This study by Dr. UGazel et al shows that cervical DISH in SpA is similar to the general population. Of note, HLAB27+ axSpA pts had more DISH while PsA pts had DISH if they were HLaB27(-) @RheumNow #ACR24 abs1447 https://t.co/GtcvxVSb8B

A systematic review reveals significant sex-related differences in efficacy and safety outcomes in axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA) trials. Males show higher response rates to advanced therapies compared to females. Out of 79 RCTs, only a fraction reported sex-disaggregated data.… https://t.co/dkMRK4ZYHF

Dietary changes are intermittent fasting are common in axial spondylarthritis (axSpA) patients, possibly reducing inflammation. A study found 55% currently on a diet and 31% fasting. Many believe these practices improve disease activity. Abstr#1459 #diet #axSpA @RheumNow #ACR24

The post hoc analysis of the SURPASS study evaluated predictors of radiographic spinal progression in axial spondyloarthritis patients treated with IL-17A (secukinumab) or TNF inhibitors over 2 years.
