Cardiovascular risk scores in axial spondyloarthritis vs the general population: A cross-sectional study

The Journal of Rheumatology Mar 05, 2021

Liew JW, Reveille JD, Castillo M, et al. - This cross-sectional analysis was conducted to assess 10-year atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) risk in axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA) vs the general US population. Participants were 211 adults, 40–75 years old suffering from ankylosing spondylitis or nonradiographic axSpA. For these, data regarding comorbidities, medication use, blood pressure measures, and laboratory cholesterol values were obtained. For patients with axSpA and for NHANES comparators, the estimated mean 10-year ASCVD risk score was 6.7 ± 6.9% and 9.0 ± 10.5%, respectively. According to findings, no significant difference in the prevalence of a 10-year ASCVD risk score ≥ 7.5% was revealed in a comparison of axSpA patients with those from the general population who were similar in terms of age, gender, and race.
