Summary

The goal of this observational study is to investigate the reliability of BASDAI and BASFI questionnaires applied via tele-assessment in axial spondyloarthritis patients.

Detailed description

Telehealth is the provision of healthcare services and clinical practices remotely through information and communication technologies. In recent years, the use of telehealth applications has increased worldwide. Telehealth is an umbrella term that covers practices such as telemedicine, telerehabilitation, and tele-assessment. Tele-assessment has gained importance in terms of monitoring patients with chronic diseases. Although BASDAI and BASFI have been shown to be valid and reliable in AS patients, there is no study in the literature examining the reliability of BASDAI and BASFI applied via tele-assessment. The aim of our study is to investigate the reliability of BASDAI and BASFI questionnaires administered via tele-assessment in axial SpA patients.
