BT and AT comparison in case of ankylosing spondylitis.
| Domain | Instrument | BT | AT | Percentage relief |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Function | BASFI | 9.4 | 4.8 | 48.9 |
| Pain | NRS | 10 | 3 | 70 |
| Spinal mobility | BASMI | 8.7 | 5.4 | 37.94 |
| Patient global | NRS | 9 | 3 | 66.67 |
| Affected peripheral joints | Peripheral joint count | 14 | 0 | |
| Enthesitis | MASES | 9 | 3 | |
| Stiffness | NRS | 10 | 4 | 60 |
| Acute phase reactants | ESR | 75 mm/h | 20 mm/h | 73.33 |
| Fatigue | BASDAI | 8.7 | 3.5 | 59.77 |
BASDAI = Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis Disease Activity Index, BASFI = Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis Functional Index, BASMI = Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis Metrology Index, MASES = Maastricht Ankylosing Spondylitis Enthesis Score, ESR = Erythrocyte sedimentation rate, NRS = Numerical rating scale 0–10, BT = Before treatment, AT = After treatment.
