| Popis: | OBJECTIVES To evaluate the relationship of C-reactive protein (CRP)/albumin ratio (CAR), neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio (NLR), platelet/lymphocyte ratio with Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis Disease Activity Index (BASDAI) in axial spondyloarthritis (Ax-SpA). STUDY DESIGN Cross-sectional study. PLACE AND DURATION OF STUDY Clinic of Rheumatology, Diskapi Education and Research Hospital, Health Sciences University, Turkey during January 2020-2021. METHODOLOGY One-hundred and nine patients aged >18 years were included. Age, gender, duration of disease, BASDAI scores were recorded. CRP, erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), albumin values, leukocyte, neutrophil, lymphocyte, platelet counts were determined. RESULTS The mean age and median disease duration of the patients were 45.03±10.63 and 5 (2-6.5) years, respectively. Among these, 28 (58.3%) female and 44 (72.1%) male patients were found to be HLA-B27 positive. BASDAI≥ 4 was observed in 61 (56%) patients and |
