@JointMD on AxSpA
SPEED study: roughly 1/2 AS have AxSpA, 1/2 have nr-AxSpA
Are they similar:
- Yes, but r-axSpA less F and more abnml CRP
= Low progression of nr-AxSpA to AS - only 26% progressed in mean 10.6 yrs https://t.co/Vwf5HaMcgu

Diagnostic delay in SpA
2.3 years longer delay in diagnosis in women with PsA.

Dr. Lihi Eder discusses the differences between sex and gender.
Sex is a biologically-based construct defining differences between male and female
Gender has socio-cultural aspects of being a man, woman, or other AND has effect on social norms/expectations

BASDAI tends to be higher in women while there is no appreciable difference in ASDAS scoring in men compared to women.
Dr. L. Eder believes this could be due to the pain scoring in both indices.

With regard to SpA patient journey:
On average, women are diagnosed 2.3 years later than men.
Additionally, women tend to have more visits to rheumatology to reach diagnosis of PsA, AS, and RA!
Remember your inherent bias along with sex/gender disparities.

My volume of referrals for OCI or degenerative disease (or sometimes completely normal SI joints) read as "sacroiliiitis" really does seem to have been increasing lately @lihi_eder @RheumNow #RNL2024 https://t.co/vksNCaADck

The different outcomes and response to treatment in males and females are related to sex differences in pain mechanisms and gender roles. Women report a higher BASDAI level, the ASDAS is equal in both sexes, Lihi Eder #RNL2024 @RheumNow https://t.co/7jjkgmmUg8

Picking the right tools to measure disease activity may be difficult because these tools may perform differently in men and women. The ASDAS show to differences between sexes but the BASDAI was significantly higher in women than in men. – Dr. Eder #RNL2024 @rheumnow https://t.co/KSBMrxio5P

Potential board question: be able to differentiate between osteitis condensan ilii vs sacroiliitis. With osteitis condensan, the SI joint is normal, with no irregularity, erosions, or loss of joint space. Sclerosis is predominantly on the iliac bone @rheumnow #RNL2024 @rheumnow https://t.co/mimcdoufEE

Dr. Eder on gender differences – we need to move from gender blind to gender specific approach to treating our patients. There are biological, cultural, and social differences between males and females. #RNL2024 @rheumnow https://t.co/gnzU6FKIPR

“TNFi, IL17i, JAKi--- note that these are the only classes of drug that work for axial spondyloarthritis!” – Dr.
@AlexisOgdie noted ustekinumab, apremilast, and abatacept do not work for inflammatory back pain.

Many therapies for SpA - but ONLY TNFi, IL17i, and JAKi for AxSpA
Check out https://t.co/V7JGc6t72C to help guide treatment decisions: Prior therapies? enthesitis? concomitant IBD/uveitis? comorbidities? Pt preferences? https://t.co/hfFikMs9YL

Thinking of joint, skin, axial disease in psoriatic arthritis and extra-articular manifestations leading to shared decision making, Alexis Ogdie #RNL2024 @RheumNow https://t.co/F57sEicht7

@AlexisOgdie discusses the current and expected future SpA therapeutic options.
However, and I also discuss this with my patients, we are more limited in AxSpA vs PsA (with axial disease.)
