Background: To evaluate the influence of the disease activity on radiographic progression in axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA) patients treated with TNF inhibitors (TNFi).
Methods: The study included 101 axSpA patients from the Spanish Register of Biological Therapy in Spondyloarthritides (REGISPONSERBIO), which had clinical data and radiographic assessment available. Patients were classified into 2 groups based on the duration of TNFi treatment at baseline: (i) long-term treatment (≥4 years) and (ii) no long-term treatment (< 4 years).

Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to analyze gender differences and the impact of time since disease onset in patients with ankylosing spondylitis (AS) using data from the Spanish Registry of spondyloarthritis (REGISPONSER).
- Researchers evaluated various aspects of 1514 AS patients, including demographics, clinical activity, and structural damage through standardized assessments like the Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis Disease Activity Index (BASDAI).
- Results indicated that men had an earlier onset and longer disease duration, while women showed higher BASDAI scores and familial patterns, highlighting significant gender-based clinical implications in AS management.
Background And Objective: Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is characterized by high cardiovascular (CV) mortality, which seems related to systemic inflammation. Our aim was to quantify carotid atherosclerosis in RA and its relationship with the disease.
Patients And Method: 73 RA patients and the same number of sex and age matched controls were enrolled, without history of cardiovascular events.
