Article Synopsis
- This study investigates the prevalence of axial spondylarthritis (axSpA) in young people with chronic low back pain (LBP) using the ASAS 2009 criteria, focusing on data from a university hospital in Buenos Aires, Argentina.
- Among 795 patients reviewed, the estimated prevalence of axSpA was about 5.78%, with a notable proportion (21.74%) of cases being undiagnosed.
- The findings suggest that the high rate of undiagnosed axSpA could contribute to the lower prevalence rates previously reported in Latin America.
