Axial Spondyloarthritis (axSpA) Disease Understanding
Axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA) is a chronic, immune-mediated, inflammatory condition that consists of two subsets, which clinically have been defined as ankylosing spondylitis (AS) and non-radiographic axial spondyloarthritis (nr-axSpA). Nr-axSpA is characterized by the absence of definitive x-ray evidence of structural damage to the sacroiliac (SI) joint by plain x-ray. Since the SI joint x-ray interpretation is subjective, the distinction between nr-axSpA and AS is not absolute. Sacroiliitis (inflammation of the SI joint) and inflammation of the spine are predominant features of axSpA; hence patients typically present with inflammatory back pain. Other manifestations, such as enthesitis, dactylitis, peripheral arthritis, anterior uveitis, psoriasis, and inflammatory bowel disease, are common. Over time many patients with nr-axSpA develop the structural damage of sacroiliac joints, ultimately progressing to AS; however, some nr-axSpA patients will never advance to this stage. The clinical manifestations for axSpA and nr-axSpA are similar to the patients’ disease burden experience.
Patients with axSpA commonly complain of back pain that starts before 45 years of age. Back pain’s characteristic features include chronicity (>3 months), insidious onset, improvement with exercise, an occurrence at night with improvement upon waking, and no rest. Inflammatory back pain (IBP) criteria are essential in screening for axSpA. Among at-risk patients, the sensitivity of IBP (approximately 70–95%) for axSpA is relatively high (back pain >3 months with onset age).

The disease epidemiology covered in the report provides historical as well as forecasted epidemiology segmented by Total Prevalent Cases of Axial Spondyloarthritis, Total Diagnosed Prevalent Cases of Axial Spondyloarthritis, Gender-specific Diagnosed Prevalent Cases of Axial Spondyloarthritis, Age-specific Diagnosed Prevalent Cases of Axial Spondyloarthritis, Gene-specific Diagnosed Prevalent Cases of Axial Spondyloarthritis scenario in the United States, from 2021 to 2034.
Axial Spondyloarthritis (axSpA) Detailed Epidemiology Segmentation
- The total prevalent population of Axial Spondyloarthritis (axSpA) in the US was estimated to be 3,122,331 in 2020 which is anticipated to rise till 2034. Out of the total prevalent population, 1,336,050 cases were diagnosed in 2020.
- In the epidemiology model, different age-groups are included, i.e., 18–29 years, 30–39 years, 40–49 years, 50–59 years, 60–69 years, and 70+ years. It is estimated that the most prevalent age-group for axSpA in the United States was 40–49 years in 2020.
- The total prevalent population of nr-axSpA and AS in the US was estimated to be 1,821,360 and 1,300,971 in 2020, respectively.
- In 2020, out of the total diagnosed cases of nr-axSpA, 670,252 cases had HLA-B27 gene mutation, and 109,111 cases involved other genes (ERAP 1, IL-12, IL-17, and IL-23). Additionally, in cases of AS, out of the total diagnosed cases in 2020, 501,019 cases involved HLA-B27 gene, and 55,669 cases had other genes involvement.
- The prevalent population of AS showed a male predominance, whereas nr-axSpA showed a female predominance. Out of the total diagnosed population of nr-axSpA 779,363 cases in the US, 335,126 and 444,237 cases were contributed by males and females, respectively, in 2020.

“The diagnosis of axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA) can be tough to spot as so many people have back pain—its main symptom. Additionally, there are no specific lab tests to identify the condition. All these factors play a major role in the low diagnosis of axSpA. Gender difference in both the types of axSpA has shown different trend. In case of nr-axSpA, female dominance is observed, whereas in AS, male dominance is there.”
