Objectives: The primary objective of this study was to assess the impact of extramusculoskeletal manifestations (EMMs) and peripheral musculoskeletal features on first biologic drug survival in subjects with axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA). The secondary objective was to evaluate the impact of reasons for treatment discontinuation.
Methods: A total of 593 axSpA patients from the SpondyloArthritis Research Consortium of Canada initiating a first biologic drug were identified between 2003 and 2023.

Background: Lateral epicondylitis is caused by overuse and manifests as pain, weakness, and difficulty with object manipulation. Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) and dextrose injections have shown promise in reducing pain and improving function.

Objectives: Peripheral Sensory Neuropathy (PSN) is an under-recognized feature in systemic sclerosis (SSc). Moreover, SSc foot involvement is frequent but poorly investigated. We aimed to provide a detailed characterization of foot PSN in a large cohort of SSc patients, describing its associations with disease-specific features, physical disability, and Quality of Life (QoL).
