Predictive factors of radiographic progression in ankylosing spondylitis
BACKGROUND/AIMS The course of ankylosing spondylitis (AS) is rather variable, and the factors that predict radiographic progression remain largely obscure. In this study, we tried to determine the clinical factors and laboratory measures that are useful in predicting the radiographic progression of patients with AS. METHODS In 64 consecutive patients with AS, we collected radiographic and lab...
متن کاملNSAIDs and radiographic progression in ankylosing spondylitis
ARE NSAIDS DISEASE-MODIFYING ANTIRHEUMATIC DRUGS (DMARDS)? Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), including Coxibs, are recommended as first-line drug treatment for patients with ankylosing spondylitis (AS) with inflammatory back pain and stiffness. Continuous treatment with NSAIDs is preferred for patients with persistently active, symptomatic disease. Although many young patients wit...
متن کاملScoring radiographic progression in ankylosing spondylitis: should we use the modified Stoke Ankylosing Spondylitis Spine Score (mSASSS) or the Radiographic Ankylosing Spondylitis Spinal Score (RASSS)?
INTRODUCTION Radiographic damage is one of the core outcomes in axial SpA and is usually assessed with the modified Stoke Ankylosing Spondylitis (AS) Spine Score (mSASSS). Alternatively, the Radiographic AS Spinal Score (RASSS) is proposed, which includes the lower thoracic vertebrae, under the hypothesis that most progression occurs in these segments. We aimed to compare the mSASSS and RASSS w...
متن کاملUrolithiasis in ankylosing spondylitis: Correlation with Bath ankylosing spondylitis disease activity index (BASDAI), Bath ankylosing spondylitis functional index (BASFI) and Bath ankylosing spondylitis metrology index (BASMI)
Background: Increased incidence of renal stone has been reported in ankylosing spondylitis (AS), but unlike some well-known renal involvements, they have not been fully studied. The aim of this study was to investigate the association of AS with urolithiasis and also the relation between urinary stone and severity markers. Methods: One hundred-sixty three AS patients were included in a cross-s...
متن کاملRadiographic axial spondyloarthritis versus ankylosing spondylitis.
Sirs, Braun et al. in their letter claim that in clinical practice there is no need to differentiate between a diagnosis of ‘radiographic axial spondylaorthritis (axSpA)’ and ‘non-radiographic axSpA (nr-axSpA) (1). Implicit in their reasoning is the view that nr-axSpA and AS represent one single entity, even though differences between the two entities have been reported, including gender, HLA-B...
