AB  - OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the mean overall effects over a 1-year period of a 
      multidisciplinary in-patient rehabilitation programme for patients with 
      ankylosing spondylitis. DESIGN: Observer-blinded, randomized controlled trial, 
      with assessments made after 4 and 12 months. PATIENTS: Forty-six patients 
      received a 3-week in-patient rehabilitation programme and 49 patients received 
      treatment as usual. METHODS: Primary outcomes were disease activity measured with 
      the Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis Disease Activity Scale (BASDAI), and function 
      measured with the Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis Functional Index (BASFI). Secondary 
      outcomes included well-being, spinal and hip mobility, and health-related quality 
      of life measured with the Medical Outcome Study Short Form-36. Overall treatment 
      effects were estimated with Mixed models repeated measures analyses. RESULTS: 
      Significant overall treatment effects in favour of the rehabilitation group were 
      found in the BASDAI score (mean difference over the 1-year period -10.0, 95% 
      confidence interval: -3.7 to -16.3), in well-being (-7.3, 95% confidence 
      interval: -1.0 to -14.7), and in the Medical Outcome Study Short Form-36 
      variables social functioning, role physical, role mental and bodily pain (mean 
      differences ranging from 5.8 (pain) to 10.7 (role physical)). CONCLUSION: A 
      3-week in-patient rehabilitation programme had positive overall effects on 
      disease activity, pain, function and well-being, and should be considered an 
      important complement to medical disease management in persons with ankylosing 
      spondylitis.
