Clinical Characteristics and Treatment Options of Peripheral Spondyloarthritis by ZENG Lulu, JI Xiaojian, HU Lidong, HU Jiawen, ZHANG Yinan, ZHANG Jiaxin, LIU Xingkang, YANG Shiwei, HUANG Feng

“…A positive HLA-B27 was associated with an earlier onset age, fewer cases of psoriasis, and a family history of ankylosing spondylitis. pSpA patients had a higher proportion of using conventional synthetic disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs(csDMARDs), biologic disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs(bDMARDs), and oral glucocorticoids, and they also more frequently used a combination of bDMARDs and csDMARDs(19.0% vs. 12.2%, P=0.009) or multiple csDMARDs(65.8% vs. 12.5%, P < 0.001). …”
