ROC analysis determines optimal cutoff and doubtable interval of the Bath ankylosing spondylitis metrology index in a multicenter case control study by Genggeng Guo, Juanjuan He, Jianwen Liu, Xiaoye Yan, Meng Zhou, Chenmin Wu, Diantian Lin, Zhihan Chen, Qing Yan, Fei Gao, Zugang Xie, Feng Huang, Shengli Zhang

“…Abstract In clinical practice, the Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis Metrology Index (BASMI) score of healthy individuals is more than zero. However, the lower limit of the BASMI score range for patients with ankylosing spondylitis (AS) is 0, which is inconsistent with that observed in actual clinical settings. …”
