Journal of Rheumatology, 05/15/09
Baraliakos X et al. - Radiographic progression in AS is rather variable and many patients show high rates of progression. On the basis of this retrospective dataset the authors propose to differentiate patients on an individual level according to their progression rates: patients with fast, moderate, and slow radiographic progression, assessed by counting new syndesmophytes. Predicting radiographic progression remains difficult; only the prevalence of syndesmophytes at baseline is predictive of future damage.
