About this trial
An observational, ambispective cohort to learn about the disease progression of axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA) according to the changes from baseline in measures of disease activity, function, and imaging.
Eligibility criteria
This trial does not accept healthy volunteersQualifiers
Patients aged 18 years or older
Diagnosis of axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA) according to the Assessment of Spondyloarthritis International Society (ASAS) classification criteria
Disqualifiers
Current diagnosis of schizophrenia, other psychotic disorders, severe cognitive impairment, or epilepsy with recurrent uncontrolled seizures, which, in the opinion of the investigator, may impair the ability to provide informed consent or comply with follow-up visits.

Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
BASFI
The Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis Functional Index (BASFI) is a self-administered instrument comprising 10 items. The first 8 items assess functional activities (e.g., bending, reaching, climbing), while items 9 and 10 assess the patient's ability to cope with daily life and the impact of morning stiffness, respectively. Each item is scored on a 10 cm visual analog scale (or numerical rating scale), and the final score is the mean of the 10 items, ranging from 0 (best function) to 10 (worst function)
Modified stoke ankylosing spondylitis spinal score (mSASSS)
The mSASSS is a valid and widely used method for assessing radiographic progression in AS, correlating with worsening measures of disease signs and symptoms, spinal mobility and physical function.
Anterior uveitis
The occurrence of anterior uveitis episodes during the disease course in patients with axSpA
Secondary outcomes
ASDAS-CRP
ASDAS-CRP=0.12 x back pain+0.06 x duration of morning stifness +0.11 x patient global+0.07 x peripheral pain/swelling +0.58xIn(CRP+1) The result of the calculation is the ASDAS-CRP score, which is used to classify the disease activity level. Generally, a score of \<1.3 indicates inactive disease, 1.3 - 2.1 indicates low disease activity, 2.1 - 3.5 indicates moderate disease activity, and \>3.5 indicates high disease activity.
ASDAS-ESR
ASDAS-ESR=0.08 x back pain +0.07 x duration of morning stiffness + 0.11 x patient global + 0.09 x peripheral pain/swelling +0.29x√(ESR) The calculated score is used to determine the disease activity level. Typically, a score of \<1.3 suggests inactive disease, 1.3 - 2.1 indicates low disease activity, 2.1 - 3.5 represents moderate disease activity, and \>3.5 means high disease activity.
BASDAI
BASDAI is a validated self assessment tool used to determine disease activity i. Utilizing a Visual Analog Scale (VAS) of 0-10 (0=none and 10=very severe) participant's answered 6 questions measuring discomfort, pain and fatigue. The final BASDAI score averages the individual assessments for a final score range of 0-10.
BASMI
The Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis Metrology Index (BASMI) is a composite index derived from five clinical measurements of spinal and hip mobility: cervical rotation, tragus-to-wall distance, lumbar side flexion, lumbar flexion (modified Schober), and intermalleolar distance . Each component is scored on a scale from 0 to 10, and the total score (0-10, with 10 indicating the most severe impairment) is the mean of these five scores.
Other outcomes
CT Syndesmophyte Score
The CT Syndesmophyte Score (CTSS) was developed for the assessment of syndesmophytes on LDCT images.
