Achieving inactive disease state in men and women with axial spondyloarthritis: results from a multi-country prospective observational study.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

To assess the probability of achieving low disease activity (LDA) and inactive disease (ID) in men vs women with recently diagnosed axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA).

Methods

This 1-year post-hoc analysis of the PROOF study assessed patients with recently diagnosed (≤12 months) axSpA. Patients were classified as having radiographic (r) or non-radiographic (nr) axSpA using central radiograph readings. Demographics, disease characteristics, and treatment were assessed at baseline and annually thereafter. Disease activity at 1 year was assessed by Axial Spondyloarthritis Disease Activity Score (ASDAS).

Results

1385 patients with baseline and year 1 data were included. Patients were classified as having nr-axSpA (n = 477 [34%]; 47% men) or r-axSpA (n = 908 [66%];
