OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the degree that the Cochin Hand Function Scale (CHFS) generates scores that are comparable across language, sex, and disease subtype. METHODS: We included participants enrolled in the Scleroderma Patient-centered Intervention Network (SPIN) Cohort who completed the CHFS at their baseline assessment between April 2014 and September 2020. Confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) was used to test unidimensionality, and multiple indicator multiple cause (MIMIC) models were used for differential item functioning (DIF) analysis based on language, sex, and disease subtype. Both intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) and Pearson's correlation were calculated using factor scores obtained from unadjusted and DIF-adjusted MIMIC models to evaluate agreement and correlation between scores. RESULTS: A total of 2,155 participants were included. CFA with covarying error terms supported a good fit of the model (χ CONCLUSION: The CHFS has score comparability in systemic sclerosis regardless of participants' language, sex, and disease subtype.
