Nine-hundred and sixty-two patients with AS from the Turkish League Against Rheumatism AS Registry, who fulfilled the modified New York criteria, were enrolled. The patients were evaluated using the Assessment of SpondyloArthritis International Society core outcome domains including Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis Disease Activity Index (BASDAI), fatigue (BASDAI-question 1), pain (last week/spine/due to AS), Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis Functional Index (BASFI), Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis Metrology Index (BASMI), Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis Radiology Index (BASRI), Maastricht Ankylosing Spondylitis Enthesitis Score (MASES) and two QoL questionnaires (the disease-specific ASQoL and generic the Short Form-36 [SF-36]). The mean ASQoL score was 7.1 +/- A 5.7. SF-36 subscales of general health, physical role and bodily pain had the poorest scores. ASQoL was strongly correlated with disease duration, BASDAI, fatigue, BASFI, BASMI, BASRI, MASES, pain and SF-36 subscales (P < 0.001). SF-36 subscales were also strongly correlated with BASDAI and BASFI. Advanced educational status and regular exercise habits positively affected QoL, while smoking negatively affected QoL. In patients with AS, the most significant variables associated with QoL were BASDAI, BASFI, fatigue and pain. ASQoL was noted to be a short, rapid and simple patient-reported outcome (PRO) instrument and strongly correlated with SF-36 subscales.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessHealth care sciences & servicesPublic, environmental & occupational healthAnkylosing spondylitisQuality of lifeFunctional disabilityReliabilityValidityAsqolAdolescentAdultAgedFatigueFemaleHealth statusHumansMaleMiddle agedPainQuestionnairesQuality of lifeSpondylitis, ankylosingTurkeyYoung adultArticle0002894811000102-s2.0-8005172152154354920420978859Health care sciences & servicesHealth policy & servicesPublic, environmental & occupational healthAnkylosing Spondylitis; Tragus; ExerciseAdolescentAdultAgedAnkylosing spondylitisArticleFatigueFemaleHumanHealth statusMaleMiddle agedPainPathophysiologyPsychological aspectQuality of lifeQuestionnaireTurkey (republic)
