The potential value of fibrinogen to albumin ratio (FAR) in the assessment of inflammation in spondyloarthritis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Fibrinogen to albumin ratio (FAR) is a newly investigated indicator for inflammation. The study aimed to explore the potential ability of FAR in assessing the severity of inflammation in spondyloarthritis.

Methods

The clinical data of 196 spondyloarthritis (SpA) patients, 66 osteoarthritis (OA) patients, and 81 healthy controls (HC) were collected in this retrospective study. The SpA group included 69 psoriatic arthritis patients, 47 reactive arthritis patients and 80 ankylosing spondylitis patients. Chi-square test and Mann-Whitney U test, Spearman's correlation test, regression analysis, and ROC analyses were used for the analysis of FAR.

Results

FAR level in group SpA was higher than in OA or HC. In the SpA group, the reactive arthritis group was charact
