Proposed referral strategy for patients with low back pain. HLA-B27 = human leukocyte antigen B27; MRI = magnetic resonance imaging; NSAID = nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug; SpA = spondyloarthritis. Percentages in parentheses indicate the probability of axial SpA before (pretest probability) and after (posttest probability) a test has been performed. aSuspicions for SpA could be the presence of several other clinical features.
