Trends show reduced hospitalizations but stable mortality related to psoriatic arthritis and axial spondyloarthritis in Mexico, highlighting health care improvements and disparities.
In Mexico, SpA-related mortality remained stable over 2 decades, whereas hospitalizations decreased significantly after 2012. These diverging trends coincide with the expansion of therapeutic options and health care coverage, although regional disparities persist. Ongoing surveillance is required to determine whether morbidity gains will eventually translate into reduced mortality.
