Journal ArticleDOI
The effect of tumour necrosis factor inhibitors on radiographic progression in axial spondyloarthritis : A systematic literature review
Nadine Boers,Celia A J Michielsens,Désirée van der Heijde,Alfons A den Broeder,Paco M J Welsing +4 more
TL;DR: A systematic literature review up to January 2019 to determine whether longer use of standard dose TNFi is superior vs lower duration or lower doses TNFi therapy, conventional synthetic DMARDs alone, or no therapy in inhibiting radiographic progression in patients with axial SpA finds conflicting results.
Journal Article
Development and validation of the French ASQoL questionnaire.
TL;DR: Results show equivalence in content and validity of the cross-culturally adapted ASQoL for French speaking settings, and rewording outcome categories from yes/no into true/false to better suit the French context.
Journal ArticleDOI
Imaging in spondylitis.
TL;DR: MRI inflammation may become an important outcome measure in clinical trials in ankylosing spondylitis patients, and plain radiography may be used to assess 2-year progression of structural damage of the spine in ankalosing sponylitis.
Journal ArticleDOI
Is the Site of Back Pain Related to the Location of Magnetic Resonance Imaging Lesions in Patients With Chronic Back Pain? Results From the Spondyloarthritis Caught Early Cohort
Manouk de Hooge,Freek de Bruin,Lieke de Beer,P. Bakker,Rosaline van den Berg,Sofia Ramiro,Floris A. van Gaalen,Karen Minde Fagerli,Robert Landewé,Maikel van Oosterhout,Roberta Ramonda,Tom W J Huizinga,Hans L Bloem,Monique Reijnierse,Désirée van der Heijde +14 more
TL;DR: To determine associations between magnetic resonance imaging lesions originating from either axial spondyloarthritis (SpA) or from degeneration and pain in patients with chronic back pain of <2 years duration, MRI is used.
Journal ArticleDOI
The performance of different classification criteria sets for spondyloarthritis in the worldwide ASAS-COMOSPA study
Pauline Bakker,Anna Molto,Anna Molto,Adrien Etcheto,Filip Van den Bosch,Filip Van den Bosch,Robert Landewé,Floris A van Gaalen,Maxime Dougados,Maxime Dougados,Désirée van der Heijde +10 more
TL;DR: Most patients with a clinical diagnosis of axial SpA in the worldwide ASAS-COMOSPA study fulfil several classification criteria sets, and a substantial overlap between different criteria sets is seen, which suggests a high level of credibility of the criteria.
