Abstract
OBJECTIVE/AIM The aim was to compare the levels of physical activity, kinesiophobia, pain catastrophizing, body awareness, and depression in patients with Ankylosing Spondylitis (AS) and Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) and to explore the associations between these outcomes and disease activity. METHODS Seventy-eight patients with AS (n = 30) and RA (n = 48) were included. Outcomes were assessed using the International Physical Activity Questionnaire-Short Form, the Tampa Scale of Kinesiophobia, the Pain Catastrophizing Scale, the Body Awareness Questionnaire, and the Beck Depression Inventory. Disease activity levels were determined using the Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis Disease Activity Index for AS and the Disease Activity Score 28 score for RA. RESULTS AS patients were younger, had a higher proportion of men, and were more physically active than RA patients (p < 0.05). Both groups exhibited high levels of kinesiophobia but low levels of pain catastrophizing, similar body awareness and mild depression scores. Moderate correlations (r ≥ 0.5) were observed between kinesiophobia and depression, body awareness and pain catastrophizing and depression, and pain catastrophizing and disease activity in AS patients. In RA patients, moderate correlations (r ≥ 0.5) were found between kinesiophobia and pain catastrophizing. CONCLUSION Addressing physical activity, kinesiophobia, pain catastrophizing, body awareness, and depression is important in managing AS and RA patients. Notably, correlations among outcomes differed between groups, with more significant correlations in AS. Further studies are needed to explore these in greater detail.

Abstract
People with ankylosing spondylitis (AS) are vulnerable group to experience mood disorders. It is crucial to identify factors that contribute to depression and anxiety in order to improve outcomes. This study seeks to determine the rates of depression and anxiety in Syrian AS patients, as well as identify potential predictors for these conditions. This cross-sectional study was conducted using convenience sampling at the Biological Treatment Unit of the Rheumatology Department of the Damascus Hospital. Data were collected from face-to-face interviews with patients using validated structural questionnaire. A multivariate linear regression model was used to investigate potential predictive factors of depressive and anxiety symptoms. Of the 103 patients, 49.5% showed clinically significant depressive symptoms, and 36.9 % showed clinically significant anxiety symptoms. Multivariate linear regression indicated that depressive and anxiety symptoms were predicted by job layoff, hip pain, positive history of mental distress, poor quality of life, severe fatigue, and high frequency of sleep disturbance with relatively high explanatory powers. depressive and anxiety symptoms were predicted by disease activity scores but with low explanatory power. This study demonstrated high levels of that depressive and anxiety symptoms among Syrian patients with AS undergoing biological treatment. Poor quality of life, severe fatigue, and high-frequency sleep disturbances are major predictive factors for depressive and anxiety symptoms. Screening for depression and anxiety holds significant importance in the comprehensive management of ankylosing spondylitis even in the context of concurrent biological treatment administration.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES This study aimed to compare the health-related quality of life scores among rheumatoid arthritis, psoriatic arthritis, and spondyloarthritis and to evaluate socio-demographic and clinical determinantes of quality of life across diseases. METHODS The sample comprised 490 patients with rheumatoid arthritis, 198 with psoriatic arthritis, and 119 with spondyloarthritis who completed a series of health examinations and self-reported questionnaires. Quality of life was evaluated using the Short-Form 36 Health Survey, disease activity by DAS28-CRP, DAPSA, and ASDAS-CRP (for rheumatoid arthritis, psoriatic arthritis, and spondyloarthritis, respectively), depression and anxiety using the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale. ANOVA was used to compare the quality of life dimensions and their physical and mental summary measures among rheumatic diseases, and multivariate analysis was used to explore their potential determinants. RESULTS Rheumatoid arthritis had significantly worse scores than spondyloarthritis in the following dimensions: physical functioning, role limitation due to physical health, physical component score, and mental health. Psoriatic arthritis was not significantly different from the other two diseases. Multivariate analysis revealed that physical quality of life was mainly associated with disease activity across rheumatic diseases, rheumatological treatment and depression in rheumatoid arthritis and psoriatic arthritis. Mental quality of life is primarily associated with depression and anxiety across rheumatic diseases. CONCLUSION There were differences in quality of life among patients with inflammatory rheumatic diseases, but overall, approximately uniform factors explained the variance in quality of life across diseases. Clinicians should develop general approaches and strategies for inflammatory rheumatic diseases to improve patients' quality of life.

Abstract
The prevalence of ankylosing spondylitis (AS) and major depressive disorders (MDD) becomes increasingly pronounced, exerting a significant impact on the life quality of contemporary people. Although there is mounting evidence of a link between AS and major depression disorders, the specific interactions between the two have not been thoroughly investigated. To this end, this study aimed to check whether the gene expression profiles of patients with AS and major depression disorders overlapped, and whether there were any functional links between the identified genes via protein-protein interactions. Herein, the relationship between the 4 datasets (GSE73754, GSE98793, GSE25101, and GSE54564) chosen from the Gene Expression Omnibus for evaluation and validation was investigated using gene characterization and functional enrichment. Then, following Gene Ontology and the Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes that explore the biological processes of common genes and demonstrate the interrelationships between common genes, hub genes were obtained using the STRING database and the application cytoHubba plugin of Cytoscape software. The correlation between the gene and 22 types of immuno-infiltrating cells was explored, and the key gene as well as the diagnostic efficiency of the key gene was obtained through verification. A total of 204 shared genes were discovered, the majority of which were functionally enriched in Ribosome, Coronavirus disease COVID19, Starch and sucrose metabolism, and Galactose metabolism. Then, efforts were made to go through STRING. Immuno-infiltration studies revealed that Neutrophils, T cells CD8, T cells CD4 naive, T cells CD4 memory resting, T cells CD4 memory activated, and T cells regulatory were associated with the pathogenesis of AS and MDD. Additionally, the receiver operating characteristic curve revealed that the key gene MRPL13 played diagnostic roles in AS and MDD after intersecting 10 hub genes with 37 differential expression genes from the 2 validation datasets. The obtained results suggest an overlapping genetic structure between AS and major depression disorders. MRPL13 may provide key insights into the relationship between AS and MDD.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVE Depressive disorder is common in patients with ankylosing spondylitis (AS), who exhibit specific brain imaging abnormalities resembling those in major depression (MD). We compared temperament and character profiles between patients with AS and MD. METHODS The study involved 36 patients with AS, 40 with MD, and 36 healthy controls (HCs). The participants were age-, sex-, and education-matched. Depression, anxiety, temperament, and character were evaluated using the Temperament and Character Inventory and physician-rated Hamilton Depression and Anxiety Scales. Disease severity was assessed using the Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis Disease Activity, Radiology, Metrology, and Functionality Indexes; erythrocyte sedimentation rate; and C-reactive protein. RESULTS Depression and anxiety scores were highest in MD, lowest in HCs, and intermediate in AS (p < 0.001). Harm avoidance was significantly higher in MD and AS than HCs (p = 0.01). Reward dependency was lower (p = 0.011) and self-transcendence higher in AS only (p = 0.034). Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis Radiology Index was negatively correlated with depression (p = 0.020). Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis Radiology Index and Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis Metrology Index were negatively correlated with harm avoidance (p < 0.05). Disease duration was negatively correlated with self-transcendence (p = 0.027). Harm avoidance was correlated with depression score (p = 0.029). Patients under tumor necrosis factor α inhibitor treatment had lower cooperativeness score (p = 0.022). CONCLUSIONS Patients with AS had a specific Temperament and Character Inventory pattern. Harm avoidance was common in both AS and MD. In AS, harm avoidance and depression decreased in patients with progression, probably because progressive fusion of the spinal segments causes decrease in pain. Harm avoidance (fear of pain) seemed to be an acting factor for occurrence of depressive symptoms in AS.

Abstract
PURPOSE This study aims to investigate the effects of loneliness, perceived social support, and depression on medication adherence of patients with ankylosing spondylitis (AS). DESIGN AND METHODS This cross-sectional study was conducted with 119 AS patients. Data were collected using the Morisky-Green-Levine Medication Adherence Scale, the UCLA Loneliness Scale (ULS), the Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support (MSPSS), and the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI). FINDINGS Nonadherent patients were younger (P = .033), scored higher on the ULS (P = .015), and BDI (P = .024) scales, and lower on the MSPSS scale (P = .039) and on family support (P = .002). PRACTICAL IMPLICATIONS The biopsychosocial aspects of patients with AS should be managed holistically to improve their medication adherence.

Abstract
PURPOSE To identify predictors of low health-related quality of life (HRQoL) and depression in ankylosing spondylitis (AS) patients with a focus on gender differences. METHODS We conducted a cross-sectional cohort study. Both AS-related clinical data and contextual factors were obtained. HRQoL and depressive mood were assessed by EuroQol-5 dimension (EQ-5D) and the Center for Epidemiological Studies Depression Scale (CES-D), respectively. Gender-stratified multivariable logistic regression analyses were performed. RESULTS Among 211 patients, 161 were males. Males had similar disease activity and higher radiographic damage compared with females. There was no significant difference in EQ-5D index score between genders. CES-D score was higher in females. Higher ASDAS-C-reactive protein (CRP) was associated with low HRQoL in both males (Odds ratio [OR] 4.25, 95% confidence interval [CI] 2.42-7.46) and females (OR 2.94, 95% CI 1.02-8.48). Being employed was associated with decreased possibility of having low HRQoL in males (OR 0.39, 95% CI 0.16-0.95). Regarding depression, higher ASDAS-CRP (OR 1.87, 95% CI 1.03-3.40), current smoking (OR 2.98, 95% CI 1.09-8.15), and being employed (OR 0.17, 95% CI 0.06-0.46) were associated with depression in males. For females, living with a partner was related to depression (OR 0.08, 95% CI 0.01-0.93). CONCLUSION AS patients with high disease activity are likely to be suffering from low HRQoL. Both disease-related factors and contextual factors were associated with depression, and predictors showed some differences between genders. Awareness of gender differences in comprehensive assessment can lead us to better personalized management in AS patients.

Abstract
Spondyloarthritis (SpA) has been less well studied than rheumatoid arthritis in North Africa, due to a belief that it is rare and benign in certain populations. The main genetic trait of SpA is its association with human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-B27. The distribution of this allele largely explains the prevalence and severity of SpA. The prevalence of HLA-B27 in the general population of North Africa is estimated at about 4%, and rises to about 60% among people affected with SpA. Coxitis is one of the main features of North African SpA, but the response to treatment is comparable to the literature from the West. The major challenge in North Africa remains accessibility to specialized care and means of early diagnosis. Prevalent infections in North Africa do not seem to be a major obstacle to optimal treatment strategies.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Patients with ankylosing spondylitis (AS) have a higher prevalence of depression compared to the general population. Comorbid depression in AS likely has a multifactorial origin. While several disease-related and contextual factors have been associated with depressive symptoms in AS, a comprehensive model of their interrelations is currently lacking. Such a model could help understand the mechanisms leading to, or maintaining, depression in AS. The objectives of the current study were to determine which factors are associated with depressive symptoms in AS and to understand their underlying relationships. METHODS Data from a cross-sectional survey-based multicentre study were used. Potential determinants included both contextual and disease-related factors. Depressive symptoms were assessed by the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Subscale (HADS-D). Direct and indirect associations between risk factors and the latent depressive symptom outcome were explored using structural equation modelling. A final model was selected based on model fit criteria and clinical plausibility. RESULTS Among 245 patients, median HADS-D score was 3 (interquartile range 1-6), and 44 patients (18%) had a HADS-D score ≥ 8, indicating possible depression. In the final model, contextual factors significantly associated with depressive symptoms were male gender, being employed, lower income, lower mastery and worse satisfaction with social role participation. Bath AS Disease Activity Index (BASDAI) was the only disease-related factor that was associated with depressive symptoms, acted only indirectly via mastery, and its standardized total effect on depressive symptoms was smaller than that of several contextual factors. Mastery had a central role in the path diagram and mediated the effects of BASDAI, income and satisfaction with social role participation on depressive symptoms. The final model explained 64% of the variance in the depression outcome. CONCLUSIONS Both contextual and disease-related factors are associated with depressive symptoms in AS. Mastery, the extent to which one feels in control over life and disease, has a key role in this process. Results support a relevance of self-efficacy in disease management and patient education. In order to improve patients' mental health, research is warranted whether mastery and its relation with depression can be modified.

Abstract
Objectives This study aims to evaluate psychological disorders such as impulsivity, alexithymia, depression, and anxiety and to analyze the relationship between psychiatric disorders and disease activity, fatigue and quality of life in ankylosing spondylitis (AS) patients. Patients and methods Between May 2016 and January 2017, a total of 70 AS patients (30 females, 40 males; mean age 42.9±10.5 years; range, 22 to 70 years) and 56 healthy controls (27 females; 29 males; mean age 44.8±13.0 years; range, 21 to 70 years) were included. Demographic characteristic, laboratory analyses, disease activity, quality of life, functionality, fatigue, and psychological disorders were assessed. The Ankylosing Spondylitis Disease Activity Score (ASDAS), Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis Functional Index (BASFI), Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis Metrology Index (BASMI), Nottingham Health Profile (NHP) and Ankylosing Spondylitis Quality of Life (ASQOL), Fatigue Severity Scale (FSS), Beck Depression Inventory (BDI), Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI), Toronto Alexithymia Scale (TAS-20), Eating Attitude Test (EAT), and Barratt Impulsiveness Scale-11 (BIS-11) were used. Significant predictors for anxiety, depression and impulsiveness were evaluated using multivariate analyses. Results The BDI (13.88±8.99; 9.78±8.34), BAI (14.58±10.02; 10.53±8.99), and non-planning impulsivity (26.00±4.57; 24.28±3.77) scores were higher in the AS group than controls (p=0.01; p=0.01; p=0.02 respectively). Non-planning impulsivity was correlated with fatigue, social isolation, and depression (p=0.03; p=0.01; p=0.01 respectively). Multivariate analyses showed that fatigue scores were positively associated with non- planning impulsiveness. Conclusion Impulsivity may be one of the psychiatric disorders associated with AS, such as the more commonly known anxiety and depression. Fatigue is considered as a critical target for increased impulsivity.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to provide a summary estimate of depression prevalence among people with ankylosing spondylitis (AS) in comparison to those without AS. A systematic literature search was conducted using PubMed, Embase, PsycINFO, Web of Science, the Cochrane database library, China National Knowledge Infrastructure, and Wanfang Database from their inception to December 2016. The results showed that thirty-one eligible studies involving 8,106 patients were analyzed. Fifteen methods of defining depression were reported. The overall pooled prevalence of depression was 35% (95% CI, 28-43%), with high between-study heterogeneity (I2=98.8%, p<0.001). The relative risk of depression among people with AS was 1.76 (95% CI: 1.21-2.55, eight studies, n=3,006) compared with people without AS. The depression score [standardized mean difference (SMD)=0.43, 95% CI: 0.19-0.67, seven studies, n=549] was higher in AS patients than in controls. The main influence on depression prevalence was the sample size and country of origin. In conclusion, one-third of people with AS experience symptoms of depression. Depression was more prevalent in AS patients than in controls. Further research is needed to identify effective strategies for preventing and treating depression among AS patients.

Abstract
Axial SpA (axSpA) can affect diverse elements of an individual's life. The areas affected can be much more wide-ranging than the historical medical model of SpA, causing increased disease activity (pain and stiffness) and disability (reduced range of movement and physical function). A more holistic view of the individual results in the realization that many other areas of life can be adversely affected by axSpA, from the ability to work effectively and function socially, to effects on quality of life and the onset of worsening fatigue or mood disturbance. A good understanding of these areas outside the medical model allows for an improved understanding of the overall life impact of axSpA. This highlights the importance of understanding how to measure these elements of life using patient-reported outcome measures that can truly reflect an individual's experience of axSpA. These measures can then provide a better insight into the risks and benefits of interventions and medications used to treat axSpA.

Abstract
Background Depression is common among patients with axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA), but reports of its prevalence are highly variable. We performed a systematic review to (i) describe the prevalence of depression in axSpA, (ii) compare its prevalence between axSpA, ankylosing spondylitis (AS) and non-radiographic axSpA (nr-axSpA) cohorts, and (iii) compare disease activity and functional impairment between those with and without depression. Methods We searched Medline, PubMed, Web of Science, PsycINFO, CINAHL Plus, the Cochrane library and conference abstracts of the European League Against Rheumatism, British Society for Rheumatology and American College of Rheumatology using a predefined protocol in accordance with Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines. Meta-analysis was performed using quality-effects model. Results Fifteen original articles and one abstract were included for analysis; 14 studies described AS cohorts and two nr-axSpA. Three screening criteria and one diagnostic criterion were used to define depression. Prevalence ranged from 11 to 64% depending on criteria and thresholds used. Pooled prevalence of at least moderate depression was 15% using the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) threshold of ≥ 11. The prevalence of depression was similar between axSpA, AS and nr-axSpA cohorts. Patients with depression had significantly worse disease activity, including higher BASDAI by 1.4 units (95% CI 1.0 to 1.9), ASDAS by 0.5 units (95% CI 0.3 to 0.7) and ESR by 3.5 mm/h (95% CI 0.6 to 6.4). They also had greater functional impairment with higher BASFI and BASMI by 1.2 units (95% CI 0.6 to 1.8) and 0.6 units (95% CI 0.3 to 0.8), respectively. Mean age of each study cohort inversely correlated with depression prevalence. Conclusions Depression is common among axSpA patients and is associated with more severe disease activity and functional impairment. Identifying and managing depression should form part of their holistic care. Further longitudinal studies are needed to explore the impact of depression on treatment outcomes and axSpA treatment on symptoms of depression.

Abstract
Abstract
Axial spondyloarthritis (SpA) is a spectrum of chronic inflammatory rheumatologic diseases commonly presenting with symptoms of inflammatory back pain, peripheral joint pain, and fatigue. When compared to the general population, patients with SpA have higher prevalence of depression and anxiety symptoms. Poor psychological status is associated with worse disease activity, poorer functional status, poor treatment adherence, and unhealthy lifestyle choices such as cigarette smoking. The Chinese-bilingual Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) is a validated tool to screen depression and anxiety in patients with axial SpA. The cytokine theory of depression may explain emerging evidence on the mutually beneficial effects of antidepressants on disease outcomes and anti-tumor necrosis factor α (TNFα) therapy on psychological status.

Abstract
Background Psycho-immunology is an emerging branch of science which studies the interaction between the brain and the immune system. The purpose of this study is to identify the types of personality factors in patients with non-infectious uveitis and to find its association with a particular uveitic entity if any. This is a prospective, observational, case-control study of 186 patients with non-infectious uveitis (group A) and controls from general ophthalmology outpatient department (group B). “Global 5/SLOAN” personality questionnaire was used which is based on the five-factor theory of personality which describes personality factors based on the presence or absence of five primary dimensions, viz extroversion, orderliness, emotional stability, accommodation, and intellectual curiosity. Personality factors of patients from groups A and B were compared. History of present illness, clinical diagnosis, details of systemic ailment, and demographic information were collected. Results Group A comprised HLA-B27-related uveitis (n = 30), uveitis due to sarcoidosis (n = 10), Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada syndrome (n = 5), sclero-kerato-uveitis due to rheumatoid arthritis (n = 5), and idiopathic uveitis in rest. Forty-five patients with uveitis had associated systemic ailment. Uveitis patients (n = 56) showed positive personality trait: S (social), C (calm), O (organized), A (accommodative), and I (inquisitive). In contrast, the control group (group B) which mainly comprised patients with non-pathological refractive error and visually insignificant cataract showed more number of negative personality traits (n = 62): R (reserved), L (limbic), U (unstructured), E (egocentric), and N (non-curious). This difference between the uveitis and control group was found to be statistically significant (p ≤ 0.001). The difference was also statistically significant for O (p = 0.008), U (p = 0.004), and C (p = 0.022) with chi-square test. Calm personality was found to be significantly associated with HLA-B27-related uveitis (p = 0.002). N, S, and A traits were seen almost equal in numbers in both the groups. U trait was absent in group A, whereas I trait had negligible presence in group B. Conclusions Our finding of an association between organized personality type and uveitis and calm personality and HLA-B27-related uveitis warrants further studies to understand the complex mechanism of psycho-immunology in uveitis.

Abstract
PURPOSE The main purpose of this meta-analysis was to evaluate the impact of ankylosing spondylitis on the health-related quality of life assessed by the Medical Outcomes Short-Form-36 questionnaire (SF-36). METHODS A systematic literature search was performed on PubMed and Web of Science until January 22, 2016 to obtain eligible studies. Random effect model was performed to summarize the scores of each domain. The radar chart was used to compare the scores of AS patients with other health conditions. Spearman's correlation analysis and meta-regression were used to explore the related factors. STATA (version 11.0) and SPSS (version 13.0) were adopted in this meta-analysis. RESULTS Thirty-eight studies were included in this study, which were all reliable to summarize the scores of the SF-36. Pooled mean scores of the physical health domains ranged from 45.93 to 58.17, with the RP and PF domains being the lowest and the highest, respectively. Pooled mean scores of the mental health domains ranged from 47.49 to 62.52, with the VT and SF domains being the lowest and the highest, respectively. Besides, the physical component summary was lower than the mental component summary. BASDAI and BASFI were negatively associated with some domains of the SF-36 significantly. Patients with AS had a substantial impaired HRQoL in comparison with the general population. CONCLUSIONS AS could adversely affect the HRQoL of patients. Measuring HRQoL should be considered as an essential part of the overall assessment of health status of AS patients, which would provide valuable clues for improving the management of disease and making decisions regarding treatment.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Ankylosing spondylitis (AS) is a common inflammatory rheumatic disease. A higher prevalence of psychiatric comorbidities, including depressive disorder, has been proven in patients with AS. However, a clear temporal causal relationship between AS and psychiatric disorders has not been well established. We performed a nationwide population-based retrospective cohort study to analyze the relationship between AS and the subsequent development of psychiatric disorders, including schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, depressive disorders, anxiety disorders, and sleep disorders. METHODS We identified subjects who were newly diagnosed with AS between January 1, 2000, and December 31, 2008, in the Taiwan National Health Insurance (NHI) Research Database. A comparison cohort was constructed of patients without AS who were matched according to age and sex. All patients with AS and control patients were observed until diagnosed with psychiatric disorders, or until death or withdrawal from the NHI system, or until December 31, 2009. RESULTS The AS cohort consisted of 2331 patients and the comparison cohort consisted of 9324 matched control patients without AS. The adjusted HR for depressive disorders, anxiety disorders, and sleep disorders in subjects with AS were higher than those of the controls during followup (HR 1.718, 95% CI 1.303-2.265; HR 1.848, 95% CI 1.369-2.494; and HR 1.494, 95% CI 1.031-2.162, respectively). CONCLUSION AS might increase the risk of a subsequent newly diagnosed depressive disorder, anxiety disorder, or sleep disorder, but not schizophrenia or bipolar disorder. These observations highlight the need for psychiatric evaluation and intervention for patients with AS.

Abstract
AIM To evaluate the relationship between mental and physical health in Chinese patients with ankylosing spondylitis (AS) and to identify the predictors of psychological status. METHODS Patients with AS (n=103) and healthy controls (n=121) were surveyed between 2010 and 2011 (cross-sectional study). The Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis Disease Activity Index, Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis Functional Index, Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis Metrology Index, pain visual analog scale, Health Assessment Questionnaire, revised Self-Rating Anxiety Scale, revised Self-Rating Depression Scale, and Short-Form 36 questionnaire were administered. RESULTS The frequency of anxiety and depression in patients with AS was higher than that in healthy controls (P<0.001). Severe disease status and reduced quality of life (QoL) were associated with anxiety and depression. Disease activity and somatic pain were more severe in the anxious and depressed subgroups. Impaired physical functioning (assessed by Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis Functional Index) was higher in the anxious and depressed subgroups, while measures of spinal mobility (assessed by Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis Metrology Index) were not associated with depression. Lower QoL was observed in the depressed subgroup. CONCLUSION Low socioeconomic status, lack of health insurance, and fatigue contributed to depression in Chinese patients with AS. These patients may require a psychological care approach that is different from those of other countries.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The aim of this study is to evaluate psychiatric symptoms in patients with ankylosing spondylitis (AS) and to investigate the relationship of the disease activity, functional capacity, pain, and fatigue with psychiatric symptoms. METHODS Eighty AS patients and 80 healthy controls were included in the study. Spinal pain by visual analog scale (pain VAS-rest), disease activity by Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis Disease Activity Index (BASDAI), functional capacity by Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis Functional Index (BASFI), and fatigue by Multidimensional Assessment of Fatigue (MAF) were assessed in patients. Psychiatric symptoms were measured using the Symptom Checklist-90-R (SCL-90 R), Beck Depression Inventory (BDI), State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI), Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) and Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale (RSES). RESULTS SCL-90-R total and all subscale scores (except interpersonal sensitivity and psychoticism) and BDI scores were significantly higher in the AS group compared to control group. PSQI total and all subscale scores were significantly higher in the AS group. State anxiety scale score was significantly higher and RSES score was significantly lower in the AS group. Psychiatric symptoms (except Rosenberg Self-Esteem score) were significantly correlated with BASDAI, BASFI, pain VAS rest, and MAF scores. CONCLUSION Psychiatric symptoms are often seen in patients with AS. Disease activity, functional capacity, pain and fatigue were correlated with psychiatric symptoms but self-esteem was not. Therefore, psychiatric symptoms should be taken into consideration in the management of AS.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Type D personality was identified as an important factor that can explain the differences in clinical outcomes in various diseases. The aim of this study is to clarify the relationships between Type D personality and clinical status of patients with Ankylosing Spondylitis (AS). METHODS The scores of the Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis Disease Activity Index (BASDAI), Ankylosing Spondylitis Disease Activity Score (ASDAS)-C-reactive protein (CRP), and erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), the Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis Functional Index (BASFI), the 36-Item Short-Form Health Survey (SF-36), and 14-item Type D Scale (DS-14) were noted. RESULTS We found significantly higher levels of the BASDAI, the BASFI, and the SF-36 mental subscale scores in patients with Type D personalities compared to those who were Non-Type D (p < 0.05). The total DS-14 scores were found to be correlated with the scores of physical and mental subscales of SF-36, the BASDAI, the BASFI, ASDAS-CRP, and ESR (p < 0.05). In logistic regression analysis, the occurrence of Type D personality was found to be an independent predictor for disease activity of AS due to BASDAI and ASDAS-ESR (p = 0.016, OR, 95% CI = 2.98,1.23-7.22; p = 0.022, OR, 95% CI = 2.78,1.16-6.63 respectively). CONCLUSIONS Patients may over-rate self-reported measurements such as the BASDAI, BASFI, and SF-36 related to their interpersonal characteristics. Therefore, including the Type D personality, which is a stable construct in evaluating AS patients with brief and valid DS-14, may be noteworthy.

Abstract
This article aims to compare the risks of depression and anxiety in patients with ankylosing spondylitis (AS) and nonradiographic axial spondyloarthritis (nr-axSpA) and investigate the relationship among self-reported outcome measures, clinical parameters, and physical variables of patients with axSpA. Patients with axSpA were recruited from Erciyes Spondyloarthritis Cohort. The patients met Assessment of Spondyloarthritis International Society classification criteria for axial SpA and were assessed in a cross-sectional study design for visual analog scale (VAS) pain, Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis Disease Activity Index (BASDAI), Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis Functional Index (BASFI), Ankylosing Spondylitis Quality of Life questionnaire (ASQoL), and Ankylosing Spondylitis Disease Activity Score-C-reactive protein (ASDAS-CRP). Psychological status was evaluated using the hospital anxiety and depression scale (HADS). Multivariate logistic regression analysis was applied to determine the associations between psychological variables and clinical parameters after adjusting for confounding variables. Of the 316 patients (142 nr-axSpA, 174 AS), 139 (44%) had high risk for depression (HADS-D score ≥ 7) and 71 (22.5%) for anxiety (HADS-A score ≥ 10). HADS-D and HADS-A scores were similar between patients with AS and nr-axSpA. Patients with high risk for depression and anxiety had higher scores in BASDAI, BASFI, and ASDAS-CRP, and also poorer scores in VAS pain and ASQoL. Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that the ASDAS-CRP, ASQoL, BASDAI, as well as educational level were factors associated with the risk of depression whereas the ASQoL and educational level were factors associated with the risk of anxiety. Patients with nr-axSpA and AS have similar burden of psychological distress. The quality of life (ASQoL) and educational level were factors associated with the risk of both depression and anxiety whereas disease activity (BASDAI and ASDAS-CRP) was the independent risk factor associated with depression but not anxiety in axSpA. These findings suggest that psychological status should be examined while assessing patients with axSpA including AS and nr-axSpA.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To determine the prevalence of anxiety and depression in axial spondyloarthritis (SpA) patients by a psychiatrist using the Chinese-bilingual Structured Clinical Interview for Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, fourth edition patient research version (CB-SCID-I/P), and to examine the effectiveness of the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) as a screening tool. METHODS We recruited 160 Chinese axial-SpA patients to determine the prevalence of anxiety and depression using the CB-SCID-I/P. Recruited subjects were asked to complete the HADS. HADS, HADS-depression (HADS-D) subscale and HADS-anxiety (HADS-A) subscale were analyzed to determine their effectiveness in screening for depressive and anxiety disorders. RESULTS The prevalence of current major depressive disorder (MDD) and anxiety disorder were 10.6% and 15.6%, respectively. The full-scale HADS outperformed the HADS-D subscale in screening for current MDD (area under the curve [AUC] 0.889; 0.844) and all depressive disorders (AUC 0.885; 0.862) while the HADS-A subscale outperformed the full scale HADS in screening for anxiety disorders (AUC 0.894; 0.846). The optimal cut-off point of the full scale HADS for screening current MDD and all depressive disorders were 7/8 and 6/7, yielding a sensitivity of 82.4% and 83.9%, specificity of 78.7% and 74.8%, respectively. The optimal cut-off point of HADS-A subscale for screening anxiety disorders was 6/7, yielding a sensitivity of 88.0% and specificity of 74.4%. CONCLUSION The prevalence of MDD and anxiety disorder in SpA patients were 10.6% and 15.6%, respectively. We recommend using the full-scale HADS in screening for depressive disorders and HADS-A subscale for anxiety disorders.

Abstract
Ankylosing spondylitis (AS) is a complex systemic rheumatological disease which often causes severe disability and impaired quality of life (QoL). We searched the PubMed/MEDLINE electronic database for available literature on QoL and its predictors in patients with AS. Recent evidence indicates that AS patients have poorer QoL compared to the general population, but similar to that of patients with other rheumatological disorders. Disease activity is one of the most powerful predictors of QoL, however latest advances in pharmacological treatment (namely, anti-TNF-α) along with physical exercise can minimize the effects of AS on QoL. Psychological distress symptoms contribute to impaired QoL both directly and indirectly by influencing disease activity. The impact of other psychosocial variables, however, is less studied and more prospective investigations are necessary, which could eventually lead to the development of psychosocial interventions that are personalized to this patient population.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Ankylosing spondylitis (AS) is a painful inflammatory disease of the axial skeleton that can cause body image disturbance (BID) and may lead to psychological changes in AS patients. OBJECTIVE This study investigated the effect of AS patient physical and psychological status on BID and quality of life (QOL). METHODS Overall, 112 AS patients (84 males, 28 females; mean age, 32.8 ± 10.8) and 127 healthy age-matched individuals (control group; 78 males, 49 females; mean age, 36.9 ± 12.6) were screened for inclusion in the single-centre study. Multiple instruments assessing physical function, psychological function, body image, and QOL were applied. Multivariate stepwise regression analyses were used to determine factors associated with BID, anxiety, and depression. RESULTS Of 103 AS patients and 121 control subjects, AS patients exhibited greater BID-associated social function, social life, and role function impairments (BID Questionnaire [BIDQ] 2.42 vs. 1.02; 2.20 vs. 1.19; 2.54 vs. 0.72, respectively), lower behavioural avoidance (BIDQ 3.07 vs. 3.49), and similar decreases in vitality and mental health (p < .01). Impaired social function predicted anxiety and depression in AS patients. Disease status (daily activity, general health, and pain) and psychological status (BID, anxiety, and depression) predicted poor QOL (p < .05). CONCLUSION BID may play a significant role in causing clinical psychological dysfunction in AS patients, including anxiety and depression. Further research is required to fully assess whether these observations are similar in patients with variant AS severity. BID may be useful in clinical prognostic assessment and AS management. PRACTITIONER POINTS AS patients investigated in this study exhibited BID. There were significant relationships between the BIDQ, disease and psychological variables, and QOL. Disease status, BID, and anxiety and depression indicated a poor QOL.

Abstract
A growing amount of literature has explored mainly the role of depression (and/or anxiety) in patients with rheumatic disorders. We aimed at determining the prevalence of depression, anxiety, and their association with quality of life among patients attending a rheumatology clinic, focusing on data regarding concomitant psychiatric treatment. Depression, anxiety, and quality of life were assessed using the Zung Self-Rating Depression Scale, the Hamilton Anxiety Scale, and the Health Assessment Questionnaire, respectively. Overall, 514 rheumatologic patients were studied. Depression and anxiety were documented in 21.8 and 30.8 % of the population, respectively, and correlated significantly with quality of life. Only 13.4 % of patients with depressive symptoms and 12.1 % of patients with anxiety symptoms were receiving antidepressant or antianxiety medication. Given the wide therapeutic armamentarium available nowadays for the management of depression and anxiety, an increased awareness among physicians dealing with rheumatologic patients is warranted in order to integrate detection and effective treatment of anxiety and depression into the routine clinical practice. Special attention should be paid to female patients, patients with longer disease duration, and/or those with established disability.

Abstract
The prevalence of clinical anxiety and clinical depression in rheumatic diseases is about twice the prevalence seen in the general population. At a milder level, the occurrence of psychological distress that does not fulfil diagnostic criteria of anxiety and depression is even higher. Evidence indicates that this high prevalence is multifactorial. Correlational studies suggest that possible factors for anxiety and depression include the suffering accompanying somatic symptoms, functional limitations, pro-inflammatory cytokines, helplessness due to the uncontrollable, unpredictable and progressive nature of the disease, and other factors associated with having a chronic disease. This article reviews the prevalence and diagnosis of anxiety and depression in rheumatic diseases and it examines the contents and the impact of psychological interventions to address these difficulties for patients.

Abstract
We studied 54 patients with ankylosing spondylitis with questionnaire in order to determine their view on threat to quality of their life related to the disease. We have show that pain and significant disability are the main threats associated with the disease in view of the patients. Social aspects (losing of job or decreasing of income) are also important for the patients, while management of the disease is not considered as arduous. The results of patients' opinion may be helpful in designing of educational programs for them.

Abstract
The aim of this study is to investigate sleep quality in patients with ankylosing spondylitis (AS) and to evaluate the relationship of the disease parameters with sleep disturbance. Eighty AS patients (60 males and 20 females) fulfilling the modified New York criteria, and 52 age- and gender-matched controls (33 males and 19 females) were enrolled in the study. Sleep quality was assessed using the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI). Pain was measured by visual analogue scale. The disease activity and functional status were assessed by the Bath AS disease Activity Index and the Bath AS Functional Index. The Bath AS Metrology Index was used to evaluate mobility restrictions, and the Bath AS Radiology Index was employed to evaluate the radiological damage. The psychological status and quality of life were assessed with the hospital anxiety-depression scale and AS quality of life scale. The patients with AS had significantly more unfavourable scores in the subjective sleep quality, habitual sleep efficiency domains (p < 0.001) and the total PSQI score (p < 0.05). Poor sleep quality (total PSQI score) was positively correlated with increased pain, poor quality of life, higher depressed mood, higher disease activity and mobility restrictions. Pain was also an independent contributor to poorer sleep quality (p = 0.002). The sleep quality is disturbed in patients with AS. The lower quality of sleep is greatly associated with the pain, disease activity, depression, quality of life and increased limitation of mobility.
