Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame
The primary objective of the CAFASPA-II study is three-fold 1.Validate the prevalence of aSpA in young patients with Chronic Low Back Pain (CLBP) 2. To estimate the prevalence's of axial SpA in patients with chronic low back pain in three strata of symptom duration (3 months - 1 year, 1-5 years, > 5 years of having CLBP) 3. To perform external validation on the recently developed referral tool for GP's to identify patients at risk for aSpA.	—

Secondary

Measure	Time frame
The secondary objectives are : 1. to estimate the additive value of the presence of "Red Flags" in patients with aSpA. 2. to get insight on the specificity (false positive findings) OF MRI OF THE SACROILIAC JOINTS IN PRIMARY CARE. 3. development of questionnaires that differentiate between inflammatory and non-inflammatory back pain in relation to the diagnosis of SpA will be compared with a view to creating a simple referral model for SpA that can be applied in the primary-care sector.	—
