Axial Spondyloarthritis in Black Americans: An Observational Study From Five Centers in Shelby County, Tennessee
A significant proportion of patients with axSpA in Shelby County were Black Americans. The study identified that Black Americans have more odds of having advanced sacroiliitis on x-rays, more hip involvement, and higher markers of inflammation. It also showed that, regardless of race or ethnicity, there is a significant diagnostic delay.
