Spondyloarthritis	Ultrasonography	-

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Disease activity,	between November 2016 and January 2017	Ankylosing Spondylitis Disease Activity Score (ASDAS). It is calculated by adding CRP (ASDAS-CRP) or ESR (ASDAS-ESR). there is no spesific minimal and maximum value because it depends on CRP or ESR value. Higher scores mean a worse outcome
functionality	between November 2016 and January 2017	Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis Functionality Index (BASFI). Minimal values 0, maximum value 100. Higher scores mean a worse outcome
to measure quality of life	between November 2016 and January 2017	Ankylosing Spondylitis Quality of Life (ASQoL). minimum value 0 maximum value 18. Higher scores mean a worse outcome
