Summary: This study compared the clinical and radiographical characteristics of axial psoriatic arthritis (PsA) with ankylosing spondylitis (AS) with psoriasis. It found that axial PsA is predominantly HLA-B27 negative and has different manifestations compared to AS with psoriasis. There is great heterogeneity in the definition of axial PsA from a clinical and imaging perspective.

Summary: Isolated axial PsA and AS with psoriasis are relatively uncommon. HLA-B*27 positivity is associated with isolated axial PsA and may predict the development of peripheral disease. Isolated axial PsA is associated with better functional status. Isolated axial PsA appears clinically distinct from isolated axial AS with psoriasis.

Summary: This study compared the differences between psoriatic arthritis (PsA) and axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA). The results showed that there were significant differences between patients with axial involvement in PsA (axPsA) and patients with axSpA accompanied by psoriasis (axSpA+pso), regardless of whether it was clinically or radiologically defined.

Summary: This study included 4465 patients with SpA from 24 countries around the world, showing quantitative differences in peripheral manifestations among different subtypes but no significant qualitative differences. It was found that a high proportion of patients with SpA had both axial and peripheral manifestations coinciding.

Summary: This study compared the characteristics of patients with axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA) and psoriatic arthritis (PsA), and found differences in demographic and clinical features between the two groups, but a similar disease burden.

Summary: Peripheral involvement is common in juvenile-onset non-radiographic axial spondyloarthritis, and risk factors associated with progression to juvenile-onset ankylosing spondylitis include inflammatory back pain, buttock pain, enthesitis, elevated baseline CRP levels, and sacroiliac joint-MRI positivity.

Summary: This study aimed to assess the frequency and clinical features of uveitis in psoriatic arthritis (PsA) patients, as well as its association with disease activity, functional disability, and biological treatment. The prevalence of uveitis in PsA patients was about 5%, and it was associated with a worse quality of life and greater functional disability. The incidence rate of uveitis varied depending on the type of biological treatment used.

Summary: This study provides an integrated analysis of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACEs) and venous thromboembolism (VTE) events in rheumatoid arthritis (RA), psoriatic arthritis (PsA), and ankylosing spondylitis (AS) patients treated with upadacitinib. The results show that the rates of MACEs and VTE events with upadacitinib are similar to those reported for conventional synthetic and biologic disease-modifying drugs, and comparable to adalimumab and methotrexate.

Summary: This study investigated patient characteristics predictive of response to secukinumab in patients with psoriatic arthritis with axial manifestations. Nail dystrophy was identified as a predictor of response to secukinumab in these patients.

Summary: The study aimed to compare traditional cardiovascular risk factors among patients with different rheumatic diseases, and found that hypertension was the most common comorbidity, with patients with gout having the highest prevalence of traditional CVRFs. Significant differences in occurrence of CVRFs by sex were also observed among patients with PsA, RA and AS.

Summary: This study investigated factors associated with severe COVID-19 in patients with psoriasis, psoriatic arthritis, and axial spondyloarthritis. The study found that age, sex, comorbidities, disease activity, and glucocorticoid use were associated with the severity of COVID-19. Additionally, later pandemic time periods, psoriasis, and the use of TNFi, IL17i, and IL-23i/IL-12+23i were associated with a reduced risk of severe COVID-19.

Summary: Similar retention rates of the second and third compared to the first b/tsDMARD in RA, PsA, and AS support a differential b/tsDMARDs use strategy based on patient presentation. The risk of b/tsDMARD failure was halved in PsA patients, and covariates were not associated with the risk of bDMARD failure. The most common reason for switching was treatment failure.

Summary: This study found that the incidence of ankylosing spondylitis decreased between 1998 and 2007, then increased from 2007 to 2017. The rising prevalence may indicate improved patient survival. However, there is a persisting delay in rheumatology referral and diagnosis, particularly in women.

Summary: This study conducted a systematic review on the characteristics of gut microbiota in patients with Spondyloarthritis (SpA) compared to healthy controls, and found significant differences. Specific taxa-level differences were identified in different subtypes of SpA. The findings lay the groundwork for evidence-based microbial treatment.

Summary: The process of soliciting a minor's assent has moral importance, even if it is not always required by regulations. It allows the child's opinion to be heard and respects their development and involvement in research. The extent of the child's involvement depends on their age, experience, and maturity.

Summary: An increasing number of children with serious/complex illness are living with long-term prognostic uncertainty, intensive interactions with medical systems, functional limitations, and the use of chronic medical technologies that affect their quality of life. These families often face multiple medical decision points and rely on intentional and iterative discussions to guide their care goals.
