ObjectivesThe study was designed to evaluate entheseal sites and anterior chest wall (ACW) of patients with ankylosing spondylitis (AS) using ultrasound (US) and investigate the correlation between disease activity and US score.MethodsThis prospective cross‐sectional study included 104 patients with AS and 50 control subjects. Each patient underwent US scanning of 23 entheses and 11 sites of the ACW. The US features, including hypoechogenicity, thickness, erosion, calcification, bursitis, and Doppler signal, were evaluated. Disease activity was assessed based on C reactive protein (CRP), erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), disease activity score‐C reactive protein (ASDAS‐CRP), and Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis Disease Activity Index (BASDAI).ResultsThe most commonly involved entheses on US were the Achilles tendon (AT) and quadriceps tendon (QT). The most involved site of ACW was the sternoclavicular joint (SCJ). Compared with the control group, significant differences were observed in the AS group in the rates of US enthesitis and ACW in AT (P = .01), SCJ (P = .00), and costochondral joint (CCJ) (P = .01). Patients with high or very high disease activity had a higher erosion score (P = .02). The erosion score was weakly positively associated with CRP, ESR, BASDAI, ASDAS‐CRP, and ASDAS‐ESR (correlation coefficient: 0.22–0.45).ConclusionsThe most commonly involved entheseal sites on US were AT and QT, while the site of ACW was SCJ. The US assessment of AS should take the ACW into account. High disease activity might indicate erosion in AS.

“…In addition, there was no signi cant difference in the calci cation score between the AS and control groups in the results of the present study. This may be attributable to repeated biological force or aging, which can be seen in normal people [30,31]. Calci cation, ossi cation, and enthesophyte were sometimes shown as the same in US images, making it di cult to differentiate between them.…”

Background: An increasing number of studies have applied ultrasound (US) to evaluate enthesitis in spondyloarthritis. However, there is no clear agreement on which sites should be evaluated for enthesitis. Furthermore, there are different opinions on whether US can monitor disease activity. The objectives of this study were to evaluate the common involvement of entheses and correlations between disease activity and US scores in ankylosing spondylitis (AS).Methods: A cross-sectional, monocentric, and controlled study was performed. US was used to scan 34 entheses per person and the Madrid sonography enthesitis index (MASEI) score was used. US scores were used to evaluate the elemental lesions of hypoechogenicity, thickness, erosion, calcification, bursitis, and Doppler signal. Disease activity was assessed by Disease Activity Score–C reactive protein (ASDAS-CRP) and Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis Disease Activity Index (BASDAI).Results: 104 patients with AS and 50 control subjects were included. A total of 5236 entheses were assessed. Compared with the control subjects, only three entheses – the Achilles tendon (AT), sternoclavicular joint (SCJ), and costochondral joint (CCJ) – showed significant differences in the AS group (p < 0.05). Patients with high disease activity (ASDAS-CRP ≥ 2.1) had higher scores than patients with low activity (ASDAS-CRP < 2.1) in erosion (p = 0.02). Patients who were categorized in very high disease activity (ASDAS-CRP ≥ 3.5) had a higher score in erosion (p = 0.02). The erosion score was moderately associated with ASDAS-CRP and BASDAI (r = 0.44, r = 0.21).Conclusions: The commonly involved entheses were the AT, SCJ, and CCJ in AS. Erosion occurred more often in patients with disease activity or high activity. Erosion would be more useful for monitoring disease activity in AS.
