description | Purpose of Review
International guidelines for axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA) suggest that patients benefit from becoming members of patient associations. However, the scientific evidence for this is limited and unconvincing. The objective of this study was to evaluate the differences in sociodemographic characteristics, lifestyle habits, and patient-reported outcomes (PROs) between axSpA patients belonging to patient associations versus those who do not.
Recent Findings
Out of 680 patients, 301 (44.3%) were members of a patient association. A significant proportion of association members were found to engage in physical activities considered appropriate to their condition (48.2% vs. 39.8%,
p
= 0.03), and smoked significantly less compared with their non-association counterparts (22.7% vs. 33.6%,
p
= 0.02). In addition, despite having longer disease duration, and receiving similar treatments, members of associations reported significantly lower disease activity (BASDAI 5.1 vs. 5.8;

p
= 0.02). In addition, despite having longer disease duration, and receiving similar treatments, members of associations reported significantly lower disease activity (BASDAI 5.1 vs. 5.8;
p
< 0.001), less functional limitations (Functional Limitation Index 26.4 vs. 28.6;
p
< 0.05), and a lower risk of psychological distress (GHQ-12 4.9 vs. 6.5;
p
< 0.001).
Summary
The results of this study suggest there are beneficial effects of belonging to a patient association for managing axSpA, since those member patients experience better lifestyle habits and PROs than those who do not so participate. Rheumatologists should encourage patients to enroll in patient associations for a holistic approach to managing their condition.</description><identifier>ISSN: 1523-3774</identifier><identifier>EISSN: 1534-6307</identifier><identifier>DOI: 10.1007/s11926-020-00897-5</identifier><identifier>PMID: 32410101</identifier><language>eng</language><publisher>New York: Springer US</publisher><subject>Medicine ; Medicine & Public Health ; Rheumatology ; Section Editor ; Spondyloarthritis (MA Khan ; Topical Collection on Spondyloarthritis</subject><ispartof>Current rheumatology reports, 2020-05, Vol.22 (6), p.22-22, Article 22</ispartof><rights>Springer Science+Business Media, LLC, part of Springer Nature 2020</rights><lds50>peer_reviewed</lds50><woscitedreferencessubscribed>false</woscitedreferencessubscribed><citedby>FETCH-LOGICAL-c347t-774ad16c88ff830eb01b9be38999386edd371cbbf6834b4ecae24e115fa6de753</citedby><cites>FETCH-LOGICAL-c347t-774ad16c88ff830eb01b9be38999386edd371cbbf6834b4ecae24e115fa6de753</cites><orcidid>0000-0003-4007-4103 ; 0000-0002-4527-852X ; 0000-0001-6801-0836 ; 0000-0003-4109-8991 ; 0000-0002-7647-6289 ; 0000-0001-9727-1189</orcidid></display><links><openurl>$$Topenurl_article</openurl><openurlfulltext>$$Topenurlfull_article</openurlfulltext><thumbnail>$$Tsyndetics_thumb_exl</thumbnail><link.rule.ids>314,776,780,27901,27902</link.rule.ids><backlink>$$Uhttps://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/32410101$$D View this record in MEDLINE/PubMed$$Hfree_for_read</backlink></links><search><creatorcontrib>Garrido-Cumbrera, Marco</creatorcontrib><creatorcontrib>Chacón-García, Jorge</creatorcontrib><creatorcontrib>Navarro-Compán, Victoria</creatorcontrib><creatorcontrib>Gratacós, Jordi</creatorcontrib><creatorcontrib>Sanz-Gómez, Sergio</creatorcontrib><creatorcontrib>Collantes-Estevez, Eduardo</creatorcontrib><creatorcontrib>Atlas working group</creatorcontrib><creatorcontrib>on behalf of the Atlas working group</creatorcontrib><title>Does Belonging to a Patient Association Is of Help for Patients with Axial Spondyloarthritis?
