Article Synopsis
- The study investigated how ultrasonographic assessment of enthesitis impacts disease activity, functionality, and quality of life in patients with spondyloarthritis (SpA).
- Ninety patients were evaluated using various clinical indices and both clinical and ultrasonographic methods to assess enthesitis, revealing that ultrasound identified more cases than clinical exams alone.
- The results showed a weak correlation between ultrasonographic scores and some clinical measures, but a moderate connection with inflammatory markers like C-reactive protein, indicating ultrasonography's effectiveness in detecting inflammation in SpA patients.
Objectives: This study aimed to clinically and ultrasonographically evaluate enthesitis in patients with spondyloarthritis (SpA) and to determine enthesitis response to anti-tumor necrosis factor (TNF) treatment.
Patients And Methods: Thirty-one SpA patients (22 males, 9 females; mean age: 39.4±10.
