Surface Topography and Radiographic Spinal Damage in Radiographic Axial Spondyloarthritis

2026年9月28日 更新者:Seyma Alkan、Ankara Etlik City Hospital

Association Between Static Spinal Posture Assessed by Surface Topography (DIERS) and Radiographic Structural Damage (mSASSS) in Radiographic Axial Spondyloarthritis: A Cross-Sectional Study

Radiographic axial spondyloarthritis (r-axSpA) causes progressive structural damage of the spine, conventionally quantified on lateral cervical and lumbar radiographs using the modified Stoke Ankylosing Spondylitis Spine Score (mSASSS). Repeated radiography entails cumulative radiation exposure, substantial inter-reader variability and low sensitivity in early disease. DIERS Formetric 4D surface topography provides radiation-free three-dimensional modelling of the spine and pelvis. The association between sagittal balance and structural damage has been demonstrated with a radiation-based system (EOS), but whether a radiation-free topographic method reflects the same association has not been investigated.

This single-centre, cross-sectional observational study will enrol 53 adults with r-axSpA fulfilling the ASAS criteria with radiographic sacroiliitis according to the modified New York criteria. At a single study visit, static DIERS Formetric 4D measurements, chest expansion, BASMI, BASDAI, BASFI and ASDAS-CRP are obtained. mSASSS is scored by two independent readers, blinded to clinical and topographic data, on existing lateral cervical and lumbar radiographs obtained within the preceding 12 months; no additional radiographs are performed for the study. The primary analysis is the correlation between total mSASSS and the DIERS fleche cervicale (cervical sagittal anterior displacement).

調査の概要

詳細な説明

Design: single-centre, cross-sectional, non-interventional correlation study in a single patient group; no control group. All participant data are collected in one assessment session lasting approximately 45 to 60 minutes.

Measurements: (a) demographic and anthropometric data; (b) disease duration, age at symptom onset, comorbidities, extra-articular involvement (uveitis, inflammatory bowel disease, psoriasis), HLA-B27 status, current medication category; (c) radiographic sacroiliitis grade according to the modified New York criteria and mSASSS (range 0 to 72), scored independently by two blinded readers with inter-reader agreement reported as the intraclass correlation coefficient; (d) chest expansion; (e) BASDAI, BASFI and ASDAS-CRP, the latter using routine C-reactive protein values with no additional blood sampling; (f) BASMI total score and its five components; (g) DIERS Formetric 4D static parameters: fleche cervicale (cervical sagittal anterior displacement, mm), sagittal imbalance (mm and degrees), coronal imbalance (mm), pelvic obliquity (mm), pelvic torsion (degrees), cervical and lumbar depth distance (mm), kyphotic angle (degrees) and lordotic angle (degrees).

Statistical analysis: distribution is assessed with the Shapiro-Wilk test. The primary analysis is a Pearson or Spearman correlation between total mSASSS and fleche cervicale, reported with effect size and 95% confidence interval, followed by multiple linear regression adjusted for age and disease duration. Secondary analyses comprise correlations of DIERS parameters with clinical indices and an exploratory receiver operating characteristic analysis of the ability of DIERS sagittal parameters to predict prespecified mSASSS thresholds. The Benjamini-Hochberg procedure is applied to correct for multiple comparisons. Significance is set at p<0.05. Analyses are performed with IBM SPSS version 23 or later.

Sample size: calculated with G*Power 3.1.9 for a bivariate normal correlation model, two-tailed, rho H0 = 0, expected effect size r = 0.40, alpha = 0.05 and power = 0.85, giving a required sample of 53 participants (actual power 0.857). The effect size was set conservatively at r = 0.40 rather than the r = 0.61 reported by Wanders et al.

(2005) for occiput-to-wall distance versus mSASSS, because DIERS parameters are not identical to clinical mobility measures.

Reporting follows the STROBE statement.

Adults aged 18 to 65 years with radiographic axial spondyloarthritis fulfilling the ASAS classification criteria with radiographic sacroiliitis according to the modified New York criteria, attending the spondyloarthritis outpatient clinic. All participants undergo a single assessment session including static DIERS Formetric 4D surface topography, clinical indices (BASDAI, BASFI, BASMI, ASDAS-CRP) and chest expansion. mSASSS is scored on existing lateral cervical and lumbar radiographs obtained within the preceding 12 months; no additional radiographs are taken.
