Spondyloarthritis & psoriatic arthritis
Challenges of Assessment of SpondyloArthritis international Society Criteria in Real-World Colombian Patients With Spondyloarthritis: A Cross-Sectional Study
Authors' conclusion
This large Colombian SpA cohort, predominantly comprising patients with pSpA, revealed distinct clinical and imaging features between axSpA and pSpA. The ASAS criteria showed high sensitivity but failed to classify a subset of patients with radiographic sacroiliitis as having r-axSpA, highlighting limitations in its entry criteria for axSpA.
