Impact of gastrointestinal and psychological symptoms on disease activity and functional impairment in patients with spondyloarthritis: a cross-sectional study
This study highlights the association between GI and psychological symptoms with disease activity and functionality in SpA patients. Depression and perceived helplessness are prevalent and closely associated with high disease activity and GI symptoms, suggesting the need for interdisciplinary management from early stages to improve patient outcomes.
