• Initial treatment & treatment advances
• Comorbidities to remember
Diagnosis vs. Classification • Diagnostic criteria are
developed to be highly sensitive to identify as many patients with the disease as possible
• The value of diagnostic tests/parameters depends on the prevalence of the disease (pretest probability)
• Should allow for flexibility in diagnostic confidence (definite, probable, possible)
• Applied to the individual patient
• Classification criteria are developed to define a homogeneous group for the purpose of research
• High specificity to avoid misclassification
• No dependence of disease prevalence as patients are already diagnosed
• Applied to a group

Case !• 24 year old man with low back pain that started
7 years ago. He has seen several chiropractors and an orthopedic surgeon with ongoing symptoms.!
• Initially alternating buttock pain, worse in the morning with associated am stiffness lasting 60 minutes. Pain would awaken him from sleep around 3am. The pain is made better with ibuprofen and exercise and he feels almost normal by midday.!

Case
The patient returns to see you with a new diagnosis of AS. He is most bothered by the night pain and has 90 minutes of morning stiffness. A rheumatology appointment is scheduled for 6 weeks. He asks if you can prescribe something while he waits to be seen.
When I was an intern…!• Only drugs approved for AS were NSAIDs!• No biologics shown to be effective in AS!!
