Results are expressed as the median (minimum, maximum), unless otherwise specified. Significance obtained by the chi-square test for qualitative variables and Kruskal–Wallis test for ordinal variables (Mann–Whitney as post hoc test). *Significant differences (P < 0.05) vs AS. **Significant differences (P < 0.05) vs Ps-SpA.
