- The natural history of ankylosing spondylitis(AS) remains poorly documented.
- The heterogeneity of the ankylosing spondylitis(AS) has made studies technically difficult.
- Documentation of the early course of ankylosing spondylitis(AS) has been limited by the lack of appropriate criteria to diagnose early.
- Modified New York criteria had played important role in the study of ankylosing spondylitis(AS).
