Pos0152 direct and Indirect Effect of TNF Inhibitors on Spinal Mobility in People With Axial Spondyloarthritis and the Mediator Role of Disease Activity
Abstract:BackgroundAlthough it may be difficult to detect changes in spinal mobility on the short term, spinal mobility is considered an important measure to assess the efficacy of drugs used to treat axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA). However, few studies evaluated the long-term impact of biologic treatment on spinal mobility.ObjectivesTo describe the long-term effect of TNF inhibitors (TNFi) on spinal mobility in patients with axSpA, and to determine whether the use of TNFi treatment influences spinal mobility, and if … Show more
