Spondyloarthritis is a group of interrelated diseases, including ankylosing spondylitis, psoriatic arthritis, reactive arthritis, Reiter’s syndrome, inflammatory bowel disease arthritis, juvenile onset spondyloarthropathy and unclassified spondyloarthropathies. Ankylosing spondylitis is the original type of such diseases. They have something in common, such as family history, HLA-B27 related, clinical manifestations, sacroiliac joint, enthesis and ligament involved and so on. Although the pathogenesis of the disease is not yet clear, its criteria is gradually updated with the deepening of research on the disease. From Rome criteria to New York criteria for ankylosing spondylitis,we become more objective. From Amor and ESSG criteria to ASAS criteria for spondyloarthritis,we are more inclined to the early diagnosis and treatment of the disease to improve the prognosis. This paper reviews the evolution of criteria to analyze the discovery, awareness and research of the disease for early control and the improvement of the prognosis.
