Agreement calculated as a continuous score (ICC) and as a categorical variable (ASDAS disease activity states). The alternative-ASDAS formulae were calculated using as a replacement for PGA: question 1 (Q1), Q2, average of Q1 and Q4 (Q14) or Q2 and Q3 (Q23) or Q2 and Q6 (Q26), average of Q1, Q4 and Q5 (Q145) or Q2, Q3 and Q6 (Q236) and total score (BT) of the BASDAI, or a constant value (ASDAS-C1, -C2, -C3). ASDAS: Ankylosing Spondylitis Disease Activity Scores; original-ASDAS: ASDAS according to the usual formula [5, 6]; ICC: intraclass correlation coefficient.
