Spondyloarthritis & psoriatic arthritis
Performance of standardized patient reported outcomes developed for spondyloarthritis in primary and concomitant forms of fibromyalgia
Authors' conclusion
ASDAS-CRP and duration of lumbar morning stiffness were not affected by cFM. FM-specific questionnaires also showed high scores in patients with SpA with cFM but not in those without.
Study context
- Population
- Patients with pFM, axSpA or PsA and indication for treatment adaptation
- Participants
- 100 / 100 / 100 / 12 / 16
- Exposure
- Primary fibromyalgia (FM) vs axSpA vs PsA, with and without concomitant FM
- pFMn = 100
- axSpAn = 100
- PsAn = 100
- axSpA+n = 12
- PsA+n = 16
- Outcome
- Performance of spondyloarthritides (SpA) PROs (BASDAI, ASDAS-CRP, DAPSA, PGA, BASFI, LEI, MASES, SPARCC, FIQ)
