| Popis: | Background Prior studies reported conflicting results regarding differences in Assessment of SpondyloArthritis (ASAS) Health Index (HI) scores between radiographic axial spondyloarthritis (r-axSpA) and non-radiographic axial spondyloarthritis (nr-axSpA). Country-level variations in disease activity were also observed. Hence, this study aimed to compare the ASAS HI scores between r-axSpA and nr-axSpA in Singapore, and determine factors associated with poorer ASAS HI scores. Methods This was a cross-sectional evaluation of baseline data from a prospective cohort study in Singapore General Hospital, from January 2018 to March 2023. Patients aged 21 years and above who were clinically diagnosed with axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA) based on the 2009 ASAS criteria were included. Sociodemographic variables, clinical variables and patient-reported outcomes were collected. Univariable and multivariable linear regression were performed to identify variables associated with ASAS HI scores. Variables with p-value of |
