Association between individual and country-level socioeconomic factors and work participation in spondyloarthritis including psoriatic arthritis: Analysis of the ASAS-perSpA study

Seminars in Arthritis and Rheumatism Jun 14, 2021

Zhao SS, Nikiphorou E, Boonen A, et al. - The present study was conducted to explore if correlations between socioeconomic factors and work outcomes in spondyloarthritis (SpA) differ across axial (axSpA), peripheral SpA (pSpA) and psoriatic arthritis (PsA), and whether relationships for individual-level socioeconomic factors are modified by country-level factors. Researchers enrolled individuals with a physician diagnosis of SpA within working age. The study enrolled a total of 3,835 patients (mean age 42 years, 61% males) from 23 countries worldwide (66% axSpA, 10% pSpA, 23% PsA). This study’s findings demonstrate that higher educational attainment and higher HCE were associated with more favourable work outcomes, independently of SpA phenotype. The outcomes suggest that the disadvantageous effect of female gender on employment is especially strong in countries with lower socioeconomic development.
