To record the data of Ankylosing Spondylitis Disease Activity Score with ESR.

Use to record data for ASDAS-ESR. The score is based on five parameters: Back pain, duration of morning stiffness, patient global assessment of disease activity, peripheral pain/swelling and ESR (Erythrocyte sedimentation rate). Other than ESR, all values are self-reported by the patient and therefore subjective. All variables, except ESR, should be graded on a scale of 0 (least severe) to 10 (most severe). The score is calculated from: ASDAS-ESR = (0.08 x back pain) + (0.07 x duration of morning stiffness) + (0.11 x patient global assessment of disease activity) + (0.09 x Peripheral pain/swelling) + (0.29 x √(ESR)).
