To determine the frequency and clinical predictors of sacroiliitis diagnosed by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in a psoriatic arthritis (PsA) population.
The studied comprised 103 patients with PsA. A careful clinical assessment for sacroiliitis was made from history and examination, and HLA-B27 testing was performed. Sixty-eight patients underwent tilted coronal fat-saturated T1-weighted and STIR MRI of the sacroiliac joints.
Clinical features of moderate or severe sacroiliitis were found in 24/68 (35%) patients. MRI features of sacroiliitis were found in 26/68 (38%) patients. Clinical features of sacroiliitis were present in 14/42 (33%) with normal MRI scans and 10/26 (38%) with abnormal scans (normal vs abnormal scans, P = 0.7). The presence of sacroiliitis on MRI was associated with restricted spinal movements (P = 0.004) and the duration of PsA (P = 0.04). There was no correlation between HLA-B27 and sacroiliitis diagnosed by MRI.
Sacroiliitis diagnosed by MRI occurs commonly in PsA but is difficult to detect clinically.
确定银屑病关节炎(PsA)患者中通过磁共振成像(MRI)诊断的骶髂关节炎的发生率及临床预测因素。
研究纳入103例PsA患者。通过病史和检查对骶髂关节炎进行仔细的临床评估,并进行HLA - B27检测。68例患者接受了骶髂关节倾斜冠状位脂肪饱和T1加权和短T1反转恢复(STIR)MRI检查。
68例患者中有24例(35%)存在中度或重度骶髂关节炎的临床特征。68例患者中有26例(38%)存在骶髂关节炎的MRI特征。MRI扫描正常的42例患者中有14例(33%)存在骶髂关节炎的临床特征,MRI扫描异常的26例患者中有10例(38%)存在骶髂关节炎的临床特征(正常与异常扫描,P = 0.7)。MRI显示存在骶髂关节炎与脊柱活动受限(P = 0.004)及PsA病程(P = 0.04)相关。HLA - B27与MRI诊断的骶髂关节炎之间无相关性。
MRI诊断的骶髂关节炎在PsA中常见,但临床难以检测到。
