25 Incidence of Spondyloarthropathy in Patients With Ulcerative Colitis: A Population-Based Study

“…Salvarani, et al reported a similar frequency of spondyloarthritis (based on ESSG criteria) in UC and Crohn's disease, which is in contrast to our findings that the incidence rate of spondyloarthritis (based on ESSG criteria) in UC is about half the rate of that in Crohn's disease (9). Also, in contrast to our study, they found a higher frequency of enthesopathy in Crohn's disease compared that that in UC.…”

“…In a retrospective study from 1998, the frequency of pauciarticular peripheral arthritis, which is most strongly correlated with IBD activity, was reported to be 3.6% in patients with UC and 6% in patients with Crohn's disease (8). In contrast, another retrospective study from 2001 noted the frequency of peripheral arthritis to be 6.1% in patients with UC and 1.7% in Crohn's disease (9).…”

“…UC has been associated with a lower prevalence of arthropathy in the literature when compared to Crohn's disease (1,(4)(5)(6), although others have reported that there is no major difference in the occurrence of spondyloarthritis between UC and Crohn's disease (7). Axial arthropathies, which include sacroiliitis and spondylitis, have been estimated to occur in 5-22% of patients with Crohn's disease and 2-6% of patients with UC.…”

“…Estimates of spondyloarthritis (SpA) prevalence in IBD are available from several cohorts, but none have been reported in US populations, and no population-based incidence estimates are available from any established cohort (1,3,(8)(9)(10)(11)(12)(13). Our aim was to assess the prevalence and cumulative incidence of spondyloarthritis in a population-based cohort of UC patients from Olmsted County, Minnesota.…”

Manifestações extra-intestinais em doença de Crohn e retocolite ulcerativa: prevalência e correlação com o diagnóstico, extensão, atividade, tempo de evolução da doença

“…A incidência de acometimento articular perifé-rico varia de 10,6 a 23%(1, 35,20,38,39). Em nosso estudo encontramos uma incidência de 48,9%( RCU-51,5% e DC-48,5% ), que pode ser explicada por um maior tempo de seguimento destes doentes, questionamentos freqüentes sobre manifestações articulares, além de diferenças na definição de artropatias entre os trabalhos publicados.…”
