Abstract
Axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA) is a chronic inflammatory condition that can present with either radiographic changes or without. / Historically there was the requirement for radiographic changes, whereas the updated classifications incorporate clinical manifestations, family history, response to therapy, MRI, and genetic and laboratory findings. / Classification criteria have progressed in line with scientific advances incorporating the utility of MRI to identify inflammatory changes to the sacroiliac joint before radiographic changes. / The ASAS classification criteria are the most relevant criteria set that increase the scope and parameters. They have facilitated SpA research, including epidemiology, outcomes research, and treatment. / Clinical judgment remains the mainstay for diagnosis of axSpA. Physicians should not misuse classification criteria, avoiding their use before a clinical diagnosis is made.
