Clinical Features and Outcome of Patients With Juvenile Spondyloarthropathy in a Tertiary Hospital in the Philippines
The JSpA in this cohort demonstrated substantial disease burden, with frequent axial and peripheral involvement. Although 43.2% of patients achieved clinical remission, sustained remission off medication was observed in only 10.2%, reflecting the chronic disease course. Early diagnosis and optimized treatment strategies remain essential to improve outcomes.
