Overview

Cross-sectional analysis shows health-related quality of life correlates with clinical data in ankylosing spondylitis, indicating biologic therapy's impact.

Key Points

  • Positive correlations between ASQoL and multiple factors including BASDAI, BASFI, and work impairment suggest therapy's relevance.
  • Using specific indices like BASDAI and BASFI helped assess disease severity and its impact on quality of life.
  • Routine HRQoL assessments may enhance clinical management strategies for ankylosing spondylitis patients.
