Work Productivity in Active Ankylosing Spondylitis (AS) Patients Treated With Enbrel.

WPAI-AS is 6-question participant rated questionnaire to determine the amount of absenteeism, presenteeism, work productivity loss and daily activity impairment attributable to ankylosing spondylitis for a period of 7 days prior to each visit. It yields 4 sub-scores: work time missed (absenteeism), impairment while working (presenteeism or reduced on-the-job effectiveness), overall work impairment (work productivity loss or absenteeism plus presenteeism) and activity impairment (daily activity impairment). These sub-scores are transformed to impairment percentages (range from 0 to 100), with higher numbers indicating greater impairment and less productivity.

Time frame: Baseline

Population: Baseline analysis set (BAS) consisted of all participants enrolled in the study, who were seen at baseline and started the treatment with etanercept (Enbrel). Here 'n' signifies those participants who were evaluable for the given sub-scale items at baseline.
