Abstract:

Axial Spondyloarthritis (axial SpA) is an inflammatory arthritis primarily affecting the sacroiliac joints (SIJ) and spine and a spectrum of disease which includes the more commonly known Ankylosing Spondylitis. Axial SpA is often missed in musculoskeletal assessments and mismanaged/treated as chronic low back pain. Early diagnosis and intervention is essential to improve outcomes and so is it essential that people presenting with back pain are screened for axial SpA. This masterclass aims improve clinicians’ understanding and awareness of axial SpA, including screening, recognition and when to refer to rheumatology. This article will familiarise clinicians with typical clinical features, appropriate investigation and interpretation, referral pathways in line with NICE guidelines and advise on best practice for clinicians managing axial SpA.
