About this study

Official title: Observational Registry (BioSTaR) Including Demographic and Clinical Data of Patients Diagnosed With Rheumatoid Arthritis and Spondyloarthritis Using a Biological and Targeted Synthetic Disease Modifying Drug

In this study, investigators aimed to observe the examination findings, laboratory findings and drugs used in routine polyclinic controls of the participants using biological and targeted synthetic disease-modifying antirheumatic drug (DMARD) and the doses and side effects of these drugs. The aim of this registry is to evaluate the real-life data of participants receiving these medications. Analysis of treatment follow-up, drug changes, causes of change, treatment-related paradoxic / immune reactions, compliance with adult vaccination programs, nutritional profiles, presence of metabolic syndrome, fertility status, pregnancy outcomes, and vitamin D levels will be recorded in the outpatient clinic. Rheumatoid Arthritis Impact of Disease, Psoriatic Arthritis Impact of Disease (RAID and PSAID indexes), Work Productivity and Activity Impairment Questionnaire (WPAI), drug compliance, central sensitization and fall risk will be evaluated with verbal evaluation forms performed at policlinic controls in patients with spondyloarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis. It is planned to conduct scientific analyzes and publish on various subjects from the recorded information on this registration system.

Patients using biological and targeted synthetic DMARD treatments are closely monitored and evaluated in many ways due to the risk profiles and various characteristics of the drugs. With this registry system, it is aimed to evaluate the real-life data of the participants using these drugs. Real-life data are very valuable in monitoring the disease and the drugs.

The study is observational and there is no expected risk since no intervention is planned.

    Measured: 24 weeks

  3. Disease activity-SpA2

    BASDAI score will be calculated

    Measured: 24 weeks
