The outcome of ankylosing spondylitis: a study of 100 patients.
Open accessAbstract
The outcome was studied in 100 patients with adult-onset primary ankylosing spondylitis (AS). After a mean disease duration of 16 yr, 51.5% of the patients were employed in full-time work. Cessation of work occurred at a mean disease duration of 15.6 yr, and was significantly associated with female sex, low levels of education, acute anterior uveitis, 'bamboo spine' and the co-existence of non-rheumatic diseases. Functional outcome was studied by analysing activities of daily living, and revealed similar findings in males and females. Most of the loss of function occurred during the first 10 yr of disease, and correlated significantly with the occurrence of peripheral arthritis, spinal X-ray changes of AS and development of 'bamboo spine'. After > 20 yr of disease, > 80% of the patients still complained of daily pain and stiffness, and > 60% reported daily use of drugs.

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.
