Webinar – Women and Axial Spondyloarthritis: diagnosis and management

ARMA logo in square form

Friday 9 October 2020, 12.30 – 1.30pm

Men with Axial SpA are more likely than women to experience changes to the bones and fusion, and thus they can be picked up using x-ray. Women are more likely than men to experience inflammation rather than fusion, which is visible on MRI but not on x-ray.

  • What are the implications for diagnosis of axial SpA in a woman?
  • What do GPs and First Contact MSK practitioners need to consider?
  • How do responses to biologics differ?
  • What are the implications for management of women with axial SpA?
  • What specific issues, such as pregnancy, need to be considered?
  • What are the implications of co-morbidities such as uveitis, psoriasis, IBS and increased risk of osteoporosis?

This webinar will consider the above questions including the evidence, research and case studies.
