- •high disease activity -Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis Disease Activity Index (BASDAI) > 4 measured twice, with a 12-week interval
- •spinal pain > 4cm on 10cm Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) measured twice, with a 12-week interval
- •general disease activity assessment > 5 (0-10 scale) performed after the 2nd VAS and BASDAI assessment
- •For patients suffering from Psoriatic Arthritis:
- •Psoriatic arthritis diagnosed based on the Bennett or Classification Criteria for Psoriatic Arthritis (CASPAR Criteria)
- •If peripheral joints are affected:
- •active disease assessed twice, with a 4-week interval on stable treatment, after 2 DMARDs treatment for at least 4 months
- •Criteria of active disease (all have to be met):
- •At least 5 out of 66 joints swollen - assessed twice, with a 4-week interval
- •At least 5 out of 68 joints tender - assessed twice, with a 4-week interval
- •general disease activity assessment of 4 or 5 in the Likert scale (0- 5 scale) performed by patient
- •general disease activity assessment of 4 or 5 in the Likert scale (0- 5 scale) performed by physician
- •general disease activity assessment > 5 (0-10 scale) performed after 2nd assessment of number of tender and swollen joints
- •If axial joints are affected:
- •Sacroiliac joints affected according to the New York Criteria of Ankylosing Spondylitis
- •Active and severe disease assessed twice, with a 12-week interval, stable treatment, ineffective treatment with 2 nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (administered separately) in maximal recommended or maximal tolerated dose for 3 months each
