“…Hidding et al (16) showed in an investigation of agreement between self-assessments and clinical observations that the patients with AS ranked their disabilities slightly lower than the observers, while in the present study the patterns of disagreement between the patients and their therapists varied across the VAS. These differences might be attributable to pain experienced by the patient but not observable for the therapist, or to assistive movements observed by the therapist but not noticed by the patient, which has also been pointed out in previous research (16,18,20).…”

“…AS-specific tools for the assessment of disability have been described in international publications (17)(18)(19)(20). In 1988 Dougados et al presented a selfadministered questionnaire (17), which has been further developed into the Spondylitis Functional Index (SFI) (18).…”

The aim of the study was to investigate the reliability and the validity of the Swedish version of the Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis Functional Index (BASFI). A total of 113 patients were assessed with the BASFI, the Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis Disease Activity Index (BASDAI), the Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis Metrology Index (BASMI), and the Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis Patient Global Score (BAS-G). The median BASFI scores on two occasions within 24 hours were 3.6 versus 3.7 (p>0.05). The patients found the BASFI items relevant. The median self-reported and physiotherapist-observed BASFI scores were 3.4 and 2.8 respectively (p>0.05). The correlation coefficient between the BASFI and the BASMI was r s =0.55, between the BASFI and the BASDAI r s =0.68, and between the BASFI and the BAS-G r s =0.67. Significant improvements between the pre-and post-training results for both the BASFI (3.1 vs 2.0, p<0.001) and the BASMI (3.0 vs 1.0, p<0.001) were found after three weeks' inpatient rehabilitation. The results indicated that the Swedish BASFI is reliable and valid.

“…Demographic and diseaserelated information was collected, including age, sex, employment status, and duration of disease. Physical functioning was measured using the Revised Leeds Disability Questionnaire (19), a standard tool for the spondylarthropathies with established reproducibility and validity. It covers performance of daily activities within 4 domains: mobility, bending down, neck movements, and posture.…”

“…Questionnaires reflecting the patientsown views on their disease have been recommended (6) and increasingly used as complements to the traditional measurements. General questionnaires (7) and those specific for arthritis (8,9) or ankylosing spondylitis (10)(11)(12) have consequently been developed.…”

The aim of the study was to investigate the reliability and the validity of the Swedish version of the Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis Disease Activity Index (BASDAI). A total of 113 patients with ankylosing spondylitis were assessed with the BASDAI, the Swedish version of the Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis Functional Index (BASFI), the Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis Metrology Index (BASMI), the Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis Patient Global Score (BAS-G), and a questionnaire on their opinions of the relevance of the BASDAI. The test-retest stability investigation of the BASDAI over 24 hours did not show any difference between the two occasions (md 4.4, range 0.80-8.43 vs md 4.0, range 0-7.80, p > 0.05). The correlation coefficient between the BASDAI and the BASMI was r s = 0.07, between the BASDAI and the BASFI r s = 0.64, and between the BASDAI and the BAS-G r s = 0.80. Eighty percent of the patients considered the contents of the BASDAI to be relevant. The BASDAI, the BAS-G and the BASMI showed significant improvements after an intensive rehabilitation period. In conclusion the results of the present study indicate that the Swedish BASDAI is reliable and valid.
