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

Clinical and ultrasonography assessment of peripheral enthesitis in ankylosing spondylitis

TL;DR: PDUS permits detection of structural and inflammatory abnormalities of the enthesis in AS and may complement the physical examination in order to better evaluate enthesitis.

TL;DR: Anti-PS/PT antibody assays demonstrated high diagnostic performance for Chinese patients with APS, detected some APS patients negative for criteria markers and may serve as potential risk predictors for venous thrombosis and obstetric complications.

TL;DR: Improvements in clinical and patient-reported outcomes at 24 and 96 weeks were sustained through 4 years of treatment, with no new safety signals, in the first study to evaluate the efficacy of an anti-TNF across both axSpA subpopulations.

The changing clinical picture and epidemiology of spondyloarthritis
TL;DR: The implementation of the ASAS criteria for SpA might lead to an increase in the reported prevalence of SpA, as patients who were previously unidentified could now be classified as having the disease, which might have consequences for healthcare budgets.

TL;DR: Serum IL‐17 and IL‐23 levels were significantly higher in Ankylosing spondylitis patients than in healthy controls and the levels correlate to disease activity measured by BASDAI scores, but not parameters of functional ability and spinal mobility.

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.
