An Epidemiological Survey of AS in Tromso, Norway
[HLA-B27 Prevalence 16%]
AS Prevalence = 1.1% to 1.4%.1
4 to 6 times more common in males (males: 1.9 - 2.2% and females: 0.3 - 0.6%)
6.7% of the B27(+) & 0.2% of B27(-) individuals had AS
22.5% of the B27(+) subjects with chronic back pain or stiffness had AS
In contrast: Total prevalence of RA in Troms county (in individuals aged >20) = 0.39% - 0.47%.2

Educating the Patients and their Families
Patient education enhances therapeutic compliance
An active participation by the patient is needed in treatment strategies
These strategies will fail if patient is not committed
Comprehensive management strategies include not only medical but also emotional and social support

AS: Patient Education
Physicians need to know how their patients are getting their health care information
It is easy for unscrupulous individuals and organizations to disseminate via the internet unaccountable or deceptive information, often anonymously into the hands of unsuspecting patients
Patient education should include a discussion about these aspects as well
![Page 22: Organizational Meeting for the AS-US Working Group Advancing Clinical Research in AS and SpA in the USA Spondylitis Association of America 20 Years of](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062309/56649de45503460f94adb7cd/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
AS: A Multidisciplinary Approach is Warranted
Need to work closely with patients and patient self-help organizations
to convince the health care authorities, insurance companies & other relevant organizations or institutions, the favorable long-term cost/benefit ratio of the newest is very effective although very costly therapies
