Abstract
We agree that it is "good to simplify clinimetry in chronic inflammatory joint diseases," as suggested by DiCarlo and Salaffi in a recent editorial1 concerning an article by Schneeberger et al, which showed that a Simplified Ankylosing Spondylitis Disease Activity Score (SASDAS) was similar to an ASDAS.2 We note that the very high correlations of the SASDAS with the ASDAS2 are largely predictable, as the 5 measures in the 2 indices are identical, albeit with weighting in the ASDAS, although confirmation is reassuring.
