Meanings of axial spa in English

Improvements were similar in both AS and nonradiographic axial SpA patients.

Additional research is required to determine combinations of concepts that will accurately identify axial SpA phenotypes.

Methods were developed for exploring, selecting, and extracting meaningful terms that were likely to represent axial SpA concepts.

Conclusion: We developed feasible and accurate methods for identifying axial SpA concepts in the free text of clinical notes.

Our objective was to develop methods for identifying axial SpA concepts in the free text of documents from electronic medical records.

These novel methods will facilitate previously impractical observational research in axial SpA and may be applied to research with other diseases.

Conclusions: This checklist for patients with axial SpA and PsA could help standardize daily clinical practice and improve clinical management and patient prognosis.

Conclusion: The diagnostic value of SpA features in patients with early axial SpA seems to be different than in patients with longstanding disease.

In this cohort, the contribution of MRI and human leucocyte antigen B27 to purely clinical criteria in making a diagnosis of axial SpA was limited.

Results: Of 775 patients suspected to have SpA, 665 had predominantly axial symptoms and 516 of these patients were diagnosed with axial SpA.
