The Hebrew version of the UCLA SCTC GIT 2.0 and the Hebrew version of the Short Form 36 (SF-36) were administered to 19 Hebrew-speaking patients with systemic sclerosis. Internal reliability was assessed using Cronbach\u2019s alpha. The Hebrew questionnaire was then tested for external validity using Spearman\u2019s correlation coefficient. Correlations ( rho)\u2009\u2a7d\u20090.29 were considered small, 0.30 to 0.49 were moderate, and those \u2a7e0.50 were considered large. Differences were considered statistically significant at p\u2009<\u20090.05.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Results:<\/jats:title>\n A group of 19 patients treated at Sheba Medical Center meeting the ACR\/EULAR classification system for systemic sclerosis were included in the study. The mean age of the participants was 60.4\u2009\u00b1\u200912\u2009years with a female predominance (84%). Diffuse cutaneous scleroderma accounted for 10 of the participants (54%), 7 had limited cutaneous scleroderma (36%) with 2 having an overlap syndrome (10%). The Cronbach\u2019s alpha value for the UCLA SCTC GIT 2.0 scale was 0.908 showing reliability. In addition, the UCLA SCTC GIT 2.0 showed correlation to the SF-36.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Conclusion:<\/jats:title>\n The translation of the Hebrew UCLA SCTC GIT 2.0 scale was reliable and valid with a total Cronbach\u2019s alpha score among the participants of 0.908. Cronbach\u2019s alpha was particularly reliable in reflux, bloating, social function, and emotional well-being. Our results suggest that our Hebrew version of the UCLA SCTC GIT 2.0 scale can be used as a tool in future studies with Hebrew-speaking patients. In the abstract conclusion, it states that \u201cCronbach\u2019s alpha was particularly reliable in reflux, bloating, social function, and emotional well-being.\u201d The related data should be listed in the results section and then an interpretation of the results should be listed in the conclusions section.
