Disease characteristics, co-morbidities and treatment response in a contemporary axial spondyloarthritis cohort: Analysis of 717 patients from the Greek AxSpA registry
In this sizable contemporary AxSpA cohort, one third of patients still miss treatment targets. Additional to cardiovascular risk factors, depression and osteoporosis are considerably prevalent. Smoking predicts a higher ASDAS, while HLA B27 positivity predicts syndesmophyte formation, but also better ASDAS responses.
