Abstract
INTRODUCTION Ankylosing spondylitis (AS) is a chronic condition that requires lifelong treatment and results in a serious disease burden. Health state utility values (HSUVs) are a valuable tool for quantifying this burden and conducting cost-utility analysis. OBJECTIVE We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis to obtain estimates of HSUVs in patients with AS, explored potential sources of heterogeneity, and compared pooled patient HSUVs with population norms. METHOD We searched PubMed, Embase, Web of science, Cochrane database and Scopus until July, 2023 to obtain eligible studies. The methodological quality of the included studies was assessed using the ROBINS-I checklist. RESULTS Forty-two publications involving 11,354 participants were included in this systematic review. The most commonly used instrument is the EQ-5D (38 studies). The estimated HSUVs for patients with AS from all available studies was pooled as 0.62 (95% CI 0.59 to 0.65). The pooled mean utility estimates from the random effects meta-analysis for SF-6D, EQ-5D-3L, EQ-5D-5L, and HUI3 were 0.65 (95% CI 0.62,0.68), 0.63 (95% CI 0.59,0.66), 0.60 (95% CI 0.42,0.79), and 0.48 (95% CI 0.43,0.53), respectively. For the EQ-5D-3L we conducted stratified meta-analyses and meta-regression based on key subgroups. The pooled estimates of EQ-5D-3L were lower for patients published before 2010, with high disease activity, long duration of disease, and in developed countries. CONCLUSION Pooled estimates of HSUVs for people with AS were substantially lower than population norms. These estimates provide robust evidence that can inform the economic evaluation of new therapies for individuals with AS.

Association between inflammatory joint disease and severe or treatment-resistant depression: population-based cohort and case-control studies in Sweden. Gen Hosp Psychiatry 2024; 89:23-31. [PMID: 38714100 DOI: 10.1016/j.genhosppsych.2024.04.007] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/08/2023] [Revised: 02/20/2024] [Accepted: 04/25/2024] [Indexed: 05/09/2024]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate whether the association between depression and inflammatory joint disease (IJD; rheumatoid arthritis [RA], psoriatic arthritis [PsA], ankylosing spondylitis/spondyloarthropathies [AS], and juvenile idiopathic arthritis [JIA]) is affected by the severity or treatment-resistance of depression. METHOD Parallel cohort studies and case-control studies among 600,404 patients with a depressive episode identified in Swedish nationwide administrative registers. Prospective and retrospective risk for IJD in patients with depression was compared to matched population comparators, and the same associations were investigated in severe or treatment-resistant depression. Analyses were adjusted for comorbidities and sociodemographic covariates. RESULTS Patients with depression had an increased risk for later IJD compared to population comparators (adjusted hazard ratio (aHR) for any IJD 1.34 [95% CI 1.30-1.39]; for RA 1.27 [1.15-1.41]; PsA 1.45 [1.29-1.63]; AS 1.32 [1.15-1.52]). In case-control studies, patients with depression more frequently had a history of IJD compared to population controls (adjusted odds ratio (aOR) for any IJD 1.43 [1.37-1.50]; RA 1.39 [1.29-1.49]; PsA 1.59 [1.46-1.73]; AS 1.49 [1.36-1.64]; JIA 1.52 [1.35-1.71]). These associations were not significantly different for severe depression or TRD. CONCLUSION IJD and depression are bidirectionally associated, but this association does not seem to be influenced by the severity or treatment resistance of depression.

Abstract
BACKGROUND This study aims to assess the prevalence of poor mental health in axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA) and its associated factors in a large sample of patients from the International Map of Axial Spondyloarthritis (IMAS) study from around the globe. METHODS IMAS is a cross-sectional online survey (2017-2022) that includes 5557 unselected patients with axSpA worldwide. Mental health was evaluated by the 12-item General Health Questionnaire (GHQ-12) and the cut-off point for poor mental health was set at 3. Logistic regression analysis was used to evaluate relationships between the investigated factors and poor mental health (GHQ-12≥3) in patients with axSpA (n=4335). RESULTS Of 5351 patients, the mean of GHQ-12 was 4.7 and 59.4% were having poor mental health, being 69.9% in South Africa, 63.7% in Latin America, 60.8% in Europe, 54.3% in North America and 51.8% in Asia. Overall, 40.5% and 37.2% of patients experienced anxiety and depression. The factors associated with poor mental health were younger age (OR=0.99), female gender (OR=1.16), being on sick leave or unemployed (OR=1.63), non-physical activity (OR=1.22), smoking (OR=1.20), higher Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis Disease Activity Index [BASDAI] (OR=1.42), functional limitation (OR=1.02) and shorter symptoms duration (OR=0.98). CONCLUSIONS Globally, 6 in 10 patients with axSpA had poor mental health, with a higher proportion in South Africa and lower in Asia. The factors associated with poor mental health include domains such as younger age, female gender, employment difficulties, harmful habits, disease burden and symptom duration. A holistic management approach to axSpA should encompass both physical and mental health.

Abstract
Background Epidemiologic evidence has demonstrated a correlation between ankylosing spondylitis and psychiatric disorders. However, little is known about the common genetics and causality of this association. This study aimed to investigate the common genetics and causality between ankylosing spondylitis (AS) and psychiatric disorders. Methods A two-sample Mendelian Randomization (MR) analysis was carried out to confirm causal relationships between ankylosing spondylitis and five mental health conditions including major depressive disorder (MDD), anxiety disorder (AXD), schizophrenia (SCZ), bipolar disorder (BIP), and anorexia nervosa (AN). Genetic instrumental variables associated with exposures and outcomes were derived from the largest available summary statistics of genome-wide association studies (GWAS). Bidirectional causal estimation of MR was primarily obtained using the inverse variance weighting (IVW) method. Other MR methods include MR-Egger regression, Weighted Median Estimator (WME), Weighted Mode, Simple Mode, and Mendelian randomization pleiotropy residual sum and outlier (MR-PRESSO). Sensitivity analyses are conducted to estimate the robustness of MR results. Results The findings suggest that AS may be causally responsible for the risk of developing SCZ (OR = 1.18, 95% confidence interval = (1.06, 1.31), P = 2.58 × 10-3) and AN (OR = 1.32, 95% confidence interval = (1.07, 1.64), P = 9.43 × 10-3). In addition, MDD, AXD, SCZ, AN, and BIP were not inversely causally related to AS (all p > 0.05). Conclusion Our study provides fresh insights into the relationship between AS and psychiatric disorders (SCZ and AN). Furthermore, it may provide new clues for risk management and preventive interventions for mental disorders in patients with AS.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To evaluate the association between anxiety, depression and resilience with overall health and functioning in axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA). DESIGN Cross-sectional evaluation of baseline data from a prospective cohort study, with recruitment from January 2018 to March 2021. SETTING Outpatient clinic in a tertiary hospital in Singapore. PARTICIPANTS Patients aged 21 years and above who were diagnosed with axSpA. OUTCOME MEASURES The Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) was used for assessing anxiety and depression, 10-item Connor Davidson Resilience Scale (CD-RISC-10) for resilience, Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis Disease Activity Index (BASDAI) for disease activity, Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis Functional Index (BASFI) for functional limitation and Assessment of SpondyloArthritis International Society Health Index (ASAS HI) for overall health and functioning. Univariable and multivariable linear regression analyses were performed to assess the association between anxiety, depression and resilience with health and functioning. RESULTS We included 296 patients in this study. The median (IQR) score for HADS-Anxiety was 5.0 (2.0-8.0), with 13.5% and 13.9% having borderline abnormal and abnormal anxiety, respectively. The median (IQR) score for HADS-Depression was 3.0 (1.0-7.0), with 12.8% and 8.4% having borderline abnormal and abnormal depression, respectively. The median (IQR) CD-RISC-10 score was 29.0 (23.0-32.0) while the median (IQR) ASAS HI score was 4.0 (2.0-7.0). Apart from BASDAI, BASFI and disease duration, anxiety and depression were associated with overall health and functioning (β: 0.12, 95% CI 0.03, 0.20; β: 0.20, 95% CI 0.09, 0.31) in the multivariable linear regression. Level of resilience was not associated with health and functioning. CONCLUSION Anxiety and depression, but not resilience, were associated with poorer health and functioning. Clinicians could consider routinely screening for anxiety and depression in their patients, especially in patients with more severe symptoms.

Abstract
Physical activity (PA) is a primary non-pharmacological treatment option for those living with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and spondyloarthritis (SpA). The aim of this systematic literature review was to summarize and present an updated synthesis of the factors associated with PA in the RA and SpA populations. A tailored search of PubMed (inc. Medline), Web of Science, Embase, APA PsycNET, and Scopus was conducted for research published between 2004 and June 2019. Methodological quality was assessed using The National Institutes of Health (NIH) Quality Assessment Tools for Observational Cohort and Cross-sectional Studies, Case–Control Studies, and Controlled Intervention Studies. Forty RA and eleven SpA articles met the inclusion criteria. Methodological quality was generally fair to good, with two RA studies rated as poor. Correlates are discussed in the sociodemographic, physical, psychological, social, and environmental categories. Environmental factors were not measured in any RA study. In individuals living with RA, consistent positive associations were found between PA and high-density lipoprotein, self-efficacy, and motivation. Consistent negative associations were found for functional disability and fatigue. In individuals with SpA, consistent positive associations were found between PA and quality of life, and consistent negative associations with functional disability. Physical and psychological factors are most consistently related with PA parameters in those living with RA and SpA. Many variables were inconsistently studied and showed indeterminant associations. Studies with prospective designs are needed to further understand the factors associated with PA in these populations, especially in those living with SpA.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION People with axial spondyloarthritis (AS) have an inflammatory profile, increasing the risk of hypertension, type 2 diabetes, obesity, and dyslipidaemia. Consequently, AS is linked with co-morbidities such as cardiovascular disease (CVD). Physical inactivity, diet, smoking, alcohol consumption, and obesity influence inflammation, but knowledge of the interaction between these with inflammation, disease activity, and CVD risk in AS is dominated by cross-sectional research. METHODS A review of the literature was conducted between July 2020 and December 2021. The focus of the scoping review is to summarise longitudinal and randomised control trials in humans to investigate how tracking or modifying lifestyle influences inflammation and disease burden in patients with AS. KEY MESSAGES: (1) Lifestyle modifications, especially increased physical activity (PA), exercise, and smoking cessation, are critical in managing AS. (2) Smoking is negatively associated with patient reported outcome measures with AS, plus pharmaceutical treatment adherence, but links with structural radiographic progression are inconclusive. (3) Paucity of data warrant structured studies measuring inflammatory cytokine responses to lifestyle modification in AS. CONCLUSION Increased PA, exercise, and smoking cessation should be supported at every given opportunity to improve health outcomes in patients with AS. The link between smoking and radiographic progression needs further investigation. Studies investigating the longitudinal effect of body weight, alcohol, and psychosocial factors on disease activity and physical function in patients with AS are needed. Given the link between inflammation and AS, future studies should also incorporate markers of chronic inflammation beyond the standard C-reactive protein and erythrocyte sedimentation rate measurements.

Abstract
Objective To determine the presence of mental disorder risk and associated factors in European patients with axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA). Methods Data from 2,166 patients with axSpA in 12 European countries were collected from 2017 to 2018 through the European Map of Axial Spondyloarthritis online survey. Risk of mental disorders was assessed using the 12-item General Health Questionnaire. Possible predictors included age, gender, relationship status, patient organisation membership, job status, educational level, Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis Disease Activity Index (BASDAI), functional limitation (0–54) and self-reported depression or anxiety. Bivariate analyses were conducted to determine predictors of risk of mental disorders (Mann-Whitney and χ2) and multivariable analysis identified factors associated with risk of mental disorders. Results 60.7% of patients reported risk of mental disorders: they were younger (41.7 vs 46.0 years), more likely female (68.2% vs 57.9%), unemployed (7.5% vs 2.7%), on temporary (15.9% vs 5.4%) or permanent sick leave (13.2% vs 8.0%), reported depression (45.2% vs 14.2%) or anxiety (41.3% vs 12.5%), higher disease activity (BASDAI ≥4; 87.6% vs 62.3%) and functional limitation (16.5 vs 10.8). The factors most associated with risk of mental disorders were disease activity (OR=2.80), reported depression (OR=2.42), anxiety (OR=2.39), being unemployed or on sick leave (OR=1.98), functional limitation (OR=1.02) and younger age (OR=0.97). Conclusions Compared with the general population, patients with axSpA show disproportionately worse mental health associated mainly with disease activity and employment status. Healthcare professionals should pay close attention to patients with high disease activity and address internally or refer to specialist services, where appropriate to ensure optimal patient outcomes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of secukinumab 150 mg compared with placebo in the management of spinal pain and disease activity in patients with axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA) at Week 8 and up to Week 24. METHODS Patients (n = 380) with active axSpA were randomized (3:1) to secukinumab 150 mg (Group A) or placebo (Group B). At Week 8, patients from Group A with an average spinal pain score <4 were defined as responders and were re-assigned to secukinumab 150 mg (Arm A1); whereas non-responders were re-randomized to secukinumab 150/300 mg (Arm A2/A3). Patients from Group B were re-randomized (1:1) to secukinumab 150/300 mg (Arm B1/B2). RESULTS At Week 8, the odds of achieving an average spinal pain score of <4 were significantly higher for patients on secukinumab 150 mg than for patients on placebo (odds ratio (OR): 1.89; 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.08-3.33; p = 0.0264). Further reductions in spinal pain were observed across treatment groups up to Week 24. Pronounced improvements were also observed in other disease activity measurements, such as Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis Disease Activity Index and Ankylosing Spondylitis Disease Activity Score. Responders from Group A showed the highest improvements for all measured parameters of spinal pain compared with the other arms. No new or unexpected safety signals were observed. CONCLUSION Secukinumab provided rapid and significant improvement in spinal pain at Week 8 which was sustained or increased further up to Week 24 in patients with axSpA.

Abstract
AbstractIn this review, we summarise the most relevant studies in a PubMed Search term
“mental disorders and rheumatic disease” in the last 15 years.
Mental disorders such as depression and anxiety are common in people with
rheumatic diseases. Treating these comorbidities can improve the patientʼs
quality of life. The high prevalence of symptoms of psychiatric disorders is a
challenge for rheumatologists, especially with regard to the differentiation of
possible psychiatric components in rheumatological diseases. Screening for
psychiatric problems in patients with rheumatic diseases should be evaluated as
soon as possible, as these can have a major influence on the perception of pain
and physical functioning status from the outset. Mental health disorders are
seen as a risk factor for poor patient outcomes, as patients may not adhere to
medical treatments. The potential side effects of biological agents can increase
patient anxiety and affect adherence to therapy. Therefore, interdisciplinary
care would be of great advantage in the treatment of rheumatic patients with
psychological comorbidities.

Gender differences in factors associated with low quality of life and depression in Korean patients with ankylosing spondylitis. Qual Life Res 2021; 30:2299-2310. [PMID: 33689133 DOI: 10.1007/s11136-021-02800-w] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Accepted: 02/13/2021] [Indexed: 10/21/2022]
Abstract
PURPOSE To identify predictors of low health-related quality of life (HRQoL) and depression in ankylosing spondylitis (AS) patients with a focus on gender differences. METHODS We conducted a cross-sectional cohort study. Both AS-related clinical data and contextual factors were obtained. HRQoL and depressive mood were assessed by EuroQol-5 dimension (EQ-5D) and the Center for Epidemiological Studies Depression Scale (CES-D), respectively. Gender-stratified multivariable logistic regression analyses were performed. RESULTS Among 211 patients, 161 were males. Males had similar disease activity and higher radiographic damage compared with females. There was no significant difference in EQ-5D index score between genders. CES-D score was higher in females. Higher ASDAS-C-reactive protein (CRP) was associated with low HRQoL in both males (Odds ratio [OR] 4.25, 95% confidence interval [CI] 2.42-7.46) and females (OR 2.94, 95% CI 1.02-8.48). Being employed was associated with decreased possibility of having low HRQoL in males (OR 0.39, 95% CI 0.16-0.95). Regarding depression, higher ASDAS-CRP (OR 1.87, 95% CI 1.03-3.40), current smoking (OR 2.98, 95% CI 1.09-8.15), and being employed (OR 0.17, 95% CI 0.06-0.46) were associated with depression in males. For females, living with a partner was related to depression (OR 0.08, 95% CI 0.01-0.93). CONCLUSION AS patients with high disease activity are likely to be suffering from low HRQoL. Both disease-related factors and contextual factors were associated with depression, and predictors showed some differences between genders. Awareness of gender differences in comprehensive assessment can lead us to better personalized management in AS patients.

Higher depression rates and similar cardiovascular comorbidity in psoriatic arthritis compared with rheumatoid arthritis and diabetes mellitus. Ther Adv Musculoskelet Dis 2020; 12:1759720X20976975. [PMID: 33343726 PMCID: PMC7727079 DOI: 10.1177/1759720x20976975] [Citation(s) in RCA: 27] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/27/2020] [Accepted: 11/05/2020] [Indexed: 12/30/2022] Open
Abstract
Background We explore the spectrum of comorbidities in psoriatic arthritis (PsA) patients in comparison with other high comorbidity-burden diseases like rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and diabetes mellitus (DM). Methods Two hundred and fifteen PsA patients, cross-sectionally collected from two tertiary hospitals, were compared with 215 RA and 215 DM patients (age/sex-matched, similar disease duration). Cardiovascular risk factors [hypertension, current smoking, hyperlipidaemia, obesity (body mass index (BMI) ⩾30)], coronary artery disease (CAD), stroke, major adverse cardiac events (MACEs; combined CAD and stroke), depression, osteoporosis and malignancies were recorded. Odds ratios (ORs) for stroke, CAD and MACE were adjusted for age, sex, hypertension, smoking, hyperlipidaemia, BMI, glucocorticoids use and those for depression were adjusted for age, sex, disease duration, skin involvement and smoking. Within the PsA group, associations between comorbidities and demographic/clinical features were assessed. Results Depression [OR (95% confidence interval (CI)): 3.02 (1.57-5.81)], obesity [OR (95% CI): 2.83, (1.65-4.86)] and hyperlipidaemia [OR (95% CI): 1.96 (1.32-2.90)] were more prevalent in PsA compared with RA, while no differences were observed for CAD, stroke, MACE and malignancies. Depression [OR (95% CI): 4.85 (2.37-9.93)] and osteoporosis [OR (95% CI): 6.22 (1.33-29.2)] were more common in PsA than in DM. Hypertension, but not the other cardiovascular risk factors, was more frequent in DM [OR (95% CI) 0.49 (0.33-0.74)]. However, prevalence of stroke, CAD and MACE did not differ between PsA and DM. Within PsA group, depression was associated with age [OR (95% CI): 1.03 (0.99-1.06)], female sex [OR (95% CI): 3.47 (1.51-7.99)] and smoking [OR (95% CI): 2.78 (1.31-5.88)] while MACEs were associated with age [OR (95% CI): 1.08 (1.00-1.17)], male sex [OR (95% CI) for females: 0.26 (0.06-1.23) and hypertension [OR (95% CI): 6.07 (1.12-33.0)]. No differences were recorded in comorbidities between the different PsA phenotypes. Conclusion Depression was more prevalent in PsA compared with RA and DM, while cardiovascular comorbidity was comparable to both groups, supporting the need for their assessment and management.

Abstract
Studying comorbidities in patients with psoriatic arthritis (PsA) provides a better understanding of the extended burden of the disease. Depression and anxiety are well recognized but understudied comorbidities in patients with PsA. The prevalence of depression is significantly higher in this patient population than in the general population, with far reaching consequences in terms of long-term quality of life. Over the past few years there has been an increasing interest in the link between inflammation and depression, with several novel studies being conducted. Recent evidence suggests a significant improvement of depression in PsA patients treated with biologic disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drugs (bDMARDs) as compared to conventional DMARDs. Depression in PsA is multidimensional, with recognized phenotypes, including cognitive disorder, alexithymia and anhedonia. The paucity of standardized, validated tools to screen these dimensional phenotypes remains an unmet need. Prevalence studies on depression in patients with PsA, mostly based on patient-reported outcomes, are only able to highlight the tip of the iceberg. A comprehensive, multi-disciplinary approach addressing the subdomains of depression is imperative for a better understanding of depression in PsA patients, as well as to find a way forward for improving their quality of life. In this scoping review, we explore existing evidence on the burden of depression in PsA patients, the link between inflammation and depression in these patients and the screening tools used to evaluate the subdomains of depression.

Epidemiology of depression and anxiety in patients with psoriatic arthritis: A systematic review and meta-analysis. Semin Arthritis Rheum 2020; 50:1481-1488. [PMID: 32178850 DOI: 10.1016/j.semarthrit.2020.02.001] [Citation(s) in RCA: 21] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/15/2019] [Revised: 01/21/2020] [Accepted: 02/08/2020] [Indexed: 12/23/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE To conduct a systematic review and meta-analysis of the prevalence, incidence, and medication treatment of depression and anxiety among patients with psoriatic arthritis (PsA). METHODS We searched Medline, Embase, Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews, CINAHL and PsycINFO for full-length studies that: utilized an observational design; included patients with PsA with/without a comparator group; evaluated depression and/or anxiety as an outcome, comorbidity, or predictor of a health outcome; and reported relevant estimates. We pooled estimates using random effects models. RESULTS Of 683 titles identified in our search, 18 studies met inclusion criteria. The pooled prevalence proportion for depression based on 11 studies was 17% (95% confidence interval [CI], 13% to 21%). In addition, a meta-analysis of four studies comparing the prevalence of depression in patients with PsA to those without PsA yielded a pooled odds ratio (OR) of 1.68 (95% CI, 1.37 to 2.08). The incidence of depression in PsA patients compared to the general population yielded a pooled incidence rate of 21.27 (95% CI, 16.28 to 26.27) per 1,000 person-years and a pooled incidence rate ratio of 1.44 (95% CI, 1.20 to 1.73). The pooled prevalence proportion of anxiety based on seven studies was 19% (95% CI, 11% to 29%) and a meta-analysis of two studies comparing the prevalence of anxiety in patients with PsA to those without PsA yielded a pooled OR of 1.49 (95% CI, 1.39 to 1.59). Only a small proportion of patients, between 2.4% and 13.5%, were reported to be taking antidepressant or antianxiety medications. CONCLUSIONS We identified substantial prevalence of depression and anxiety as well as elevated incidence of depression among patients with PsA. These findings should raise awareness of the importance of mental health care in this population.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Patients with ankylosing spondylitis (AS) have a higher prevalence of depression compared to the general population. Comorbid depression in AS likely has a multifactorial origin. While several disease-related and contextual factors have been associated with depressive symptoms in AS, a comprehensive model of their interrelations is currently lacking. Such a model could help understand the mechanisms leading to, or maintaining, depression in AS. The objectives of the current study were to determine which factors are associated with depressive symptoms in AS and to understand their underlying relationships. METHODS Data from a cross-sectional survey-based multicentre study were used. Potential determinants included both contextual and disease-related factors. Depressive symptoms were assessed by the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Subscale (HADS-D). Direct and indirect associations between risk factors and the latent depressive symptom outcome were explored using structural equation modelling. A final model was selected based on model fit criteria and clinical plausibility. RESULTS Among 245 patients, median HADS-D score was 3 (interquartile range 1-6), and 44 patients (18%) had a HADS-D score ≥ 8, indicating possible depression. In the final model, contextual factors significantly associated with depressive symptoms were male gender, being employed, lower income, lower mastery and worse satisfaction with social role participation. Bath AS Disease Activity Index (BASDAI) was the only disease-related factor that was associated with depressive symptoms, acted only indirectly via mastery, and its standardized total effect on depressive symptoms was smaller than that of several contextual factors. Mastery had a central role in the path diagram and mediated the effects of BASDAI, income and satisfaction with social role participation on depressive symptoms. The final model explained 64% of the variance in the depression outcome. CONCLUSIONS Both contextual and disease-related factors are associated with depressive symptoms in AS. Mastery, the extent to which one feels in control over life and disease, has a key role in this process. Results support a relevance of self-efficacy in disease management and patient education. In order to improve patients' mental health, research is warranted whether mastery and its relation with depression can be modified.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE In this systematic review and meta-analysis of psoriatic arthritis (PsA) studies, we pooled data from existing literature to (1) estimate the prevalence of mental health disorders in PsA patients and (2) compare disease activity in PsA patients with and without these comorbidities. METHOD We searched PubMED, Web of Science, Scopus, PsycINFO and the Cochrane Library using a predefined protocol in accordance with Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines. Where possible, meta-analysis was performed using random effects model. Prevalence estimates were pooled according to the severity of mental health disorders. RESULTS A total of 24 studies, amounting to 31,227 PsA patients, were included for review. Anxiety and depression were the only consistently reported mental health disorders, defined using a range of screening criteria/thresholds. Anxiety prevalence ranged from 4 to 61% with a pooled estimate of 33% (95%CI 17 to 53%) having at least mild anxiety and 21% (95%CI 14 to 29%) at least moderate. Depression prevalence ranged from 5 to 51%, with 20% (95%CI 8 to 35%) having at least mild and 14% (95%CI 8 to 21%) at least moderate. Only two studies compared disease activity according to the presence of mental health comorbidities; both reported higher disease activity and pain among those with comorbid anxiety and depression. CONCLUSIONS Anxiety and depression are highly prevalent among PsA patients. Studies of other mental health disorders were scarce. More studies are needed on the impact of these comorbidities on disease activity and long-term outcomes.Key Points• One in three patients with psoriatic arthritis has at least mild anxiety, while 1 in 5 reported at least mild depression.• PsA patients with anxiety and/or depression reported greater disease activity.• More research is needed on other mental health comorbidities, particularly sleep, suicide/self-harm and substance misuse.

Abstract
AIM To investigate the point prevalence of depression and anxiety in psoriatic arthritis and putative reductions in these comorbidities with the treatment of psoriatic arthritis. METHOD We performed a systematic review in accordance with PRISMA guidelines examining point prevalence of depression and anxiety in psoriatic arthritis as well as effects of treatment for psoriatic arthritis on these psychiatric comorbidities. MEDLINE, EMBASE, EBM Reviews and Cochrane, and PsycINFO were searched from inception to October 2017. Quality of studies was assessed using the Joanna Briggs Institute Checklist for Prevalence Studies. Study and population characteristics were extracted and entered into an electronic database for subsequent descriptive and meta-analysis of point prevalence. RESULT Three studies matched inclusion criteria with significant statistical heterogeneity. The prevalence of depression ranged between 9%-22% and anxiety between 15%-30% in patients with psoriatic arthritis. One study matched inclusion criteria for treatment effect analysis, albeit with a high risk of bias and illustrated a benefit of etanercept on the prevalence of depression (9% vs 16%) and anxiety (14% vs 30%) after 24 weeks of treatment. CONCLUSION This is the first systematic review of point prevalence of depression and anxiety in patients with psoriatic arthritis. There is a moderate point prevalence of both depression and anxiety in patients with psoriatic arthritis, which is similar or slightly higher than the general population and comparable to that seen in other rheumatic diseases. The effects of treatment for psoriatic arthritis on comorbid depression and anxiety remain unclear.

Abstract
Background Chronic pain, regional or widespread, is a frequent and multidimensional symptom in arthritis. There is still limited information on chronic pain in spondyloarthritis, which is important to recognize for adequate diagnosis and treatment. Our objective was to study differences in prevalence of chronic widespread pain in two spondyloarthritis subgroups: ankylosing spondylitis (AS) and undifferentiated spondyloarthritis (USpA). Methods A population-based postal survey involving questions on the duration, distribution, and intensity of pain was answered by 940 patients with AS (ICD-10 M45.9) or USpA (ICD-10 M46.1-0, M46.8-9). The patients were categorized as having chronic widespread pain, chronic regional pain, or no chronic pain, and prevalence estimates for the pain groups were calculated, including age- and sex-adjusted prevalence. Results The prevalence of chronic widespread pain was 45.3% in AS vs. 49.3% in USpA, and that of chronic regional pain was 17.7% vs. 21.9% (p = 0.033). More women than men reported having chronic widespread pain (54.1% vs. 41.2%, p ≤ 0.001), while the sex distribution for chronic regional pain was equal. Reports of pain intensity were equal in AS and USpA, with no significant difference in pain intensity between women and men who had chronic regional pain or chronic widespread pain. In the multiple logistic regression analysis, chronic widespread pain was associated to female sex, being an ever-smoker, and having a higher body mass index, controlled for SpA subgroup and disease duration. Conclusions The prevalence of chronic widespread pain in patients with AS and USpA is high, and with a female predominance, but with no difference in pain intensity between women and men. Chronic pain can complicate the clinical evaluation in patients with SpA, and highlights the need for a thorough clinical examination, including evaluation of inflammation and an accurate pain analysis, to individualize non-pharmacological and pharmacological treatment decisions.

Abstract
BACKGROUND There is a demand for a flexible and individually tailored patient education to meet patients' specific needs and priorities, but this area has seldom been studied in patients with spondyloarthritis (SpA), a family of inflammatory rheumatic diseases. The aim of the present study was to identify needs and priorities in patient education in patients with SpA. A second aim was to investigate patients' experiences and preferences of receiving patient education. METHODS Data collection included a questionnaire survey with the Educational Needs Assessment Tool (ENAT) and interviews, using a mixed-methods design. Patients were identified through a specialist clinic register. Descriptive data are presented as mean with standard deviation, or frequencies. Chi-square test and independent-samples t-test were used for group comparisons. A manifest qualitative conventional content analysis was conducted to explore patients' experiences and needs in patient education, based on two focus groups (n = 6) and five individual interviews. RESULTS Almost half (43%) of the 183 SpA patients had educational needs, particularly regarding aspects of self-help, feelings, and the disease process. More educational needs were reported by women and in patients with higher disease activity, while duration of disease did not affect the needs. The qualitative analysis highlighted the importance of obtaining a guiding, reliable, and easily available patient education for management of SpA. Individual contacts with healthcare professionals were of importance, but newer media were also requested. CONCLUSION There are considerable educational needs in patients with SpA, and education concerning self-help, feelings, and the diseases process were raised as important issues. Healthcare professionals need to consider the importance of presenting varied formats of education based on the experiences and preferences of patients with SpA.

Abstract
Self-efficacy has been shown to be related to sick leave and to be a predictor of return to work after sickness absence. The aim of this study was to investigate whether factors related to sick leave predict self-efficacy in women on long-term sick leave because of pain and/or mental illness. This cross-sectional study uses baseline data from 337 Swedish women with pain and/or mental illness. All included women took part in vocational rehabilitation. Data were collected through a sick leave register and a baseline questionnaire. General self-efficacy, sociodemographics, self-rated health, anxiety, depression, view of the future, and social support were measured and analyzed by univariate and multivariate linear regression analyses. The full multivariate linear regression model, which included mental health factors together with all measured factors, showed that anxiety and depression were the only predictive factors of lower self-efficacy (adjusted R2=0.46, P<0.001) and explained 46% of the variance in self-efficacy. The mean scores of general self-efficacy were low, especially in women born abroad, those with low motivation, those with uncertainties about returning to work, and women reporting distrust. Anxiety and depression are important factors to consider when targeting self-efficacy in vocational rehabilitation.
