dc.description.abstract | Introduction: This study aimed to assess high
healthcare utilization over 1 year in patients
with axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA)and factors
associated with increased healthcare utilization.
Methods: A total of 530 unselected patients
with axSpA from the Atlas of Axial Spondyloarthritis in Spain—who had used at least one
healthcare resource—were included in the present study. Total health care utilization was
obtained from the total number of healthcare
visits, medical tests, hospital admissions and
emergency visits, during the 12 months prior to
the survey. Linear regression was used to
analyse possible factors associated with higher
healthcare utilization.
Results: A total of 530 patients with axSpA
participated in this study: mean age was
45.3 years and 51.1% were female. In the previous 12 months, 77.9% (n = 530) used at least
one healthcare resource, with the median
healthcare utilization at 25. In the multiple
linear regression, the only categorical factor
associated with higher healthcare utilization
was female gender (b = 12.854), while the continuous factors associated with higher healthcare utilization were higher disease activity
(b = 3.378), longer diagnostic delay (b = 0.959),
younger age (b = - 0.737) and greater functional limitation (b = 0.576).
Conclusion: Half of patients with axSpA used
25 or more healthcare resources during 1 year.
Higher healthcare utilization was associated
with younger age, female gender, greater disease
activity, higher functional limitation and
longer diagnostic delay. Optimal monitoring of
patients with axSpA may help to reduce their
healthcare utilization. | es |
