Ankylosing Spondylitis

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (7)

• Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis Metrology Index

  This index consists of 5 measurements: cervical rotation, tragus to wall distance, lumbar side flexion, modified Schober's, intermalleolar distance.

  10 minutes

• Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis Disease Activity Index

  BASDAI consists of 6 questions evaluating the patient's level of weakness/fatigue, spinal pain, joint pain/swelling and sensitivity to touch, and duration of morning stiffness in the last week.

  5minutes

• Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis Functional Index (BASFI)

  This scale, which evaluates the functional limitation of AS patients in activities of daily living, consists of 10 questions.

  5 minutes

• Ankylosing Spondylitis Quality of Life Questionnaire

  This questionnaire, which evaluates disease-specific quality of life, consists of 18 questions

  5 minutes

• Maastrich Ankylosing Spondylitis Enthesitis Score

  Its validity and reliability were defined to evaluate enthesopathy and peripheral joint involvement.

  5minutes

• Multidimensional Assessment of Fatigue Scale

  MAF scale evaluates the level of fatigue during daily activities in the last week.

  5 minutes

• Biopsychosocial Questionnaire (BETY-BQ)

  The BETY-BQ evaluates the biopsychosocial status of patients with rheumatic diseases.
