Axial Spondyloarthritis and Diagnostic Challenges: Over-diagnosis, Misdiagnosis, and Under-diagnosis.
Purpose of review: This article aims to review the challenges in axial spondyloarthritis diagnosis and identify the possible contributing factors.
Recent findings: The inability to reach an accurate diagnosis in a timely fashion can lead to treatment delays and worse disease outcomes. The lack of validated diagnostic criteria and the misuse of the currently available classification criteria could be contributing. There is also significant inter-reader variability in interpreting images, and the radiologic definitions of axial spondyloarthritis continue to be re-defined to improve their positive predictive value. The role of inflammatory back pain features, serologic biomarkers, genetics, and their diagnostic contribution to axial spondyloarthritis continues to be investigated. There is still a significant amount of delay in the diagnosis of axial spondyloarthritis. Appreciating the factors that contribute to this delay is of utmost importance to close the gap. It is similarly important to recognize other conditions that may present with symptoms that mimic axial spondyloarthritis so that misdiagnosis and wrong treatment can be avoided.
期刊介绍:
This journal aims to review the most important, recently published research in the field of rheumatology. By providing clear, insightful, balanced contributions by international experts, the journal intends to serve all those involved in the care and prevention of rheumatologic conditions.
We accomplish this aim by appointing international authorities to serve as Section Editors in key subject areas such as the many forms of arthritis, osteoporosis and metabolic bone disease, and systemic lupus erythematosus. Section Editors, in turn, select topics for which leading experts contribute comprehensive review articles that emphasize new developments and recently published papers of major importance, highlighted by annotated reference lists. An international Editorial Board reviews the annual table of contents, suggests articles of special interest to their country/region, and ensures that topics are current and include emerging research. Commentaries from well-known figures in the field are also occasionally provided.
