-The prevalence rate of hip involvement in AS patients varies from 10 to 23%, depending on the type of hip assessment. TNF-α blocking therapy significantly improved tender hip joints, and inflammatory US lesions including positive power Doppler.   (({{pubmed>long:30624693}}))+The prevalence rate of hip involvement in AS patients varies from 10 to 23%, depending on the type of hip assessment.

 Patients with ankylosing spondylitis (AS) warrant a comprehensive clinical assessment because of the lack of biomarkers of disease activity, prognosis and response to biologic therapy. Multiple AS-related questionnaires have been developed to assess the disease status accurately, but feasibility remains a problem in clinical practice.  Patients with ankylosing spondylitis (AS) warrant a comprehensive clinical assessment because of the lack of biomarkers of disease activity, prognosis and response to biologic therapy.
