Figure 4 Correlations between articular and gastrointestinal disease activity and HRQoL scores in the ES-AN patient cohort after adalimumab therapy. A: Evaluation data collected for the 30 ES-AN/Ada patients after 12 mo of therapy, showing correlation between gastrointestinal and articular disease activity in Crohn’s disease patients (assessed by CDAI) and ASDAS-CRP respectively, and between ASDAS-CRP and SF-36 summary scores (PCS and MCS); B: Correlation between CDAI and articular function (assessed by BASFI); C: Correlation between the gastrointestinal quality of life (assessed by IBDQ) and CDAI and SF-36/MCS. ASDAS-CRP: Ankylosing Spondylitis Disease Activity Score-C-Reactive Protein; CDAI: Crohn’s Disease Activity Index; ES-AN: Patients affected by ES in the Ancona’s cohort; ES-AN/Ada: Patients of the ES-AN cohort treated with adalimumab; HRQoL: Health-Related Quality of Life; IBDQ: Inflammatory Bowel Disease Questionnaire; SF-36/MCS: Summary of “Mental Component Score” of the Short Form-36 health survey; SF-36/PCS: Summary of “Physical Component Score” of the Short Form-36 health survey; Sf-36/PCS: Summary of “Physical Component Score” of the short form-36 health survey; PROs: Patient reported outcomes.
