In 2004 an ASAS for the Assessment of SpondyloArthritis International Society decided to work to improve the criteria for classification of spondyloarthropathies to allow for early diagnosis, Nuclear magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). This approach led to the publication in 2009 of the classification criteria for spondylarthritis, in particular axial spondyloarthritis, as well as a proposal to modify the classification of criteria defined by Mr. Amor (AMOR) and European Spondylarthropathy Study Group (ESSG) criteria, taking into account the potential abnormalities visible in Magnetic Resonance Imaging Nuclear (MRI).
The performance (specificity, sensitivity, positive and negative predictive values) of the ASAS criteria was then prospectively tested on a sample of the Metropolitan Caucasian population and this systematic study allowed to estimate the performance of the ASAS criteria in the usual framework Of the French Liberal Rheumatology Consultation.
Note that this approach is exposed to a criticism of "circular" approach, indeed the expert who is the gold standard for the diagnosis, uses more or less consciously "criteria" based on the presence of such and such sign, then checks in this selected population the diagnostic validity of these signs.
However, no data on the performance of ASAS criteria are available in populations of African descent.
Historically, spondyloarthritis is considered rare in these populations in the image of human Leukocyte Antigen B27 (HLA B27) which is observed only in 0.3% of individuals. Its presence determines the appearance of sacroiliitis - the cardinal sign of the disease - which is therefore rare. The recent contribution of MRI has changed investigators point of view and makes it possible to make the diagnosis in frequent situations but more atypical clinically.
In practice:
The investigators propose to describe a population of Caribbean spondyloarthritis through a cross-sectional observational study carried out with a sample of rheumatologist doctors in three sites (Martinique, Guadeloupe, French Guyana). The methodology of the cluster survey of physicians, with a systematic evaluation of the first patients seen in consultation (chronological selection) provides the best guarantee of representativeness.
The interest of this work is to reproduce exactly the methodology of a previous work carried out in a Caucasian population, validated and published, and thus be able to compare the value of the ASAS criteria between the Caucasian and Caribbean populations.
