Treatment Satisfaction and Decision-making from the Patient Perspective in Axial Spondyloarthritis: Real-World Data from a Descriptive Cross-sectional Survey Study from the ArthritisPower Registry.

In this cross-sectional study of a predominantly female axSpA population, patients frequently researched treatment options and discussed escalation with their providers. Under two-thirds of participants who were dissatisfied with treatment discussed changes at their most recent visit. Current bDMARD use was associated with higher satisfaction, and bDMARD users considered prevention of long-term consequences and doctor's advice to be very important for decision-making.
