Patients and methods: This study examined 124 adult patients with IBD. The evaluation encompassed both axial and peripheral SpA. Information pertaining to the patients ' age, gender, age at the time of IBD and SpA diagnosis, symptoms of inflammatory low back pain (iLBP), dactylitis, peripheral arthritis, history of uveitis, pelvic X-ray, sacroiliac joint magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), ankylosing spondylitis disease actviity score (ASDAS) and Bath ankylosing spondylitis disease actvity index (BASDAI) were compiled. Results: The IBD patients were 82 having ulcerative colitis (UC) and 42 Crohns disease (CD). 58 (46.8 %) were female and 66 (53.2 %) males. 36 (29 %) were diagnosed with SpA, 18 males and 18 females. The age of the patients was 49 +/- 11.2 years (18 -74 years). The duration of IBD was 5.96 +/- 5.54 years (1 -29 years). Sacroiliitis was assessed in 60 (48.3 %) patients using MRI. None of the patients had psoriasis or uveitis. Dactylitis was present in 1.6 % and enthesitis in 8 % of patients with IBD. In UC group, 18 (21.9 %) were diagnosed with SpA and in CD group, 18 (42.8 %) had SpA. No significant relationship was found between the diagnosis of UC/CD and the general SpA group. Conclusion: A considerable number of individuals with IBD also experience SpA. Any delay in diagnosing enteropathic arthritis could lead to functional limitations. Therefore, timely diagnosis is crucial to facilitate optimal treatment.en10.1016/j.ejr.2024.07.001info:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessEnteropathic arthritisInflammatory bowel diseaseSpondyloarthritisArticle464171174N/AWOS:0012658515000012-s2.0-85197119169Q4
