Understanding BASDAI

The Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis Disease Activity Index (BASDAI) is a validated patient-reported outcome measure used to assess disease activity in ankylosing spondylitis (AS) and axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA). Developed in Bath, UK in 1994, it has become the gold standard for monitoring disease activity and treatment response.

Very Low: 0-2

Remission-like state, excellent control

Low: 2-4

Below treatment threshold, good control

Moderate: 4-6

Consider biologic therapy escalation
