Brief Summary

The Chinese Spondyloarthritis Inception cohort (CESPIC) was started 2000 as a prospective, longitudinal, multicentre, nationwide study in China on patients with early SpA including ankylosing spondylitis (AS, also known as radiographic axial spondyloarthritis) and non-radiographic axial SpA. The objectives of CESPIC are to learn about the course of SpA during the very early stage of the disease, to appropriately assess the outcome including radiographic progression of patients after several years of follow-up, to identify outcome predictors, to assess quality of life, function, and costs (direct and indirect costs). CESPIC has been recently expanded to recruit patients with other forms of SpA / conditions associated with SpA: reactive arthritis, acute anterior uveitis, Crohn's disease as well as with psoriasis / axial psoriatic arthritis.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
CRPbaseline

A c-reactive protein test measures the level of c-reactive protein (CRP) in a sample of your blood. CRP is a protein that your liver makes. Normally, you have low levels of c-reactive protein in your blood. Your liver releases more CRP into your bloodstream if you have inflammation in your body. High levels of CRP may mean you have a serious health condition that causes inflammation.

BASMIbaseline

BASMI was created to help clinicians accurately assess axial status (through five measurements) of individuals suffering from Ankylosing Spondylitis. The measurements are then interpreted to derive a metrology index to define clinically significant changes in spinal mobility.

ASDASbaseline

The Ankylosing Spondylitis Disease Activity Score (ASDAS) is a new composite index to assess disease activity in Ankylosing Spondylitis (AS)1. It combines five disease activity variables with only partial overlap, resulting in one single score with better truth (validity), enhanced discriminative capacity and improved sensitivity to change as compared to single-item variables

BASFIbaseline

The Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis Functional Index is to determine the degree of functional limitation in patients with the inflammatory autoimmune disease Ankylosing Spondylitis (AS).

BASDAIbaseline

The Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis Disease Activity Index (BASDAI) disease activity questionnaire contains six questions regarding subjective symptoms

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
ASAS40baseline

The ASAS Response Criteria (ASAS 20) is defined as an improvement of at least 40% and an absolute improvement of at least 10 units on a 0-100 scale in at least three of the following domains: Patient global assessment, Pain assessment, Function (BASFI), and Inflammation (last 2 questions of BASDAI).

ASAS20baseline
