#Eular2021 "Just because they do not have nonradiographic-AxSpa, it does not mean that the disease burden is less (compared to radiographic-AxSpa)!" Dr. Atul Deodhar @RheumNow

Crosssectional multicentre study clusters phenotypes of #spondyloarthritis differentiating two types: axial and peripheral, Fitted well to either diagnoses of ax-SpA or #PsA. Still overlap of features like arthritis, dactylitis and enthesitis exists. #OP0047 #EULAR2021 @RheumNow https://t.co/sru9bT4mla

#Eular2021: Is AS & nr-AxSpA the same disease? The current consensus is that they are the two ends of the spectrum -- same disease! @RheumNow https://t.co/r0fTtp3Uip

#EULAR2021 M:F ratio in nr-AxSpa is 1:1. The baseline features between r-AxSpa and nr-AxSpA is similar with equal burden of disease. @RheumNow https://t.co/tm9Y6OB5TY

Comparison of disease activity and PROs in AxSpA vs. AxPsA
⭐️AxSpA ⬆️ uveitis and IBD
⭐️AxPsA ⬆️enthesitis and dactylitis
⭐️AxSpA pts ⬆️pain, spinal pain PROs
⭐️Fatigue and work impairment did not differ in AxSpA vs AxPsA

In DESIR AxSpA cohort: only 25% of patients achieved remission at 5 year follow up!!! Lower SES and ^ weight were negative factors in remission. Abstract #OP0052 #EULAR2021 @RheumNow https://t.co/X4wN1wIGfX https://t.co/DKBIXmEmki

Female AxSpA pts report worse PROs but have better spinal mobility vs male AxSpA pts. Dz activity pattern similar in 4/6 BASDAI components regardless of gender. Females reports ^ fatigue, males report ^ spinal pain. Abstract# OP0051 #EULAR2021 @RheumNow https://t.co/U8T8JEWwCp https://t.co/yNP6PuA8PD

Differences in PROs found in CORRONA(now CorEvitas) PsA/SpA registry Ax-PsA and AxSpA patients. Can we better use PROs for disease characterization/differentiation? Abstract #OP0049 #EULAR2021 @RheumNow https://t.co/uHW2FQe0A5 https://t.co/HuPPUTAC9Z

Does it matter if you diagnose a symptomatic pt w/ nr-axSpA vs r-axSpA? (2/2) Interestingly there are smaller deltas between ASAS40 results in PBO vs nr-axSpA compared to axSpA vs PBO in MEASURE 2, PREVENT, COAST-V, COAST-X, RAPID, C-axSpAnd.

Many great presentations this week at EULAR 2021 will feature industry sponsored clinical trials and reports. Often these become the pivotal studies for regulatory approval and the annual congresses are their first look.
