Objective Using a longitudinal observational cohort of ankylosing spondylitis (AS) patients, we sought to identify progression rates and factors predictive of spinal progression. As a secondary aim, we analyzed the effect of tumor necrosis factor inhibitor (TNFi) treatment on radiographic progression.
