ABSTRACT Background Physical activity is important in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA). Current literature suggests they engage less physical compared to healthy controls. Reasons for this discrepancy has not been well studied Asian populations. We aimed understand facilitators barriers RA axSpA using the validated Inflammatory FAcilitators Barriers (IFAB) questionnaire. Methods conducted a cross‐sectional study from 2020 2021 enrolled diagnosed...
Objective Residual confounding effects and disease severity attributed to controversial results in studies of psoriatic (PsD) mortality. We aimed evaluate the risk mortality incident PsD patients, compared a matched controls from population. Methods used nationwide, population-based insurance claim datasets Taiwan 2010-2018. Incident cases were identified by ICD codes. A non-exposed cohort was established through propensity score matching. Deaths via National Mortality Database. evaluated...

Methods A cross‐sectional study was conducted two tertiary referral centers Singapore. Patients axSpA who fulfilled Assessment Ankylosing Spondylitis International Working Group 2009 criteria for were included study. Socio‐demographics, clinical, laboratory and patient‐reported outcomes data collected during visits from 2014 to 2015. We performed...

Background Prior studies reported conflicting results regarding differences in Assessment of SpondyloArthritis (ASAS) Health Index (HI) scores between radiographic axial spondyloarthritis (r-axSpA) and non-radiographic (nr-axSpA). Country-level variations disease activity were also observed. Hence, this study aimed to compare the ASAS HI r-axSpA nr-axSpA Singapore, determine factors associated with poorer scores. Methods This was a cross-sectional evaluation baseline data from prospective...
