OBJECTIVE: To compare the sensitivity to change of different imaging scoring methods in patients with early axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA). METHODS: Patients from the DESIR cohort fulfilling the ASAS axSpA criteria were included. Radiographs and MRI of the sacroiliac joints (SIJ) and spine were obtained at baseline, 1, 2 and 5 years. Each image was scored by 2 or 3 readers in 3 separate 'reading-waves'. The ra...
This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.; OBJECTIVE: To test the impact of inflammation on MRI-structural changes occurring in the sacroiliac joints (SIJ) and the spine. METHODS: Patients with early axSpA from the DESIR cohort were included. MRIs of the SIJ (MRI-SIJ) and spine (MRI-spine), obtained at baseline, 2 and 5 years, were scored by 3 central readers. Inflammation and structural dama...
Objective To identify clusters of peripheral involvement according to the specific location of peripheral manifestations (ie, arthritis, enthesitis and dactylitis) in patients with spondyloarthritis (SpA) including psoriatic arthritis (PsA), and to evaluate whether these clusters correspond with the clinical diagnosis of a rheumatologist. Methods Cross-sectional study with 24 participating countries. Consecutiv...
Objectives: To characterise peripheral musculoskeletal involvement in patients with spondyloarthritis (SpA) including psoriatic arthritis (PsA), across the world. Methods: Cross-sectional study with 24 participating countries. Patients with a diagnosis of axial SpA (axSpA), peripheral SpA (pSpA) or PsA according to their rheumatologist were included. The investigators were asked which diagnosis out of a list of...

Objective: To analyze the progression of spinal radiographic damage in patients with early axial spondyloarthritis (SpA). Methods: Axial SpA patients from the DESIR (Devenir des Spondylarthropathies Indifférenciées Récentes) cohort with 5-year spinal (cervical and lumbar) radiographs available (n = 549) were included. Two- and 5-year modified Stoke Ankylosing Spondylitis Spine Score (mSASSS) progression and dev...
Stopping or preventing structural progression is a goal common to all inflammatory rheumatic diseases. Imaging may capture structural progression across diseases, but is susceptible to measurement error. Progression can be analysed as a continuous change score over time (eg, mean change of the van der Heijde-modified Sharp score) or as a binary change score (eg, percentage of progressors according to the modifi...
