Brief Summary
The Chinese Spondyloarthritis Inception cohort (CESPIC) was started 2000 as a prospective, longitudinal, multicentre, nationwide study in China on patients with early SpA including ankylosing spondylitis (AS, also known as radiographic axial spondyloarthritis) and non-radiographic axial SpA. The objectives of CESPIC are to learn about the course of SpA during the very early stage of the disease, to appropriately assess the outcome including radiographic progression of patients after several years of follow-up, to identify outcome predictors, to assess quality of life, function, and costs (direct and indirect costs). CESPIC has been recently expanded to recruit patients with other forms of SpA / conditions associated with SpA: reactive arthritis, acute anterior uveitis, Crohn's disease as well as with psoriasis / axial psoriatic arthritis.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (5)
BASDAI
The Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis Disease Activity Index (BASDAI) disease activity questionnaire contains six questions regarding subjective symptoms
baseline
ASDAS
The Ankylosing Spondylitis Disease Activity Score (ASDAS) is a new composite index to assess disease activity in Ankylosing Spondylitis (AS)1. It combines five disease activity variables with only partial overlap, resulting in one single score with better truth (validity), enhanced discriminative capacity and improved sensitivity to change as compared to single-item variables
baseline
CRP
A c-reactive protein test measures the level of c-reactive protein (CRP) in a sample of your blood. CRP is a protein that your liver makes. Normally, you have low levels of c-reactive protein in your blood. Your liver releases more CRP into your bloodstream if you have inflammation in your body. High levels of CRP may mean you have a serious health condition that causes inflammation.
baseline
BASMI
BASMI was created to help clinicians accurately assess axial status (through five measurements) of individuals suffering from Ankylosing Spondylitis. The measurements are then interpreted to derive a metrology index to define clinically significant changes in spinal mobility.
baseline
BASFI
The Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis Functional Index is to determine the degree of functional limitation in patients with the inflammatory autoimmune disease Ankylosing Spondylitis (AS).

Study Arms (7)
Ankylosing spondylitis
Ankylosing spondylitis according to the modified New York criteria or with the clinical diagnosis of AS/r-axSpA fulfilling the ASAS Classification Criteria AND the mNY criteria plus having the indiaction for starting a bDMARD therapy according to the treating rheumatologist
Non-radiographic axial spondyloarthritis
Patients with clinical characteristics of axial SpA but not fulfilling the modified New York criteria for which radiographic sacroiliitis is essential or with the clinical diagnosis of nr-axSpA fulfilling the ASAS Classification Criteria not fulfilling the mNY criteria and the indiaction for starting a bDMARD therapy according to the treating rheumatologist
Juvenile spondyloarthritis
Patients with juvenile spondyloarthritis (juvenile ankylosing spondylitis, juvenile non-AS-spondyloarthritis).
Crohn's disease
Patients with Crohn's disease
Acute anterior uveitis
Patients with acute anterior uveitis
Axial psoriatic arthritis
Patients with the clinical diagnosis of psoriatic arthritis with axial involvement (sacroiliac joints and/or spine) (axPsA)
Reactive arthritis
Patients with reactive arthritis
Interventions
If we find any behavior that affects the safety of patients in the experiment, we will stop
Eligibility Criteria
Patients included in CESPIC are required to have a definite clinical diagnosis of axial SpA / juvenile SpA (currently only adult patients with radiographic axial SpA = ankylosing spondylitis - AS are recruited) or a definite diagnosis of Crohn's disease or a definite diagnosis of acute anterior uveitis or a definite diagnosis of psoriatic arthritis with axial involvement or a definite diagnosis of reactive arthritis.
You may qualify if:
- Crohn's disease. Acute anterior uveitis. Psoriatic arthritis with axial involvement. Reactive arthritis.
You may not qualify if:
- Infections, Malignancies, Major cardiovascular events, Lower intestinal perforations Other adverse events
