A comparison of comorbidities and their risk factors prevalence across rheumatoid arthritis, psoriatic arthritis and axial spondyloarthritis with focus on cardiovascular diseases: data from a single center real-world cohort.

ABSTRACT: Management of comorbidities is essential to a patient-centered approach to the treatment of chronic inflammatory arthritis. The aim of this study was to compare the prevalence of comorbidities and their risk factors in rheumatoid arthritis (RA), psoriatic arthritis (PsA), and axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA) in a single center outpatient cohort. This cross-sectional study included adult patients diagnosed with RA, PsA, and axSpA from a single rheumatology outpatient center. Comorbidities were documented by physicians, and patients were categorized into two age groups, younger (< 45 years) and older (≥ 45 years), with age- and gender-based comparisons. Disease activity, comorbidities, and cardiovascular (CV) risk factors were analyzed using chi-squared tests for categorical variables and ind
