“…The observed differences in age, disease duration, employment and spinal mobility between patients with and without SGE were in line with indications from previous studies [12,13,18]. However, both the lower medication use in patients with SGE and the comparable health status between patients with and without SGE were surprising, as health status and physical functioning may deteriorate with age in axSpA patients, similar to spinal mobility [18][19][20]. It can be speculated that SGE participation prevented deterioration of health status and the need for analgesics, since previous studies have shown positive effects of SGE on symptoms, fitness and functioning [7,8,10,11].…”

“…Findings from previous studies suggest that only a small minority of axSpA patients engages in axSpA-specific SGE [12,16,17] and that this concerns relatively old axSpA patients [12,13]. This should be taken into account when providing personal exercise advice, as older axSpA patients, on average, have worse spinal mobility [18], slightly worse health status [19,20] and a higher risk of comorbidities [21].…”

“…In particular, we evaluated the associations with disease activity and functional indices. For this purpose, the variables of interest were categorized as follows: low (< 0.5 mg/dl) or high (≥ 0.5 mg/dl) CRP; inactive disease (≤ 1.3) or low/high/very high ASDAS (> 1.3), BASDAI ≤ 4 or > 4; BASFI ≤ 1.5 or > 1.5 [ 13 ]; BASMI 0 or > 0.…”

MRI Assessment of Extra-axial Findings at Pelvic Sites in a Group of Axial-SpA Patients

2021

Introduction: MRI allows a better evaluation of inflammatory and structural lesions of the sacroiliac joints and spine in patients with axial spondyloarthritis (axial SpA), so MRI plays an important role in the classification and diagnosis of axial SpA. The aim of our study was to assess extra-axial MRI findings at pelvic sites and their possible associations with clinical indices in patients with axial SpA. Methods: Axial-SpA patients who were classified according to the ASAS criteria and consecutively attended our clinic were assessed with pelvic MRI. The main clinical and demographic characteristics of all patients, including age, sex, BMI, presence of HLA-B27 and type of axial SpA (radiographic or nonradiographic), were evaluated. The main indices of disease activity and joint function were assessed, including BASDAI, ASDAS-PCR, BASMI and BASFI. Finally, the presence/absence of inflammatory/structural lesions at extra-axial structures (the hip joints, pubic symphysis, greater and lesser trochanters, ischial tuberosity, iliac spines and iliac crest) was evaluated. Results: 35 patients (21 males and 14 females) with a mean age (SD) of 47 (12.7) years and a mean duration of symptoms of 5 (2.1) years were enrolled. Hip abnormalities were found in 14 (40%) patients. Trochanteric enthesopathy/ bursitis and pubic osteitis were found in 2 patients (5.7%) and 1 patient (2.8%), respectively. No other abnormalities were found at other sites. We found significant associations between the presence of extra-axial alterations, disease activity and joint function. Conclusions: Our study demonstrated the presence of extra-axial abnormalities in more than one-third of patients with axial SpA, suggesting that MRI evaluation should be extended to the entire pelvis.

“…Secondary outcomes were (a) persistence of active disease (BASDI ≥ 4) and (ASDAS-CRP > 1.3) in adulthood; (b) fulfillment of adult SpA criteria (both ASAS axial spA [7,17] and modified New York criteria [18]); and (c) predictors and associations of poor outcomes in adulthood. Poor outcome was defined as presence of BASDAI ≥ 4 [19], or ASDAS-CRP ≥ 2.1 [7] or BASFI ≥ 0.9 [17] or HAQ-DI ≥ 0.5 [8] for disease activity, functionality, or disability, respectively. Statistical analysis Descriptive data were presented as the median and interquartile range (IQR).…”

Hip involvement in children with enthesitis related arthritis (ERA) is associated with poor outcomes in adulthood

Background The data on long-term outcome in enthesitis-related arthritis (ERA), the commonest category of JIA in India, is scant. Thus, we studied outcomes of ERA in a resource-constrained setting. Methods Patients with ERA (ILAR classification) (≥ 5 years of disease and ≥ 18 years) were included. Data on clinical features, Bath indices (BASMI, BASDAI, BASFI), ASDAS, and health assessment questionnaire-disability index (HAQ-DI) was collected. X-ray pelvis including hips was obtained and compared with baseline X-ray for progression of sacroiliitis and hip arthritis. Fulfillment of adult criteria of spondyloarthropathy (SpA) were also assessed. Results Seventy-three 73 patients (72 males) of median age 20 (18-23) years and disease duration 8 (5.5-11) years were recruited. There was delay in diagnosis of 4 (1.75-6) years. Thirty-nine (53%) had BASDAI ≥ 4 and 63 (91%) had ASDAS-CRP > 1.3. Two-third (60%) had functional disability (HAQ-DI ≥ 0.5). Poor outcome (BASDAI ≥ 4, ASDAS > 2.1, BASFI > 0.9, or HAQ-DI ≥ 0.5) was seen in three-fourths (n = 56.76%) of patients and was associated with hip involvement, HLA-B27 positivity, and fulfillment of axial ASAS criteria. Sixty-seven (91%) patients fulfilled axial ASAS criteria, while 71 (97%) fulfilled peripheral ASAS criteria. Overall, 81% had X-ray sacroiliitis and 37% had hip involvement. Nearly half (46.6%) and one-fourths (25%) of the patients had X-ray sacroiliitis and hip arthritis progression, respectively. Those with X-ray hip arthritis had longer delay in diagnosis (6 vs 3 years), higher Bath indices, ASDAS, and HAQ-DI. Hip arthritis correlated with radiological sacroiliitis (r = 0.301). Fulfillment of modified NY criteria was seen more often in patients with hip arthritis (95 vs 63%; p < 0.002). Conclusion Most ERA patients had active disease in adulthood. Hip involvement, axial involvement, and HLA-B27 positivity were predictors of poor outcome. Key Points• Almost 90% of adults with ERA had active disease even after 8 years of disease.• Poor outcomes were seen in three-fourths of patients and hip involvement, presence of HLA B27, and axial involvement were the predictors of poor outcome.
