    Abstract "Disease modification" in axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA) seeks to not only alleviate clinical symptoms but also alter the disease's natural course by impeding new bone formation. Recent years have witnessed the effectiveness of treatments, including biologics and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, in managing axSpA symptoms. Emerging evidence points toward their potential impact on slowing structural disease progression. This comprehensive review centers on the pivotal role of inhibiting new bone formation in axSpA disease modification. It delves into the significance of imaging techniques for assessing disease progression and explores the disease-modifying properties of available axSpA treatments, encompassing NSAIDs, TNF inhibitors, IL-17 inhibitors, and JAK inhibitors. This article offers valuable insights into the evolving landscape of disease modification strategies in axial spondyloarthritis, highlighting the multifaceted approaches used to attain these objectives.

    Abstract Background: Prolonged social isolation as a result of the COVID-19 global pandemic has been a source of considerable psychological distress for many people. This can manifest in many ways and if left undetected can impact negatively on general health. It is essential to understand the impact of these conditions on inflammatory arthritis (IA) patients, especially axial spondyloarthropathy (axSpA).
    Aim: To capture the level of psychological distress for patients with IA following prolonged social isolation.
    Methods: A survey was sent out to patients with a confirmed diagnosis of IA. This captured changes in sleep, mood, disease activity, employment and general health since the beginning of the social isolation period. A PHQ-4 (Patient Health Questionnaire) was included to determine level of psychological distress.
    Results: Females with IA reported significantly higher rates of decline in general health (40% vs 16%, p = 0.01), mood disturbance (43.4% vs 26%, p = 0.03) and increased disease activity (50% vs 16%, p = 0.01) compared to males. Evaluating the mean PHQ-4 scores, no significant difference was noted between genders (4.80 vs 3.44, p = 0.10). However, females demonstrated a non-significant trend toward increased rates of moderate to severe psychological distress (40% vs 30%, p = 0.13). Subanalysis of patients with axSpA found high rates of moderate to severe distress in both genders.
    Conclusions: Females with IA reported significantly higher rates of decline in general health, mood disturbance and increased disease activity during the period of social isolation. This was reflected in a trend towards greater levels of psychological distress.

    Abstract Introduction: Fatigue and Activity Management Education for Work (FAME-W) is a four-week, occupational therapy led programme focussing on fatigue management strategies. FAME-W was designed to be delivered in person; however, due to COVID-19 pandemic it was modified to be an online group-based self-management intervention. The purpose of this study was to test the feasibility and acceptability of the online delivery format of FAME-W.
    Methods: This was a mixed methods study. Participants were randomly allocated to intervention or control group. Participants in the intervention group received a four-week online FAME-W. The control group participants received a FAME-W handbook. Participants were required to complete questionnaires on work presenteeism, fatigue, mood, Health Related Quality of Life and pain at baseline, and 3 months post-intervention. Participants in the intervention group attended a focus group immediately following the completion of the programme and the control group participated in individual interviews.
    Results: Seven of ten individuals recruited participated in the study. Majority of participants had Rheumatoid Arthritis and were working full-time. The mean age of intervention participants was 53 ± 10.4 and 56.5 ± 3.7 for the controls. All participants in the intervention group had 100% attendance, completed all study measures and activities. Participants had positive comments about the programme format, content, and delivery. Improvements were observed in most measures at follow up.
    Conclusion: Results suggest that an online programme to improve work ability was feasible and acceptable to individuals with inflammatory arthritis. The online delivery format was favoured over attending a centre-based programme. The findings support a definitive intervention trial of online FAME-W.

    Abstract Objective: To determine (1) the prevalence of central obesity in axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA) and its effect on disease-related outcomes and (2) how this differs between sexes.
    Methods: Data were extracted from the Ankylosing Spondylitis Registry of Ireland. Patients with physical measurements for the calculation of anthropometric measures were included. BMI and waist-to-hip ratio (WHR) were used to compare classifications of obesity. Comparison analyses based on sex and central obesity were carried out. Multivariate analysis examined the effects of these factors on the following patient-reported outcomes: the Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis Disease Activity Index (BASDAI), the Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis Functional Index (BASFI), the Ankylosing Spondylitis Quality of Life (ASQoL) questionnaire, and the Health Assessment Questionnaire (HAQ).
    Results: In total, 753 patients were included in the analysis. Of these patients, 29.6% (n = 223) were classified as obese based on their BMI, and 41.3% (n = 311) were classified as centrally obese according to the WHR. The prevalence of central obesity was significantly higher among women with axSpA compared to men (71.6% vs 29.9%,
    Conclusion: There was a high prevalence of central obesity as assessed by the WHR in axSpA, most notably among women with axSpA. This modifiable comorbidity was significantly associated with worse quality of life, greater impairment of functional ability, and a trend toward worse disease activity. Regular use of the WHR to screen for central obesity as part of an axSpA assessment would provide an opportunity for prompt identification and intervention for at-risk patients.
