Causes of Sleep Disturbance in Early ASAS Spondyloarthritis: A Retrospective Long-Term Experience.
J Pers Med
January 2025
Rheumatology Unit, Department of Clinical and Molecular Sciences, Università Politecnica of Marche, Carlo Urbani Hospital, Jesi, 60035 Ancona, Italy.
Sleep disturbance (SD) in the second half of the night due to inflammatory pain was included in the 2009 ASAS classification criteria of Spondyloarthritis (SpA), even though its definition is uncertain. We aimed to investigate SD in early-SpA (e-SpA) patients at T1 (2010-2013), comparing them to long-term SpA (l-SpA) patients at T2 (2023-2024) after at least 10 years of follow-up. At T1, in e-SpA and l-SpA cases, SD, classified as "difficulty in initiating sleep" (DIS), "difficulty in maintaining sleep" (DMS) and "early awakening" (EA), was compared to clinical parameters (ASDAS-CRP, BASDAI, m-HAQ-S, BASMI, MASES, 68/66 joint count, tenderness of sacroiliac joints, fatigue [FACIT] and HADS for anxiety [A] and depression [D]).

Methods: A survey of ASAS-HI was conducted on 82 AS patients from the rheumatology outpatient department of the First Affiliated Hospital of Shantou University Medical College. The Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis Global Score (BAS-G) assessed overall health status, the Ankylosing Spondylitis Quality of Life Questionnaire (AS-QOL) evaluated quality of life, the Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis Disease Activity Index (BASDAI) measured disease activity, and the Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis Functional Index (BASFI) assessed functional difficulties.
Young Onset Chronic Inflammatory Back Pain: A Diagnostic Dilemma Between Axial Spondylitis and Diffuse Idiopathic Skeletal Hyperostosis.
Mod Rheumatol Case Rep
January 2025
Rheumatology Department, Al Qassimi Hospital, Sharjah, United Arab Emirates.
Diffuse idiopathic skeletal hyperostosis (DISH) and axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA) share similarities in both clinical presentation and radiological findings, making the diagnostic process challenging. We report the case of a 30-year-old male with a longstanding history of back pain with an initial diagnosis of young-onset DISH. However, a diagnosis of axSpA was ultimately pursued based on his age and clinical presentation.

Unlabelled: Advancements in understanding SpA have greatly improved patient quality of life through early detection and effective treatment. However, non-specialist physicians often face challenges in identifying the early symptoms of SpA.
Aim: This study aims to assist healthcare practitioners in the early detection of SpA and to streamline management strategies by employing a standardized assessment protocol for adult patients with SpA.
Prevalence and Significance of the Presence of Anti-transglutaminase and Anti-endomysium Antibodies in Patients with Early Inflammatory Joint Disease.

Introduction: Celiac disease (CD) affects the small intestine, leading to a progressive disappearance of intestinal villi, and can be found in association with several other autoimmune and inflammatory conditions. The main objective of this study was to determine the prevalence and the clinical significance of anti-transglutaminase and anti-endomysium antibodies in patients diagnosed with early rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and spondyloarthritis (SpA).
Methods: We measured anti-transglutaminase and anti-endomysium antibodies in biobanked serum samples at inclusion in two French prospective multicenter cohorts of patients with suspected early rheumatoid arthritis (ESPOIR, n = 713) and spondyloarthritis (DESIR, n = 709).
