Overview

The aim of this study is to evaluate the relationship between decrease in work productivity and social activities in patients with Ankylosing Spondylitis (AS) with disease activity, depression and quality of life together with demographic data.

For this study, which is planned as a cross-sectional clinical study, 100 patients who were diagnosed with AS between the ages of 18-65 and who applied to the Istanbul Physical Therapy Rehabilitation SUAM Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation Outpatient Clinic between April 15, 2019, and April 15, 2020, and 100 healthy volunteers compatible with age. was included.

Besides, if the patient group exists, laboratory results (CRP, erythrocyte sedimentation rate, HLA-B27), and bath ankylosing spondylitis functional index (BASFI), bath ankylosing spondylitis disease activity index (BASDAI), Bath ankylosing spondylitis metrology index (BASMI), visual analog scale (VAS) resting, night and activity values were recorded.
