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 questions Q1, Q4 and Q5 (Q145) or Q2, Q3 and Q6 (Q236) and total score (BT) of the BASDAI, or a constant (-C3). ASDAS: Ankylosing Spondylitis Disease Activity Scores; original-ASDAS: ASDAS according to the usual formula [5, 6]; PASS: Patient Acceptable Symptom State; PASS physician: Physician Acceptable Symptom State; PhGA: Physician Global Assessment of disease activity; SMD: standardized mean difference; SPACE: SPondyloArthritis Caught Early; NOR-DMARD: Norwegian Disease-Modifying Antirheumatic Drug study; ASSERT: Ankylosing Spondylitis Study for the Evaluation of Recombinant Infliximab Therapy.
