Association of the AUStralian/CANadian Osteoarthritis Hand Index (AUSCAN) for hand osteoarthritis (OA) physical function subscale score with clinical hand OA and specific comorbidities. A multivariable logistic regression analysis was performed controlling for sex, age, country of origin, and education level. Subjects defined as having more impairment (those with AUSCAN for hand OA physical function subscale scores in the highest quartile) were compared with subjects with scores in the lower quartiles. Odds ratios (ORs) with 95% confidence intervals (95%Cis) are shown for having more impairment versus not having more impairment. Possible AUSCAN for hand OA pain subscale scores range from 0 to 100, with 0 indicating no pain.
