Key Research in Axial Spondyloarthritis Encapsulated

David S. Pisetsky, MD, PhD  |  December 2, 2024

Our understanding of (axSpA) has really changed, especially with regard to male-female differences. In this report, we identify important research on axSpA presented at ACR Convergence 2024, summarize the abstracts and comment on why each is important, addressing the relevance for clinicians and the potential impact on future research.

Elmo, Merete Hetland, Lykke Oernbjerg & Mikkel Ostergaard  |  December 2, 2024

Hadsbjerg et al. compared assessments of sacroiliac joint MRIs in local MRI reports from routine care in five European countries with re-reads by central experts in patients with a diagnosis of axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA) or psoriatic arthritis (PsA) to estimate the extent of over- or under-reporting of features and misclassification.

Data Accumulate to Suggest HLA-B27 Status May Drive Axial Phenotype in SpA

Lara C. Pullen, PhD  |  May 20, 2022

HLA-B27 may be a phenotypic expression of axial spondyloarthritis (SpA), according to a large international study. The study found patients with axial SpA who were positive for HLA-B27 had more severe radiographic damage than those who were negative for HLA-B27, and three quarters of study patients with ankylosis spondyloarthritis were HLA-B27 positive.

Imaging of Axial Psoriatic Arthritis

Walter P. Maksymowych, MB ChB, FACP, FRCP(C)  |  May 9, 2022

The axial phenotype of psoriatic arthritis (axPsA) is an excellent example of a major controversy in rheumatology that has become the focus of attention because of the emergence of new therapies with different mechanisms of action for alleviating joint inflammation. It was first described in 1961 but, until recently, it has largely remained under the…

What to Do with Erosive, Inflammatory Osteoarthritis

Lara C. Pullen, PhD  |  February 17, 2019

CHICAGO—Is erosive, inflammatory osteoarthritis (EOA) a separate condition from osteoarthritis (OA)? Roberta Ramonda, MD, PhD, a rheumatologist at the University of Padova, Italy, spoke at the 2018 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting on the clinical presentation of EOA and how it differs from OA. EOA is characterized by a frequent aggressive clinical course and occurs most often…

How to Proceed When Kids Present with Joint Pain but Normal Exams

Susan Bernstein  |  January 17, 2019

CHICAGO—When it comes to correctly diagnosing joint pain in children, “things take time,” said Michael L. Miller, MD, quoting Danish physicist and poet Piet Hein. Children with pain but normal physical examinations may need to return to the clinic for repeat evaluation over several months. “I often tell parents that laboratory tests may help in…

Case Report: A Psoriatic Arthritis Patient with Dactylitis & Enthesitis

Samantha C. Shapiro, MD; Jemima Albayda, MD; & Ana-Maria Orbai, MD, MHS  |  September 20, 2018

A 36-year-old woman presented at the Johns Hopkins Arthritis Center for a second opinion regarding a diagnosis of psoriatic arthritis (PsA). One year prior to our evaluation, she had developed pain and stiffness in her hands, feet, knees, ankles, elbows and shoulders. She had mild plaque psoriasis of the scalp and base of the neck,…
