Correlations among quality of life, spinal mobility, and disease activity in early-treated axial spondyloarthritis: a single-center cross-sectional study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA) significantly impacts patients' lives. The ASAS-OMERACT guideline was formulated for the multidimensional evaluation of axSpA patients, employing a specific set of tools. Given the pivotal role of patient perception, comprehensive correlation among these tools, especially concerning quality of life, may provide a clinically relevant perspective and enhance treatment efficacy in the early stages of the disease. This study aims to investigate the correlation among disease activity, functional ability, and quality of life in early-treated axSpA patients. In addition, the association between high disease activity and clinical characteristics was explored.

Methods

This cross-sectional study was conducted in a tertiary hospital in Thailan
