Sacroiliitis grading (New York criteria)
Updates to Article Attributes
Body
was changed:
Sacroiliitis grading can be achieved using plain radiographs according to the New York criteria41,2.
Classification
- grade 0: normal
-
grade I:
somesuspicious changes (some blurring of the joint margins- suspicious) -
grade II:
minimal sclerosisminimum abnormality (small localized areas withsome erosionerosion or sclerosis, with no alteration in the joint width) -
grade III
-
definite sclerosis on both sides: unequivocal abnormality (moderate or advanced sacroiliitis with erosions, evidence ofjoint5 -
severe erosions withsclerosis, wideningof joint space with, narrowing, orwithoutpartial ankylosis
-
-
grade IV:
completesevere abnormality (complete ankylosis)
