TLDR
The study showed the clinical history screening test for AS to be moderately sensitive, but it might be better in clinical practice, and substitution of the Rome pain criterion for the New York pain criterion is proposed.Abstract:
The New York and the Rome diagnostic criteria for ankylosing spondylitis (AS) and the clinical history screening test for AS were evaluated in relatives of AS patients and in population control subjects. The New York criterion of pain in the (dorso) lumbar spine lacks specificity, and the chest expansion criterion is too insensitive. The Rome criterion of low back pain for more than 3 months is very useful. Our study showed the clinical history screening test for AS to be moderately sensitive, but it might be better in clinical practice. As a modification of the New York criteria, substitution of the Rome pain criterion for the New York pain criterion is proposed.read more

A review of the pathogenesis of ankylosing spondylitis
TL;DR: Although there have been significant new findings in the understanding of the pathogenesis of AS, the exact mechanisms have yet to be identified, there is considerable optimism that additional susceptibility genes, predisposing factors, and regulators of the inflammatory process will be identified that will provide avenues for future treatment.

The concept of spondyloarthritis: Where are we now?
TL;DR: A historical evolution of the concept of SpA is provided, from the Rome Criteria to the ASAS criteria, current issues and barriers with the use of AS AS criteria, and the work that still needs to be done moving forward are provided.

TL;DR: Radiological damage of the cervical and lumbar spine, thoracic wedging, and disease activity are determinants of hyperkyphosis in patients with ankylosing spondylitis and could be important in determining treatment goals in this disease.

TL;DR: The discriminatory value of the New York criterion of history of pain or the presence of pain at the dorsolumbar junction or in the lumbar spine was analyzed in the population and family studies and was found to be too nonspecific.
