To evaluate the performance of the Assessment in Spondyloarthritis International Society (ASAS) criteria (axial or peripheral) against the Amor and European Spondylarthropathy Study Group criteria in established spondyloarthritis (SpA).
Rheumatologist-diagnosed patients with SpA were retrospectively classified according to the different criteria sets. Clinical characteristics of patients fulfilling all 3 criteria were compared with those who did not, by nonparametric statistics.
ASAS classified 90% of the 231 patients, with 169 (73%) fulfilling all 3 criteria sets. Multivariate analysis showed the 62 patients not fulfilling all criteria sets were older at symptom onset (p < 0.001) and less likely to have inflammatory back pain (p < 0.001), peripheral arthritis (p < 0.001), or elevated C-reactive protein levels (p = 0.034).
ASAS criteria can be used in established disease.
评估评估强直性脊柱炎国际协会（ASAS）标准（轴性或外周性）与 Amor 和欧洲脊柱关节炎研究组标准在已确诊的强直性脊柱炎（SpA）中的表现。
根据不同的标准集，回顾性地对风湿病学家诊断的 SpA 患者进行分类。通过非参数统计，比较符合所有 3 个标准的患者与不符合所有 3 个标准的患者的临床特征。
ASAS 对 231 名患者进行了分类，其中 169 名（73%）符合所有 3 个标准集。多变量分析显示，不符合所有标准集的 62 名患者在症状出现时年龄更大（p < 0.001），且更不可能有炎症性背痛（p < 0.001）、外周关节炎（p < 0.001）或 C 反应蛋白水平升高（p = 0.034）。
ASAS 标准可用于已确诊的疾病。
