Objectives The aim of our study was to identify the potential distinct phenotypes within a broad SpA population. Methods We conducted a cross-sectional study using the REGISPONSER registry, which has data from 31 specialist centres in Spain, including patients with SpA who have fulfilled the ESSG criteria. A latent class analysis (LCA) was performed to identify the latent classes underlying SpA according to a set of predefined clinical and radiographic features, independently of expert opinion. Results In a population of 2319 SpA patients, a five-classes LCA model yielded the best fit. Classes named 'Axial with spine involvement' and 'Axial with isolated SI joint involvement' showed a primarily axial SpA phenotype defined by inflammatory back pain and high HLA-B27 prevalence. Patients in class 'Axial + peripheral' showed a similar distribution of manifest variables to previous classes but also had a higher likelihood of peripheral involvement (peripheral arthritis/dactylitis) and enthesitis, therefore representing a mixed (axial and peripheral) subtype. Classes 'Peripheral + psoriasis' and 'Axial + peripheral + psoriasis' were indicative of peripheral SpA (and/or PsA) with high likelihood of psoriasis, peripheral involvement, dactylitis, nail disease, and low HLA-B27 prevalence, while class 'Axial + peripheral + psoriasis' also exhibited increased probability of axial involvement both clinically and radiologically. Conclusion The identification of five latent classes in the REGISPONSER registry with significant overlap between axial and peripheral phenotypes is concordant with a unifying concept of SpA. Psoriasis and related features (nail disease and dactylitis) influenced the phenotype of both axial and peripheral manifestations. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
