P179  Perpetual dilemma: international multicentre study correlating BASDAI and ASDAS (CRP) as a marker of disease activity in spondyloarthritis

Conclusion This is a first study involving India and UK, which systematically compares the disease activity and outcome measures. Although BASDAI and ASDAS correlate well, the agreement is better for patients with high disease activity. ASDAS is more sensitive to change and shows larger effect size on follo w-up. The outcome measures correlated more with active MRI lesions. Thus the cutoff value of BASDAI>4 for active disease might need a revision in clinical practiceDisclosure N. Jain: None.S.
