Sažetak
Background: Fibromyalgia (FM) is very common clinical problem in inflammatory rheumatic diseases. Concomitant fibromyalgia may influence on disease activity, functional status and quality of life, and its recognition is important for the management of these diseases.Objectives: The aim of this study was to determine the frequency of FM in patients with axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA) and psoriatic arthritis (PsA) and to evaluate the effect of fibromyalgia on the outcome measures of these diseases.Methods: This two-center cross-sectional study included patients aged≥18 years, who were diagnosed with axSpA, PsA and FM by the rheumatologist. Patients with axial form of psoriatic arthritis were excluded. Clinical assessments included BASDAI and BASFI for axSpA group, HAQ-DI and DAS28 for PsA group. VAS and the Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI) were performed for both group.Results: The study included 22 axSpA patients and 22 PsA patients. Out of 44 patients, 20 (45, 5%) were males and 24 (54, 5%) were females , with a mean age of 51±11, 7. Fibromyalgia was present in 18, 18% of axSpA patients and in 22, 73% of PsA patients (p=0, 500). No difference in the prevalence of FM was found between male and female (p=0, 332). BASDAI and DAS28 scores were higher in patients with coexisting FM (p=0, 001). Patients with FM had higher values of BASFI (p=0, 001) and HAQ-DI indexes (p=0, 003), higher VAS pain score (p=0, 001) and higher BAI anxiety score (p=0, 007). Conclusion: Patients with axSpA and PsA with concomitant FM had higher disease activity, a worse functional status, more severe pain and higher levels of anxiety.
