Abstract | Objectives: To compare the risk of five nonpulmonary infections leading to hospitalization between spondyloarthritis (SpA) and nonspecific back pain (NSBP), and to identify the risk factors. Methods: A total of 3018 patients with SpA and 2527 patients with NSBP were identified. Data from December 1995 to June 2019 was retrieved from a centralized electronic medical record system. The date of onset of five types of nonpulmonary infections including: urinary tract infection (UTI), skin infection, gastroenteritis (GE), septic arthritis, and pancreato-hepatobiliary tract infection were identified. Demographic data, comorbidities, and medications used were also retrieved. Comparative risk of each type of infection between SpA and NSBP was determined using propensity score adjustment method. Cox regression model was used to identified risk factors. Results: Patients with SpA were younger in age, predominantly male, with fewer comorbid diabetes mellitus (DM), renal impairment, and depression. Compared with NSBP, patients with SpA had higher risk of UTI (hazard ratio [HR] 1.91; p <.001), skin infection (HR 1.79; p <.001), and septic arthritis (HR 4.57; p =.04). Risk of GE (HR 1.42; p = 1.00), and pancreato-hepatobiliary tract infection (HR 1.67; p =.06) were not increased. Infliximab was an independent risk factor for UTI (HR 2.21; p =.04). Duration of steroid therapy >6 months (HR 2.22; p <.001), smoker (HR 1.81; p <.001), and psoriasis (HR 2.47; p <.001) were risk factors for skin infection. Conclusion: SpA was associated with increased risk of UTI, skin infection, and septic arthritis. Infliximab, prolonged steroid therapy, smoking, and psoriasis were associated risk factors. |
