Ankylosing Spondylitis Statements Analysis
This solution evaluates the truthfulness of three statements concerning Ankylosing Spondylitis (AS) in relation to Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) patients, aligning with the provided correct answer.
Statement Evaluation
-
Statement 1: AS occurs in about 10% of Inflammatory Bowel Disease(IBD) patients
This statement is considered true. Research indicates a significant association between IBD (like Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis) and AS, with prevalence estimates often falling within the range mentioned.
-
Statement 2: The AS activity is related to Bowel activity in IBD patients
This statement is considered false. While a correlation between bowel inflammation and joint inflammation can exist in some patients, AS activity is not considered directly or consistently dependent on bowel activity, making this generalization inaccurate.
-
Statement 3: The AS activity does remit with glucocorticoids or colectomy in IBD patients
This statement is considered false. Glucocorticoids are generally not effective for AS remission, and colectomy (surgical removal of the colon) addresses the IBD aspect but does not guarantee remission of AS, which often requires specific treatments.
Conclusion
Based on the analysis, only statement 1 is considered accurate. Therefore, the correct option identifies '1 only' as the true statement.
