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

TL;DR: Serum VEGF levels were not associated with presence of extra‐articular manifestations or syndesmophytes or with the grade of sacroiliitis, and therefore angiogenesis may play a role in SpA pathogenesis and may serve as a disease activity marker in SpAs.

TL;DR: CARD15 variants were identified as genetic predictors of Crohn’s disease related sacroiliitis and an association was demonstrated between these polymorphisms and an extraintestinal manifestation of Cro bowel disease.

TL;DR: A microfluidic method is developed to identify and quantify low-abundance IgG N-glycans and show some of these IgGs can be used as biomarkers for rheumatoid arthritis.

Axial spondyloarthritis: a new disease entity, not necessarily early ankylosing spondylitis
TL;DR: New classification criteria for axial spondyloarthritis have been developed by as mentioned in this paper with the goal of increasing sensitivity of criteria for early inflammatory sorditis, but these criteria substantially increase heterogeneity of the resulting disease group, reducing their value in both research and clinical settings.

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.
