Abstract
AbstractDue to the pain, fatigue, and loss of mobility associated with their disease, patients with axSpA often struggle to meet the demands of employment, which can lead to higher rates of unemployment, sick leave (absenteeism), and impairment while at work (presenteeism) compared with the general population (Boonen et al. Ann Rheum Dis 69:1123–1128, 2010;Boonen et al. Ann Rheum Dis 60:1033–1039, 2001;; Mau et al. J Rheumatol 32:721–728, 2005; Healey et al. Scand J Rheum 40:34–40, 2011).
