State of the question</span><p id="par0055" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">The panellists agreed that currently there is not a consensus definition of remission in axSpA. However, they considered that it is possible to achieve remission in this entity. Remission in a chronic inflammatory disease, such as axSpA, does not correspond to complete healing or a state of symptoms acceptable to the patient. Instead, remission is a state in which the disease has little or no activity and during which there is no progression of the disease.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0170"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">6</span></a></p><p id="par0060" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">Clinical remission/inactive disease is defined by the absence of clinical and laboratory evidence of significant inflammatory activity and the treatment target should be clinical remission/inactive disease of musculoskeletal (arthritis, dactylitis, enthesitis, axial disease) and extra-articular manifestations, as proposed by the recently updated treat to target recommendations.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0155"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">3</span></a> However, it remains unclear how to precisely assess this in clinical practice and different proposals have been made. In 2001 the Assessment of Spondyloarthritis International Society (ASAS) suggested a preliminary definition of partial remission as a value no greater than 2 on 0–10 visual analog scales (VAS) for the following four domains: patient global assessment, spinal pain, physical function (measured through the Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis Functional Index – BASFI) and inflammation (Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis Disease Activity Index – BASDAI – items 5 and 6).<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0175"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">7</span></a> However, this definition includes a functional parameter (BASFI) and recovery of normal function becomes more difficult with increasing disease duration, as structural damage accumulates over time. In 2016, the ASAS/EULAR (European League Against Rheumatism) recommendations for axSpA described inactive disease as a “clinical remission-like definition” based on an ASDAS (Ankylosing Spondylitis Disease Activity Score) <1.3.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0180"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">8</span></a> In the 2017 updated consensus of the Spanish Society of Rheumatology (SER) for the treatment of axSpA, ASDAS-CRP was recommended as the main index to monitor disease activity, with the ASDAS-CRP <1.3 cut-off as the best available way to define remission.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0185"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">9</span></a> It has been established that an ASDAS-CRP <2.1, which is equivalent to low disease activity (LDA), may be considered acceptable. Therefore, ASDAS-CRP is recommended as the main index to monitor the disease activity, establishing thus the value of ASDAS-CRP <1.3 as the best available way to define remission. Also, when defining whether a patient with axSpA has reached remission or LDA, in addition to these indices, it is recommended to consider physician global assessment.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0185"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">9</span></a> The 2018 French<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0190"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">10</span></a> and the 2016 Portuguese guidelines<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0195"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">11</span></a> also recommended ASDAS <1.3 as the equivalent of remission. The 2017 guidelines of the UK's National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE)<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0200"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">12</span></a> and the 2015 American College of Rheumatology (ACR)<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0205"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">13</span></a> did not provide a definition of remission in axSpA.</p><p id="par0065" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">However, the state of ‘inactive disease’ does not always correspond to the remission of the disease. For example, a patient with absence of joint symptoms who presents with recurrent flares of uveitis should not be considered in remission<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0170"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">6</span></a> and attention must be paid to extra-articular manifestations.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0210"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">14</span></a> As mentioned before, inactivity of the extra-articular manifestations is also highlighted as a treatment target.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0155"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">3</span></a></p><p id="par0070" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">Regarding disease activity evaluation, different composite indices have been used, but currently there is no consensus on the optimal index. The BASDAI has been the most widely used in clinical trials and clinical practice. Although a definition of clinical remission or LDA has not been validated using this index,<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0155"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">3</span></a> some clinical trials and observational studies have used different cut-off points (BASDAI <4, <3 or ≤3).<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0210"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">14</span></a> BASDAI has the disadvantage of being a solely patient-reported outcome (PRO), so does not include objective parameters. The ASDAS index,<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0215"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">15</span></a> in addition to including some questions from the BASDAI, offers a more objective assessment of disease activity by including C reactive protein (CRP), a marker of inflammation. Alternatively, it can be calculated using erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), when CRP is not available. Cut-off points have been established and define disease activity states which have been validated in both clinical practice and clinical trials patients.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0220"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">16</span></a> As mentioned before, it is increasingly recommended to use the ASDAS for disease activity assessment in axSpA.</p><p id="par0075" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">Although it is likely that rheumatologists have a good level of knowledge of the disease activity indices, this is often not reflected in their evaluations during the patient follow-up in clinical practice. Even the BASDAI that has been more broadly used until recently was not often assessed, or at least recorded in the clinical charts. As an example, in a 2012 Spanish study of clinical charts of 1168 SpA patients, even if the rheumatologists knew the indices to assess disease activity in such patients, they did not use them routinely.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0225"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">17</span></a> This is probably because they are subjective and time-consuming, but this finding points out that the evaluation and records of disease activity measurements in the clinical charts could improve.</p><p id="par0080" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">Regarding treatment response, again there is no consensus on how it should be monitored in patients with axSpA. The BASDAI and ASDAS indices are commonly used, but they have limitations such as the reliance on subjective parameters, as well as not including extra-articular manifestations or functional assessment, which correlates with the development of structural damage. In 2001, ASAS developed a preliminary definition, the ASAS partial remission, as mentioned before.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0175"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">7</span></a> Furthermore, one of the most challenging aspects in the definition of remission/LDA in axSpA is how to incorporate the patient's perspective.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0210"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">14</span></a> This is because the assessment of remission by the patient is conditioned by multiple variables that may be unrelated to disease activity, such as the presence of associated degenerative pathology, fibromyalgia and other subjective parameters that modify the patient's perception of pain and well-being.</p></span><span id="sec0050" class="elsevierStyleSection elsevierViewall"><span class="elsevierStyleSectionTitle" id="sect0110">Block II. Definition of remission</span><p id="par0085" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">There was consensus that the assessment of remission in axSpA patients should include disease activity, physical function, impact on daily life activities and professional life, nocturnal pain, spinal mobility, peripheral arthritis, enthesitis, quality of life, response to treatment, extra-articular manifestations, inflammatory activity in imaging tests, CRP or ESR levels and patient and physician global assessments.</p><p id="par0090" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">None of the currently available disease activity assessment tools for axSpA includes the presence of inflammation in imaging tests. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is important in the initial assessment of axSpA, as it is part of the ASAS classification criteria for this entity.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0230"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">18</span></a> However, important limitations preclude the use of MRI in the definition of remission, such as the availability of the equipment, the radiologist's training, the sensitivity and specificity of the test (as bone marrow oedema can be associated with other causes, such as mechanical stress, and it is also seen in healthy people) and discrepancies between clinical remission and persistence of inflammatory lesions. The evaluation of enthesitis by ultrasound could also have some value in this aspect, although it requires special training and consumes additional time.</p><p id="par0095" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">Although prevention of structural damage is considered a key therapeutic objective, it is not included in the composite indices used for the assessment of axSpA. In clinical practice, the BASFI or the spinal mobility have been used as indirect measures of structural damage. However, depending of the disease stage, BASFI or spinal mobility may be related to the presence of disease activity or structural damage. In this sense, in the early stages of the disease BASFI or mobility are more affected by disease activity<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRefs" href="#bib0235"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">19,20</span></a> while in more advanced stages of the disease radiographic damage impairs more the mobility of the patients.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0240"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">20</span></a> Radiographs are, to date, the first-choice method for assessing structural damage, due to their accessibility and low cost. Different methods for the assessment of structural damage based on X-rays have been developed, such as the Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis Radiology Index (BASRI)<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0245"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">21</span></a> and the modified Stoke Ankylosing Spondylitis Spine Score (mSASSS).<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0250"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">22</span></a></p><p id="par0100" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">Comorbidities are prevalent in SpA and increase the burden of the disease by worsening its activity, increasing functional disability, as well as mortality.

Therefore, their inclusion would be rather a confounder.</p><p id="par0105" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">Fatigue is one of the most important symptoms in axSpA, along with pain and stiffness. However, this manifestation has not been studied extensively, probably because it is subjective, multifactorial and difficult to quantify.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0260"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">24</span></a> Consequently, there is no consensus regarding its inclusion within the concept of remission in axSpA, although it is recommended to monitor fatigue during follow-up visits.</p></span><span id="sec0055" class="elsevierStyleSection elsevierViewall"><span class="elsevierStyleSectionTitle" id="sect0115">Block III. General recommendations in the outpatient visits</span><p id="par0110" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">Consensus was reached regarding the inclusion of a validated tool to measure disease activity during follow-up in outpatient clinics. This tool should include nocturnal pain, spinal mobility, peripheral arthritis, enthesitis, extra-articular manifestations, activity on imaging tests, CRP and ESR levels, favourable opinion of the patient, and physician global assessments. Also, the panellists agreed on the evaluation of physical function, impact on the activities of daily life and on professional life, quality of life and response to treatment. However, although we have tools that include some of the mentioned variables, none that include all of them is available, and most probably would not be feasible in clinical practice. This may be reflecting that even when clinicians do not use specific tools to measure all of the aspects of the disease they take into account all disease manifestations to evaluate the patient state.</p><p id="par0115" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">Regarding other disease features, there was no agreement regarding fatigue, emotional well-being, structural damage on imaging tests, treatment toxicity and economic costs.</p><p id="par0120" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">Nowadays, the best available biomarker for the assessment of axSpA is CRP, which is useful in both monitoring disease activity and predicting radiographic progression.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0160"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">4</span></a> ESR has traditionally been used for the assessment of disease activity in rheumatoid arthritis and is part of the original formula of the DAS28 index, but the role of ESR in axSpA is limited.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0265"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">25</span></a> However, it is also possible to calculate the ASDAS score using ESR (ASDAS-ESR) when CRP is not available.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0220"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">16</span></a></p><p id="par0125" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">Outcomes such as physical function, quality of life, impact on the activities of daily life and on professional life indicate not only disease activity but also radiographic damage and other factors, such as comorbidity, that may also exert some influence in decreasing the functional status of the SpA patients.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0270"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">26</span></a> In this case, these outcomes would reflect not only the disease process, but also other factors related to the patients’ general health.
