The aim is to evaluate the effect of a multidisciplinary collaboration on early diagnosis of IBD-related spondylarthritis (IBD-SpA).
Conducted a cross-sectional study with IBD outpatients evaluated by gastroenterologist and rheumatologist.
Performed a comprehensive rheumatologic assessment, DETAIL questionnaire, and necessary laboratory and imaging investigations.
Classified suspected cases based on diagnostics into IBD-SpA, alternative diagnoses, or nonspecific arthralgias.
605 IBD patients screened for IBD-SpA; 81 were previously diagnosed with SpA.
117 patients suspected of having IBD-SpA, with SpA confirmed in 18 (15%).
Achieved a 22% relative increase in SpA prevalence, mostly detected within the first year of symptoms.
87% of suspected cases were excluded from SpA and diagnosed as other arthropathies or non-specific arthralgias.
