Spondyloarthritis & psoriatic arthritis
Frequency of Spondyloarthritis Symptoms Among US Patients With Inflammatory Bowel Disease: A Cross‐Sectional Multi‐Center Study
Authors' conclusion
A substantial proportion of patients with IBD have symptoms suggestive of SpA, and many of these may have undiagnosed SpA. The IBIS-Q questionnaire appears to identify more potential SpA cases than DETAIL.
