AUSCAN™ 3.1 Index
Australian/Canadian Hand Osteoarthritis Index
The AUSCAN™ Index is a self-administered questionnaire that assesses the three dimensions of pain, disability and joint stiffness in hand osteoarthritis using a battery of 15 questions. Scaled on 5-point Likert, 100mm Visual Analog and 11-box Numerical Rating Scales, the AUSCAN™ 3.1 is a valid, reliable and responsive measure of outcome. The index has been subject to validation studies which have addressed the following clinimetric issues:
- Reliability - stability, internal consistency
- Validity - face, content, construct
- Responsiveness
- Benchmarking against age- and gender-specific population based normative values
