What this trial studies

This observational study aims to establish a specialized cohort of spondyloarthritis (SpA) patients at Nanfang Hospital, where clinical condition scales, laboratory indicators, and imaging data will be collected during routine follow-up visits. The cohort will archive disease characteristics, biochemical index data, and disease assessment scales without imposing any interventional treatments or additional tests on patients. Data will include disease duration, symptom characteristics, comorbidities, and various imaging results, creating a comprehensive dataset for future analysis of SpA. The study will span from 2010 to 2030, capturing both prospective and retrospective data.
