AB  - OBJECTIVE: This study was designed to verify the cross-cultural psychometric 
      properties of the Functional Remission of General Schizophrenia (FROGS) scale and 
      the four-item version (mini-FROGS) in Chinese schizophrenic individuals. METHODS: 
      Item clustering analysis was used to show the clustering relationship among 
      items. Confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) was used to test the structural 
      validity of the scale. The Global Assessment of Functioning (GAF) was used as a 
      criterion to test convergent validity. The receiver operating characteristic 
      curve (ROC) and the area under the ROC curve (ROC-AUC) were calculated to test 
      the sensitivity and specificity of FROGS and mini-FROGS for functional 
      assessment. Fifty participants were randomly selected for retest at two-month 
      intervals. RESULTS: A total of 228 schizophrenia individuals were enrolled in our 
      study. The results of the item clustering analysis and CFA supported the 3-factor 
      structure of the original scale, and all items, except for the item "absence of 
      antisocial or violent", showed good psychometric characteristics. The correlated 
      coefficients between FROGS and mini-FROGS with the GAF were excellent (FROGS: 
      r = 0.74, p＜0.01; mini-FROGS: r = 0.65, p＜0.01). The retest showed that the scale 
      had good stability and validity over time (ICC = 0.856; 95% CI = 0.701 approximately 0.941). 
      Both mini-FROGS and FROGS had good sensitivity and specificity for the 
      measurement of social function (mini-FROGS: ROC-AUC = 84.3% (76.9%-91.6%), and 
      FROGS: ROC-AUC = 89.2% (83.0%-95.4%)), and there was no difference between the 
      two versions of ROC-AUC (P = 0.154). CONCLUSION: The results of our study showed 
      that the Chinese version of FROGS and mini-FROGS had good psychometric properties 
      for assessing the social function of people with schizophrenia in China. In 
      particular, the mini-FROGS version was better used in the clinical setting 
      because of its convenience and efficiency.
