Ankylosing Spondylitis: A Contemporary Perspective on Diagnosis and Treatment. (Semin Arthritis Rheum. 2006)

Are there gender differences in the severity of ankylosing spondylitis: results from the PSOAS cohort. (Ann Rheum Dis. 2006) "CONCLUSIONS: Among patients with longstanding AS, men have more severe radiographic changes; findings of treatment differences suggest that women may have more peripheral arthritis. At any given level of radiographic damage, self-reported functional limitations were worse among women."

Arthritis of the large joints, in particular the knee, at first presentation is predictive for a high level of radiological destruction of the small joints in rheumatoid arthritis. (Ann Rheum Dis. 2006) "CONCLUSION: Arthritis of large joints, in particular the knee, at first presentation is associated with a destructive course of RA."

Assessment of sexual dysfunction in male patients with Ankylosing Spondylitis. (Rheumatol Int. 2006)

Disease and psychological status in ankylosing spondylitis. (Rheumatology (Oxford). 2006) "Conclusions. Disease status scores in AS correlated significantly with anxiety, depression, internality and health status. Interpretation of AS disease scores should take an account of psychological status and the choice of measures used. These findings have important potential applications in AS management and monitoring, including the identification of patients for biological therapies."

Evaluation of hearing loss in patients with ankylosing spondylitis. (J Laryngol Otol. 2006) "Conclusion: Our findings suggest a decreased hearing level in ankylosing spondylitis patients, mostly at high frequencies, although the pure tone thresholds of patients and controls significantly differed at all frequencies."

Inflammatory back pain in ankylosing spondylitis: A reassessment of the clinical history for application as classification and diagnostic criteria. (Arthritis Rheum. 2006)
