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
