dc.description.abstractPurpose of Review: To discuss the disease incidence and prevalence rates of axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA) and ankylosing spondylitis (AS) relative to those of rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Recent Findings: According to the most recently published systematic reviews, pooled prevalence estimates for RA are 0.38% in North America, and 0.21 to 0.25% in European subregions, while that of AS is 0.20% in North America and 0.25% in Europe. The estimated prevalence of axSpA has been reported to be approximately twice as common as AS in a study from the USA. This finding has also been supported by studies from northern Norway, central Italy, western Turkey, northern and southern regions of China, and rural Taiwan. These data suggest that axSpA, that encompasses AS, may be more prevalent than RA, at least in some countries. Summary: In general, higher occurrences of RA relative to AS have been noted worldwide, both in terms of incidence and prevalence. But axSpA, that encompasses AS, may be more prevalent than RA, at least in some countries. There is a need for concurrently run studies in the same population for a reliable comparison to establish occurrence of RA, AS, and axSpA. It is hoped that the implementation of the ICD-11 codes for axSpA will be helpful in determining a more accurate estimate of its incidence and prevalence. © 2020, Springer Science+Business Media, LLC, part of Springer Nature.
