The concept of spondyloarthritis (SpA) encompasses a series of entities that share clinical and imaging characteristics and a common genetic basis. These diseases can affect 0.20 to 1.6% of the general population, limiting functioning and affecting the quality of life of patients. Considering the patient perspective in the management of the disease and ensuring patients are sufficiently prepared to participate in decisionmaking is critical to treatment success as well as for optimal health outcomes. The overall picture of impairments, limitations, and restrictions in activities or social participation of patients with SpA is not adequately assessed in SpA-specific instruments. Therefore, it is quite relevant to measure the broader range of impairments that can affect SpA patients and integrate these into one measure of overall functioning in daily life. The Assessment of SpondyloArthritis international Society-Health Index (ASAS HI) is a recently introduced health instrument for evaluating SpA based on the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health, also known as ICF, that could cover a good part of the health metric needs in SpA. This review addresses its origins, its measurement properties, its use in routine clinical practice, as well as its prospects for future use.

ASAS 健康指数：脊柱关节炎健康影响评估的新时代。

脊柱关节炎 (SpA) 的概念包括一系列具有共同临床和影像学特征以及共同遗传基础的实体。这些疾病可影响 0.20% 至 1.6% 的普通人群，限制功能并影响患者的生活质量。在疾病管理中考虑患者的观点并确保患者为参与决策做好充分准备对于治疗成功和最佳健康结果至关重要。SpA 患者在活动或社会参与方面的损害、限制和限制的总体情况在 SpA 特定工具中没有得到充分评估。所以，测量可能影响 SpA 患者的更广泛的损伤范围并将这些损伤整合到日常生活中的整体功能测量中是非常相关的。脊柱关节炎国际社会健康指数评估 (ASAS HI) 是最近推出的一种健康工具，用于根据国际功能、残疾和健康分类（也称为 ICF）评估 SpA，它可以涵盖大部分健康指标需求在水疗中心。这篇综述讨论了它的起源、测量特性、在常规临床实践中的应用以及未来使用的前景。也称为 ICF，可以覆盖 SpA 中大部分健康指标需求。这篇综述讨论了它的起源、测量特性、在常规临床实践中的应用以及未来使用的前景。也称为 ICF，可以覆盖 SpA 中大部分健康指标需求。这篇综述讨论了它的起源、测量特性、在常规临床实践中的应用以及未来使用的前景。
