Ann Rheum Dis. 2009;68: Rudwaleit M et al. Ann Rheum Dis 2009;
20 Specification of the Variables Used for the ASAS-Criteria for Classification of Axial Spondyloarthritis III Clinical feature Psoriasis Inflammatory bowel disease Dactylitis Enthesitis Uveitis anterior Good response to NSAIDs Definition Past or present psoriasis diagnosed by a physician Past or present Crohn s disease or ulcerative colitis diagnosed by a physician Past or present dactylitis diagnosed by a physician Heel enthesitis: past or present spontaneous pain or tenderness at examination of the site of the insertion of the Achilles tendon or plantar fascia at the calcaneus Past or present uveitis anterior, confirmed by an ophthalmologist hours after a full dose of a non-steroidal antiinflammatory drug (NSAID) the back pain is not present anymore or much better Rudwaleit M et al. Ann Rheum Dis. 2009;68: Rudwaleit M et al. Ann Rheum Dis 2009;
21 Specification of the Variables Used for the ASAS-Criteria for Classification of Axial Spondyloarthritis IV Lab or imaging feature HLA-B27 elevated CRP Sacroiliitis by X-rays Sacroiliitis by MRI Definition Positive testing according to standard laboratory techniques C-reactive protein above upper normal limit in the presence of back pain, after exclusion of other causes for elevated CRP concentration Bilateral grade 2-4 or unilateral grade 3-4, according to the modified New York criteria Active inflammatory lesions of sacroiliac joints with definite bone marrow edema/ostiitis suggestive of sacroiliitis associated with spondyloarthritis Rudwaleit M et al. Ann Rheum Dis. 2009;68: Rudwaleit M et al. Ann Rheum Dis 2009;
22 How to Define Active Inflammatory Lesions ( positive MRI ) of the Sacroiliac Joint The presence of definite subchondral bone marrow edema/osteitis highly suggestive of sacroiliitis is mandatory. The presence of synovitis, capsulitis, or enthesitis only without subchondral bone marrow edema/ osteitis is compatible with but not sufficient for making a diagnosis of active sacroiliitis. Rudwaleit M et al, Ann Rheum Dis 2009;68:
23 Active Inflammatory Lesions: General Remarks Technical aspects: STIR images are usually sufficient to detect active (acute) inflammatory lesions; exception: synovitis (not detectable with STIR only). Amount of signal required If there is 1 signal (lesion) only, this should be present on at least 2 slices. If there is more than 1 signal on a single slice, 1 slice may be enough. Rudwaleit M et al, Ann Rheum Dis 2009;68:
24 Definition of Positive MRI-SI Joint subchondral bone marrow edema acute (bilateral) sacroiliitis STIR Rudwaleit M et al, Ann Rheum Dis 2009;68:

28 Specification of the Variables Used for the ASAS-Criteria for Classification of Peripheral Spondyloarthritis I SpA feature Definition Entry criteria Arthritis Enthesitis Dactylitis Current peripheral arthritis compatible with SpA (usually asymmetric and/ or predominant involvement of the lower limb), diagnosed clinically by a physician. Current enthesitis, diagnosed clinically by a physician. Current dactylitis, diagnosed clinically by a physician. Rudwaleit M et al. Ann Rheum Dis. 2011:70:25 31
29 Specification of the Variables Used for the ASAS-Criteria for Classification of Peripheral Spondyloarthritis II Additional SpA features Dactylitis Past or present dactylitis, diagnosed by a physician. Arthritis Enthesitis Past or present peripheral arthritis compatible with SpA (usually asymmetric and/ or predominant involvement of the lower limb), diagnosed clinically by a physician. Enthesitis: past or present spontaneous pain or tenderness at examination of an enthesis. Any site of enthesitis can be affected whereas in the ASAS classification criteria for axial SpA only enthesitis of the heel is considered. Rudwaleit M et al. Ann Rheum Dis. 2011:70:25 31
30 Specification of the Variables Used for the ASAS-Criteria for Classification of Peripheral Spondyloarthritis III Additional SpA features Uveitis Psoriasis Inflammatory bowel disease Inflammatory back pain (IBP) in the past Past or present uveitis anterior, confirmed by an ophthalmologist. Past or present psoriasis, diagnosed by a physician. Past or present Crohn s disease or ulcerative colitis diagnosed by a physician. IBP in the past according to the rheumatologist s judgement. Here, only IBP in the past is considered. In patients with current IBP (and concomitant peripheral manifestations), the ASAS classification criteria for axial SpA should be applied. Rudwaleit M et al. Ann Rheum Dis. 2011:70:25 31
31 Specification of the Variables Used for the ASAS-Criteria for Classification of Peripheral Spondyloarthritis IV Additional SpA features Preceding infection Family history HLA-B27 Sacroiliitis by imaging Urethritis / cervicitis or diarrhoea within one month before the onset of arthritis / enthesitis / dactylitis. Presence in first-degree (mother, father, sisters, brothers, children) or second-degree (maternal and paternal grandparents, aunts, uncles, nieces, and nephews) relatives of any of the following: (a) ankylosing spondylitis, (b) psoriasis, (c) acute uveitis, (d) reactive arthritis, (e) inflammatory bowel disease. Positive testing according to standard laboratory techniques. Bilateral grade 2-4 or unilateral grade 3-4 sacroiliitis on plain radiographs, according to the modified New York criteria, or active sacroiliitis on MRI according to the ASAS consensus definition. Rudwaleit M et al. Ann Rheum Dis. 2011:70:25 31

34 Issues with assessment of disease activity in AS Single-variable parameters (pain, CRP etc.) and indices (BASDAI etc.) cover only a part of disease activity Disease activity as defined by the patient and physician global assessment is completely different
35 Construct of disease activity All different assessments try to measure the construct disease activity All the assessments measure a part of the construct Combining several assessments in one score will increase the truth (validity) of the score and enhance discriminative capacity and sensitivity to change Providing that the assessments measure a different aspect (are not redundant)

46 ASDAS Well balanced index covering the underlying construct of disease activity without too much redundancy Highly discriminatory tool Opportunity to reduce the sample size in RCTs by about 50% while preserving the same statistical power to detect a treatment effect Lukas et al. Ann Rheum Dis 2009;68:18-24 van der Heijde D et al. Ann Rheum Dis 2009;68:1811-8
47 Conclusions New concepts SpA (nonradiographic) axial Spa vs peripheral SpA ASAS new criteria sets ASDAS is a useful combined disease activity index
