Core Tip

Core Tip: This study highlights the intricate associations between serum inflammatory factors, health index, and disease activity scores in ankylosing spondylitis (AS) patients with comorbid sleep disorders. Elevated serum inflammatory markers, including C-reactive protein, erythrocyte sedimentation rate, interleukin-6 (IL-6), tumor necrosis factor-alpha, and IL-1β, are linked to increased disease activity, while the health index is negatively correlated with disease activity scores. These findings underscore the complexity of managing AS patients with concurrent sleep disturbances and emphasize the need for comprehensive care strategies that integrate systemic inflammation, disease activity, and patient-reported health outcomes.
