About

Spondyloarthritis (SpA) is a group of chronic inflammatory pathologies whose progression over time is poorly defined, and in particular the clinical and instrumental elements that can predispose to a condition of disease severity are not completely known. It would be important to have an idea of what the predisposing factors are, possibly already at baseline, and possibly also at follow up, of severe disease, so as to be able to act early with more aggressive and targeted therapies on these patients, so as to achieve remission.
