RA is more common in women than in men, affecting approximately
75 of every 100,000 people. RA in many cases results in partial or
total disability and is associated with a shortened life expectancy.Spondyloarthritis encompasses a group of inflammatory arthritides
characterized by spinal and peripheral joint oligoarthritis and
enthesitis (fibrosis and calcification at the point of attachment
between muscle and bone). This family of diseases includes ankylosing
spondylitis (AS), psoriatic arthritis, enteropathic arthritis (associated
with inflammatory bowel disease), reactive arthritis, and undifferentiated
spondyloarthropathy.In the United States, 200,000 total hip replacements..."
