“…2 Questions or items that were not understood by 20% or more of the patients were analyzed by the multidisciplinary group with the aim of possibly modifying them so as to maintain the original objectives of the questionnaire. All the modified questions would be applied to a new group of 30 patients to check their understanding.…”

“…Axial disease was observed in 36.7% and axial involvement associated with peripheral and enthesis joints in 7.9%. 2 Like in many other rheumatic diseases, the social and medical costs are high. Indirect costs associated with days of missed work and lost productivity are the highest element of these costs, due to the large functional limitations caused by the disease.…”

CONTEXT AND OBJECTIVE: Ankylosing spondylitis (AS) generates inflammation and pain in entheses, peripheral joints and the spine. Education regarding AS can improve patients' disability. Thus, it is important to assess patients' knowledge. There is no instrument in the literature for assessing knowledge of AS in Portuguese. The aim here was to translate to the Brazilian Portuguese language, culturally adapt and test the reliability of the questionnaire "Ankylosing Spondylitis: What do you know?" and to correlate the findings with other factors. DESIGN AND SETTING: Original article regarding validation of questionnaire, produced at the Federal University of Sao Paulo (Unifesp). METHODS: For translation and cultural adaptation, Guilleman methodology was used. After the first phase, the reliability was tested on 30 patients. Correlations between these scores and other factors were examined. RESULTS: In the interobserver assessment, the Pearson correlation coefficient and Cronbach's alpha were 0.831 and 0.895, respectively. In the intraobserver evaluation, the intraclass correlation coefficient and Cronbach's alpha were 0.79 and 0.883, respectively. At this stage, the score for area of knowledge A showed correlations with ethnicity and education; the score for area D, with age; the total score and scores for areas A and B with "social aspects" of SF-36; and the score for area D with "pain", "vitality" and "emotional aspects" of SF-36. CONCLUSION: The Brazilian version of the questionnaire "Ankylosing Spondylitis: What do you know?" was created. It is reproducible and correlates with education level, ethnicity and the SF-36 domains "social aspects" and "emotional aspects". entre o escore total e escores das áreas A e B e "aspectos sociais" do SF-36 e entre a área D e "dor", "vitalidade" e "aspectos emocionais" do SF-36. CONCLUSÃO: Foi criada a versão brasileira do questionário "Ankylosing Spondylitis: What do you know?", que é reprodutível e se correlaciona com escolaridade, etnia e os domínios "aspectos sociais" e "aspectos emocionais" do SF-36.

“…5,6 The disease pattern varies according to gender, being more severe in men 7 and having a late onset in women, 7 who have a more signifi cant extraspinal involvement. 8,9 The prevalence of AS is 0.1%-1.4%, varying according to both geography and ethnical groups; however, there is a strong correlation between the prevalence of HLA-B27 and that of spondyloarthritides in a certain population.…”

“…[2][3][4][5] Anterior uveitis includes terms such as iritis (infl ammation of the eye's iris, with infl ammatory cells in the anterior chamber and no involvement of the anterior vitreous), iridocyclitis (primary infl ammation of the iris and secondary infl ammation of the ciliary body; infl ammatory cells present in both the anterior chamber and anterior vitreous), and cyclitis (infl ammation of mainly the ciliary body). Uveitis related to HLA-B27 are characterized by acute, unilateral recurring (affects each eye at a time) iridocyclitis of sudden onset, with a moderate to severe amount of fi brin and cells in the anterior chamber.…”

The present article reviews the epidemiology, pathogenesis, clinical features, diagnosis, and treatment of ankylosing spondylitis and its association with ocular changes. The authors used the PubMed (MEDLINE), LILACS, and Ophthalmology Library databases. Ankylosing spondylitis is a chronic infl ammatory disease that usually affects the axial skeleton and can progress to stiffness and progressive functional limitation. Ankylosing spondylitis usually begins around the second to third decade of life, preferentially in HLA-B27-positive white males. Its etiology and pathogenesis are not completely understood, and its diagnosis is diffi cult. Clinical control and treatment are frequently satisfactory. Acute anterior uveíte is the most common extra-articular manifestation, occurring in 20%-30% of the patients with ankylosing spondylitis. Approximately half of the acute anterior uveíte cases are associated with the presence of the HLA-B27 antigen. It can be the fi rst manifestation of an undiagnosed rheumatic disease, usually having a good prognosis and appropriate response to treatment. In conclusion, for better assessment and treatment of patients with uveitis, ophthalmologists and rheumatologists should work together.
