Unmet Needs of Axial Spondyloarthrits in Egyptian Patients

Not yet recruiting

• Conditions: Axial Spondyloarthritis

• Registration Number: NCT05517031
• Lead Sponsor: Sohag University

Brief Summary

During the past decade, the well-known disease called Ankylosing Spondylitis has come to be considered as a subset of the broader entity referred as axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA), which also includes non-radiographic axSpA. The need of this new classification was aimed to improve the sensitivity for an early diagnosis, to reduce diagnostic delay, and to allow an early treatment. Although there is improvement in the recognition, the management of patients, and the treatment strategies of axSpA, unmet needs persist , there is still a substantial gap of 5-8 years between the onset of symptoms and the diagnosis of axSpA.

. This study is intended to enhance awareness and understanding of Axial Spondyloarthritis and to identify and discuss the current unmet needs in axSpA .

Multiple defects are still unfullfilled for axial SpA patients those defects include delayed diagnosis specially for female, failure to acheive treatment target, pain, impaired quality of life and associated comorbidities.

Up to the best of our knowledge this is the first study to highlight unmet needs for axial Spondyloarthritis patients in Egypt in general and in upper Egypt in particular .

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
(ASDAS score ) The Ankylosing Spondylitis Disease Activity score	3 months	an index to assess disease activity in Ankylosing Spondylitis (AS).
Katz Activity Daily Living	3 months	The Katz Activities of Daily Living (ADL) scale is a widely used graded instrument that assesses six primary and psychosocial functions: bathing, dressing, going to toilet, transferring, feeding, and continence.
(VAS score ) Visual Analogue Score	3 months	A psychometric response scale for parameters that range across a continuum of values, such as pain. The VAS pain scale ranges from "no pain" to "worst pain," and patients mark a line to indicate how they are feeling.
(BASFI score ) Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis Functional Index	3 months	The BASFI consists of 10 questions, answered on a VAS. The final score is the average of the questions, ranging from 0 (no limitation) to 10 (maximal limitation in function).
