In early axial SpA, clinical outcomes (disease activity and symptoms) were worse in women than men over 6 years of follow-up, whereas CRP was similar and structural damage was more frequent in men. Although similarly distributed, disease activity scores were higher in women in high/very high disease activity trajectories. Sex appears to be an important contextual factor in axial SpA.
