Axial Spondyloarthritis (SpA) is a chronic inflammatory disease of the spine associated with the gene HLA-B27. Non-radiographic spondyloarthritis (nr-SpA), an early stage of axial SpA often goes unrecognized in many settings including the Philippines. We describe five Filipinos from a tertiary health care facility who fulfill the Assessment of SpondyloArthritis International Society (ASAS) 2009 criteria for non-radiographic SpA with the aim of increasing awareness of this disease in the Philippines.

Patients with radiographic axial spondyloarthritis (r-axSpA) experience a higher prevalence of fragility fractures, though the pathophysiology of osteoporosis associated with this disease remains poorly understood. The objective of this study was to evaluate the histomorphometric data in r-axSpA patients. Male r-axSpA patients up to 55 years old were enrolled in this cross-sectional study.

This retrospective study analyses the impact HLA heterozygosity, supertypes, and alleles have on incidence of graft versus host disease (GvHD), relapse, overall survival (OS), disease-free survival (DFS) and transplant-related mortality (TRM) after HSCT. The study included patients who underwent HSCT, typed at allele resolution level for HLA-A, -B, -C, -DRB1, -DQB1, and -DPB1 loci. The analysis performed on the entire patient cohort (N = 232) showed that HLA-B07 supertype positive patients demonstrated decreased incidence of relapse, better OS and DFS in comparison to those negative for HLA-B07 supertype.

Introduction: The study aimed to identify and describe disease activity trajectories over 10 years in patients with recent-onset axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA) and determine their impact on long-term outcomes.
Methods: This prospective, multicentre study (Devenir des Spondylarthropathies Indifférenciées Récentes cohort, ClinicalTrials.gov NCT) followed patients with early axSpA for 10 years.
