Abstrakt: The objective of the study was to analyze whether axial psoriatic arthritis (axPsA) patients meet classification criteria for axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA) and ankylosing spondylitis (AS). A total of 104 patients (66 men and 38 women) with PsA according to CASPAR criteria were examined, all patients had back pain. Patients were evaluated for presence of inflammatory back pain (IBP) by ASAS criteria. Back pain not meeting the ASAS criteria was taken to be chronic back pain (chrBP). Patients underwent hands, feet and pelvis, cervical spine and lumbar spine X-rays. Erosions, osteolysis, and juxta-articular new bone formation were evaluated. Definite radiographic sacroiliitis (d-rSI) was defined as bilateral grade ≥ 2 or unilateral grade ≥ 3. Nineteen patients without d-rSI underwent sacroiliac joints MRI. Ninety-three patients underwent HLA B27 examination. The number of patients who met the criteria for axSpA (ASAS) and the modified New York (mNY) criteria for AS was determined. IBP was identified in 67 (64.4%) patients; chrBP, in 37 (35.6%) patients; 31 (29.8%) patient were of older age (over 40) at the onset of IBP/chrBP; 57 (58.8%) patients had d-rSI; 6 (31.6%) patients had MRI-SI; syndesmophytes were detected in 57 (58.8%) cases. Among 40 patients without d-rSI, 19 (47.5%) had syndesmophytes. In 38/97 (39.2%) patients d-rSI was detected along with syndesmophytes, while 19/97 (19.6%) patients had isolated d-rSI without spondylitis, and 19/97 (19.6%) patients had isolated syndesmophytes without d-rSI. HLA B27 was present in 28 (30.1%) cases. 51 (55.4%) patients met criteria for axSpA. Forty-one (44.6%) patients did not meet criteria for axSpA; however, 27 (65.9%) of them had syndesmophytes. Forty-eight (48.5%) PsA patients met mNY criteria for AS. Among these patients, a set of specific features was revealed: 18 (37.5%) had no IBP, 18 (37.5%) were of older age (over 40) at the onset of IBP/chrBP, 34 (70.8%) had dactylitis, 38 (79.2%) had erosive polyarthritis, 23 (48.8%) had juxta-articular new bone formation, 14 (30.2%) had osteolysis, 23 (48.9%) had "chunky" non-marginal syndesmophytes, and 40 (82.6%) had nail psoriasis; 28 (66.6%) patients were HLA-B27 negative. Forty-five percent of axPsA patients do not meet criteria for axSpA. Characteristic features have been identified to differentiate axPsA from AS.
