Classification criteria for psoriatic arthritis: Development of new criteria from a large international study
William J. Taylor,Dafna D. Gladman,Philip S. Helliwell,Antonio Marchesoni,Philip J. Mease,Herman Mielants +5 more
TL;DR: The CASPAR criteria are simple and highly specific but less sensitive than the Vasey and Espinoza criteria and are confirmed as the validity of clinical diagnosis as the gold standard definition of "case"-ness.
Journal ArticleDOI

Valle-Oñate,Ulrich Weber,James Cheng-Chung Wei,Joachim Sieper +22 more
TL;DR: The new ASAS classification criteria for axial SpA can reliably classify patients for clinical studies and may help rheumatologists in clinical practice in diagnosing axial spondyloarthritis in those with chronic back pain.
Journal ArticleDOI
The development of Assessment of SpondyloArthritis international Society classification criteria for axial spondyloarthritis (part I): classification of paper patients by expert opinion including uncertainty appraisal
Martin Rudwaleit,Robert Landewé,D. van der Heijde,Joachim Listing,J Brandt,Jürgen Braun,Rubén Burgos-Vargas,Eduardo Collantes-Estevez,John A. Davis,Ben A. C.

Sturrock,K. de Vlam,Joachim Sieper +22 more
TL;DR: The ASAS group has developed candidate criteria for the classification of axial SpA that include patients without radiographic sacroiliitis, and the candidate criteria need to be validated in an independent international study.
Journal ArticleDOI
Assessment of enthesitis in ankylosing spondylitis
L Heuft-Dorenbosch,Anneke Spoorenberg,A. van Tubergen,Robert Landewé,H van der Tempel,Herman Mielants,Maxime Dougados,D. van der Heijde +7 more
TL;DR: Reduction of the number of entheses from 66 to 13 and omitting grading of the intensity of pain resulted in an index which was named the “Maastricht Ankylosing Spondylitis Enthesitis Score” (MASES), which seems to be a good alternative to the MEI with much better feasibility.
Journal ArticleDOI
New criteria for inflammatory back pain in patients with chronic back pain: a real patient exercise by experts from the Assessment of SpondyloArthritis international Society (ASAS)
Joachim Sieper,D. van der Heijde,Robert Landewé,J Brandt,R. Burgos-Vagas,Eduardo Collantes-Estevez,Ben A. C. Dijkmans,Maxime Dougados,M.M. Khan,Marjatta Leirisalo-Repo,S. Van der. Linden,Walter P. Maksymowych,Herman Mielants,I. Olivieri,Martin Rudwaleit +14 more
TL;DR: A new approach with real patients defines a set of IBP definition criteria using overall expert judgement on IBP as the gold standard, which are robust, easy to apply and have good face validity.
