Description

Patients, diagnosed with spondyloarthritis, were identified through the healthcare system in Region Scania between 2003-2007. The cohort responded to two questionnaires, 2009 and 2011. The first questionnaire was answered by 2785 respondents (48 %) and the second was answered by 2037 respondents (58 %). The questionnaires consisted of validated instruments as well as separate issues (for example patient characteristics, demographics, lifestyle, physical activity, fatigue and pain, health-related quality of life, depression and anxiety, self-efficacy, work and issues related to health economics).

Purpose:

The aim is to create a longitudinal cohort of patients with spondyloarthritis and study the consequences of the disease on individuals and society.
