Clinical noticeEducational support for axial spondyloarthritis disease-activity assessment only. Interpret with full clinical context.

Context and use

ASDAS-CRP = 0.12 x back pain + 0.06 x duration of morning stiffness + 0.11 x patient global + 0.07 x peripheral pain/swelling + 0.58 x ln(max(CRP, 2) + 1)

The displayed score is rounded to 2 decimals; classification uses the unrounded raw value.

If entered CRP is below 2 mg/L, the formula uses 2 mg/L and returns an explicit warning.
