About this study

Official title: Severity Over Time of Early Forms of Spondyloarthritis, a Prospective Observational Study.

Spondyloarthritis (SpA) is a group of chronic inflammatory pathologies whose progression over time is poorly defined, and in particular the clinical and instrumental elements that can predispose to a condition of disease severity are not completely known. It would be important to have an idea of what the predisposing factors are, possibly already at baseline, and possibly also at follow up, of severe disease, so as to be able to act early with more aggressive and targeted therapies on these patients, so as to achieve remission.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Diagnostic assessmentDiagnostic test

    patient with sponiloarthritis who comes to the clinic Hospital for clinical evaluation of disease. Assessment instrumental evaluation of the axial involvment t, with x-ray of the spine and pelvis every 5 years, and MRI of the spine and pelvis every 2 years.

  • Diagnostic assessmentDiagnostic test

    peripheral involvement, with joint ultrasound at baseline, at 3 months from the start of a new therapy, and therefore in the event of reactivation of the disease

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. spondyloarthritis severity

    evaluation of disease severity at 10 years in the entire study population

    Measured: t0 baseline 3hours, t1 3 months 3hours,t2 6 months 3hours,t2 12months 3hours,every six months up to the tenth year
