Objective[edit | edit source]
The Evaluation of Ankylosing Spondylitis Quality of Life (EASi-QoL) is a patient reported outcome measure developed by Haywood et al. [1]It consists of 20-item questionnaire assessing four domains of physical function, disease activity, emotional well-being and social participation.
Intended Population[edit | edit source]
The EASi-AOL was designed to use in people with Ankylosing Spondylitis.
Method of Use[edit | edit source]
The EASi-QOL is a self-reported questionnaire. Patient select an answer from the option that best described their physical function on the day of questionnaire administration. For the domains of disease activity, emotional well-being and social participation, patient guve their response based on their average over the past week. Each question scores from 0-4, and a lower score indicates better quality of life.
Single missing answer in a domain will be scored as the mean of the questions answered in that particular domain. The domain cannot be scored if more than one question is missing in a domain.
