The presence of these antibodies against novel peptides (i.e., peptides identified in an early axial SpA cohort from Hasselt University, designated UH\u2010axSpA) was determined by enzyme\u2010linked immunosorbent assay in 76 patients with early axial SpA, 75 controls with nonspecific chronic low back pain, 60 patients with rheumatoid arthritis, and 94 healthy controls from the UH cohort.

The positive LR for confirming axial SpA using antibodies to these 3 UH\u2010axSpA peptides was 2.7, which is higher than the LR obtained with the currently used laboratory marker C\u2010reactive protein.
