This study highlights a significant proportion of undiagnosed IBD-related arthritis (5.6%). Enthesitis emerged as the predominant pattern of newly diagnosed arthritis in our cohort, likely due to the recent onset of symptoms. Our study underscores the importance of entheseal involvement in early IBD-related arthritis and the importance of incorporating entheseal involvement into screening questionnaires.
