Background:Cohort studies using nationwide health registers have shown an increased risk for affective and anxiety disorders in people with ankylosing spondylitis (AS) and rheumatoid arthritis (RA) (1-3). Moreover, a nationwide cohort study demonstrated an increased risk for mental disorders in people with rheumatic diseases (4).Objectives:We aimed to investigate the risk for psychiatric hospitalization following a hospitalization for rheumatic disease.Methods:Using data from the Czech nationwide register of all-cause hospitalizations, we obtained 4 971 individuals hospitalized (index hospitalization) between 2004 and 2012 for rheumatic diseases - RA, spondyloarthritis (including AS, psoriatic arthritis and undifferentiated spondyloarthritis), systemic lupus erythematosus and systemic sclerodermia, with no history of psychiatric and rheuma-related hospitalization in the previous 10 years from the index hospitalization. On these individuals, we randomly matched (on age, gender and year of index hospitalization) controls that were hospitalized in the same time period for a non-rheumatic disease and have no history of psychiatric and rheumatic hospitalization in the last 10 years from their index hospitalization, in the ratio of 1:5. We employed conditional logistic regression for assessing the risk for psychiatric hospitalization in the subsequent 3 years from the index hospitalization. To strengthen our results, we repeated the matching step 100 times and run the analysis on each resulting dataset separately, and pooled the results. The findings are expressed as odds ratios (OR) with 95% confidence intervals (95% CI).Results:We identified an elevated risk for psychiatric (OR = 1.34, 95% CI = 1; 1.78) and for affective disorders (OR = 2.19, 95% CI = 1.17; 4.1) in people hospitalized for rheumatic diseases. We did not find a statistically significant association with organic, psychotic and anxiety disorders.Conclusion:There is an increased risk for experiencing a psychiatric disorder in the period of 3 years after a rheuma-related hospitalization.References:[1]Shen C-C, Hu L-Y, Yang AC, Kuo BI-T, Chiang Y-Y, Tsai S-J.

Abstract Background. Detection of ankylosing spondylitis (AS) in the preclinical stage could help prevent long term morbidity in this patients’ population. The aim of this study was to examine the prevalence of active sacroiliitis in first-degree relatives of AS patients using MRI with clinical and laboratory correlations as these patients may benefit from MRI screening and early treatment.Methods. Seventeen first-degree relatives of AS patients were recruited prospectively. AS screening questionnaires (Ankylosing Spondylitis Disease Activity Score, Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis Disease Activity Index & Visual Analogue Scale), blood tests (C-Reactive Protein, HLA-B27), and an MRI of the SIJs were taken. Two musculoskeletal radiologists interpreted the MRI scans, and two physiotherapists applied four symptom provocation tests (Gaenslen's test, posterior pelvic pain provocation test, Patrick's Faber (PF) test and palpation of the long dorsal SIJ ligament test), and two functional movement tests (active straight leg raise and Stork test). Results. Seven (41%) of the 17 participants demonstrated MRI evidence of active sacroiliitis. Of the 7 participants with active sacroiliitis, two (29%) had no history of recent low back pain (LBP), two (29%) had negative HLA-B27, and one (14%) participant had neither back pain nor positive HLA-B27. The Cohen's Kappa score for the interobserver agreement between the radiologists was 1.00 (p-value <0.0001). Despite fair to strong between therapist agreement for the physical test outcomes (Kappa 0.26 to 1.00), the physical test results per se did not have any predictive association with a positive MRI.Conclusions. MRI detected active sacroiliitis in 41% of first-degree relatives of AS patients. The lack of a history of prior LBP or positive HLA-B27 in active sacroiliitis participants might suggest that MRI screening for this high-risk population is warranted; however, further larger studies are needed to help elucidate its cost-effectiveness and long-term benefits.

The spondyloarthritides are a group of inflammatory rheumatic diseases with predominant involvement of axial and peripheral joints and entheses, together with other characteristic clinical features, including inflammatory back pain, sacroiliitis, peripheral arthritis (mainly in the legs), enthesitis, dactylitis, preceding infection of the urogenital/gastrointestinal tract, psoriatic skin lesions, Crohn-like gut lesions, anterior uveitis, and a family history of Spondyloarthritis. They are the second most frequent inflammatory rheumatic diseases after rheumatoid arthritis....

Low back pain is a leading cause of disability worldwide. The prevalence of inflammatory back pain (IBP) has been calculated to be in the range 8–15% in a UK primary care population and 5–7% in a US population-based cohort. IBP rates are significantly higher in patients with psoriasis, uveitis, or inflammatory bowel disease than the general population. There is a paucity of good epidemiological studies to define the true incidence and prevalence of ankylosing spondylitis (AS), axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA), and spondyloarthritis (SpA), with wide variation as a result of geographic, demographic and methodological factors. The global prevalence estimates range from 0.01–0.2% for AS, to 0.32–0.7% for axSpA and around 1% for SpA overall. The global incidence estimates range from 0.44–7.3 cases per 100,000 person-years for AS to 0.48–62.5 cases per 100,000 person-years in SpA. The demographics and natural history of disease progression are also discussed.

Abstract Objective To report the clinical results and surgical tactics of spinal osteotomy for ankylosing spondylitis (AS) kyphosis based on the experiences of 428 patients. Methods From January 2003 to January 2015, a total of 428 patients suffering from AS kyphosis who underwent a one- or two-level pedicle subtraction osteotomy (PSO) or vertebral column decancellation (VCD) osteotomy in our hospital were reviewed. Pre- and postoperative radiological parameters and the chin-brow vertical angle (CBVA) were measured. Intraoperative, postoperative, and general complications were recorded. Results All patients could walk with horizontal vision and lie on their backs postoperatively. The pre- and postoperative average global kyphosis (GK) angles were corrected from 82.6 to 12.7° (p = 0.000) in the two-level group and from 55.8 to 9.6° (p = 0.000) in the one-level group, respectively. The mean sagittal vertical axis (SVA) improved from 29.4 to 8 cm (p = 0.000) in the two-level group and from 18.0 to 4.3 cm (p = 0.000) in the one-level group. The CBVA improved from 68.3 to 8.2° (p = 0.000) in the two-level group and from 46.2 to 4.2° (p = 0.000) in the one-level group. Although no major acute complications such as death or complete paralysis occurred, the complication rate was 6.5% in the one-level group and 23.6% in the two-level group. Conclusion Spinal osteotomy, such as PSO and VCD, can improve the quality of life of AS patients as well as correct kyphotic deformities. The one-level spinal osteotomy showed a lower complication rate, while two-level spinal osteotomy was a relatively aggressive procedure that was more suitable in correcting severe AS kyphotic deformities.
