Abstract
This review provides a narrative exploration of the literature on various social determinants of health that influence outcomes in axial Spondyloarthritis (axSpA). By using the PROGRESS-Plus framework (place of residence, race, occupation, gender/sex, religion, education, socioeconomic status, social capital, age), this review discusses how these factors have been studied and their impact on disease outcomes in axSpA. The findings suggest that various patient-level factors (e.g. female sex, blue-collar jobs, low educational level) and country-level factors (e.g. low-income countries) associate with worse health outcomes in axSpA. These insights highlight the importance of adopting a multifaceted and holistic approach, that also considers social determinants of health, when managing patients with axSpA. This work also identifies unmet needs in this area including the importance of thinking beyond just biological factors, when considering drivers of suboptimal outcomes in axSpA.
期刊介绍:
Autoimmunity Reviews is a publication that features up-to-date, structured reviews on various topics in the field of autoimmunity. These reviews are written by renowned experts and include demonstrative illustrations and tables. Each article will have a clear "take-home" message for readers.
The selection of articles is primarily done by the Editors-in-Chief, based on recommendations from the international Editorial Board. The topics covered in the articles span all areas of autoimmunology, aiming to bridge the gap between basic and clinical sciences.
In terms of content, the contributions in basic sciences delve into the pathophysiology and mechanisms of autoimmune disorders, as well as genomics and proteomics. On the other hand, clinical contributions focus on diseases related to autoimmunity, novel therapies, and clinical associations.
Autoimmunity Reviews is internationally recognized, and its articles are indexed and abstracted in prestigious databases such as PubMed/Medline, Science Citation Index Expanded, Biosciences Information Services, and Chemical Abstracts.
