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

The diagnostic value of scintigraphy in assessing sacroiliitis in ankylosing spondylitis: a systematic literature research
TL;DR: Data as a result of a literature research suggest that scintigraphy of the sacroiliac joints is at most of limited diagnostic value for the diagnosis of established AS, including the early diagnosis of probable/suspected sacroiliaitis.

Classification of juvenile spondyloarthritis: enthesitis-related arthritis and beyond
TL;DR: Resolution of issues will improve communication and the transitioning of patients from pediatric to adult clinics, will facilitate research in genetics and pathogenesis, and will be particularly important in the evaluation of tumor necrosis factor inhibitors and other biologic agents for early, axial SpA.

TL;DR: Data indicate that there is a constancy in the epidemiologic characteristics of ankylosing spondylitis and suggest that previously study results indicating changes may have been due to biases in patient selection and study design.

Clinical history as a screening test for ankylosing spondylitis.
TL;DR: A controlled study demonstrated that the clinical history may be sensitive and specific in the differential diagnosis of ankylosing spondylitis when reliance of five specific historic features is made.

TL;DR: The human hand is a fascinating subject, an actor of many roles and disguises: the man in miniature, revealing its owner's story, here is a book which sets out to teach us how best to examine it and is disappointing because it is only 50 per cent of the classic it might have been

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.
