Spondyloarthritis and Nutrition

Completed

• Conditions: Nutrition Disorders; Spondyloarthrosis
• Interventions: Other: Interviews and questionnaires

• Registration Number: NCT05289011
• Lead Sponsor: University Hospital, Limoges

Brief Summary

The food composition and consumption of certain foods could be associated with a higher or lower inflammatory activity of spondyloarthritis and consequently changes in the quality of life of patients. This has been shown in other chronic inflammatory disease.

In order to highlight a profile or nutritional profiles associated with the activity of the disease, we chose to carry out observational pilot study using a qualitative food survey, which will be submitted to all patients with spondyloarthritis. The general demographic data and the data of the disease will be collected by the investigating physician at the same time, as well as possible confounding factors: comorbidities, physical activity, treatments.

Arm && Interventions

Group	Intervention	Description
Patients with spondyloarthritis without Inflammatory bowel disease	Interviews and questionnaires	-

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Nutritional survey	Day 0	internal questionnaire, correlation between patient's nutrition profile and disease activity
Disease activity	Day 0	Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis Disease Activity Index (BASDAI), score ASDAS, correlation between patient's nutrition profile and disease's activity

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Physical activity	Day 0	International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ)
Fatigue	Day 0	Functional Assessment of Chronic Illness Therapy-Fatigue (FACIT-F) instrument. The FACIT-F instrument has 13 items with a score ranging from 0 to 52: lower scores indicating more fatigue
Assess the quality of life	Day 0	Ankylosing Spondylitis Quality of Life Questionnaire (ASQol)
Digestive symptoms	Day 0	Internal questionnaire, correlation between patient's nutrition profile and digestive symptoms The digestive symptom questionnaire had 6 questions, one for each symptom: constipation or hard stools, diarrhoea or frequent stools, stomach pains, gastroesophageal reflux or pyrosis, abdominal pain, and bloating. Each question was scored between 0 to 4: 0 (never occurred), 1 (rarely), 2 (sometimes), 3 (most of the time), and 4 (always). Thus, the cumulative score ranged from 0 to 24
