Can you put the puzzle together in axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA) and axial psoriatic arthritis (axPsA)?

Axial involvement is an important feature in patients with SpA and PsA, and this manifestation has various similarities and differences between both diseases.1,2 Recognizing and assessing the unique presentation of axPsA and axSpA is critical to improve the outcomes in our patients.

Listen in to a discussion panel moderated by Christopher T. Ritchlin, MD with Atul Deodhar, MD, Philip Mease, MD, and Alexis Ogdie-Beatty, MD, as they discuss current diagnostic challenges and new insights on the assessment of axial features.

This presentation is sponsored by Novartis Medical Affairs and all speakers have been compensated for their time.
