Spondyloarthritis research Consortium of Canada magnetic resonance imaging index for assessment of sacroiliac joint inflammation in ankylosing spondylitis
Abstract
Objective: To develop a feasible magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)–based scoring system for sacroiliac joint inflammation in patients with ankylosing spondylitis (AS) that requires minimal scan time, does not require contrast enhancement, evaluates lesions separately at each articular surface, and limits the number of sacroiliac images that are scored. Methods: A scoring method based on the assessment of increased signal denoting bone marrow edema on T2‐weighted STIR sequences was used. MRI films were assessed blindly in random order at 2 sites by multiple readers. Intra‐ and interreader reliability was assessed by intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC); the 24‐week response of patients with AS randomized to placebo:infliximab (3:8) was assessed by effect size and standardized response mean. The reliability and responsiveness of the scoring method were compared for STIR and gadolinium diethylenetriaminepentaacetic (Gd‐DTPA)–enhanced MRI sequences. Results: We scanned 11 patients with AS with clinically active disease and 11 additional patients randomized to the trial of infliximab therapy. ICC for total sacroiliac joint STIR score ranged from 0.90 to 0.98 (P < 0.00001) and interobserver ICC for combined readers from the 2 sites was 0.84 (P < 0.0001). ICC for change scores was lower for STIR (ICC 0.53) than for Gd‐DTPA–enhanced sequences (ICC 0.79). Responsiveness was poor, although fusion was evident in one‐third of patients who received treatment (placebo:infliximab) and inflammation scores were low. Conclusion: The Spondyloarthritis Research Consortium of Canada MRI index is a feasible and reproducible index for measuring sacroiliac joint inflammation in patients with AS.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
