Background
Spondyloarthritis (SpA), the group of conditions that includes ankylosing spondylitis, psoriatic arthritis, and non-radiographic axial spondyloarthritis, among others, can lead to symptoms of pain, stiffness, and swelling. The burden of disease can affect patients’ quality of life.
Objectives
Patient research was undertaken to explore the impact of spondyloarthritis on quality of life, patients’ ability to manage the disease, as well as experiences with healthcare providers (HCP). Better understanding is crucial to improving HCP-patient interactions, helping patients to the right treatment path, and improving health outcomes.
