Abstract
Objective: A systematic literature review was performed to document published MRI lesion definitions and scoring systems for enthesitis in SpA.
Methods: PubMed, EMBase and Cochrane library databases were searched for original publications involving adult SpA patients undergoing MRI of axial/peripheral joints. Selected articles were assessed for quality using a standardised assessment tool and metric indices.
Results: Considering the heterogeneous nature, quality and outcome measures of studies, statistical data pooling was considered inappropriate. A qualitative narrative of results was undertaken based on study designs.
Conclusion: Lack of a comprehensive, validated score warrants additional research to develop an MRI enthesitis scoring system.
