Methods DESIR is a prospective observational cohort of patients with recent onset inflammatory back pain suggestive of axial SpA. All available variables in the database were compared between patients with and without IBD at baseline and 5 years, and occurrence over 5 years of follow-up, with uni and then multivariable analysis. Results At baseline, 708 patients, 35 had IBD : prevalence 4.94% [CI 95% : 3.3 – 6.5]. IBD was associated (multivariable) with history of uveitis, levels of DKK-1 and TNF, but not with phenotypic presentation (peripheral arthritis, enthesitis, dactylitis, uveitis) or baseline serum levels of other cytokines. At 5 years, 480 patients were analyzed, 58 with IBD. IBD was associated (multivariable) with fulfillment of modified New York criteria, sick leave, BASDAI, and smoking. No association with MRI scores, enthesitis, psoriasis, BMD. 23 incident cases of IBD were recorded: estimated occurrence rate of 0.95/100 [0.57 – 1.35] patient-years. Incidence of IBD is associated (multivariable) with : HLA B27 : OR 0.36 [0.22 – 0.59], fulfillment of modified New York criteria: OR 3.35 [1.85 – 6.08], familial history of IBD : OR 3.31[1.62 – 6.77] . Conclusion in early SpA, IBD occurs with an incidence of 1/100 patient-years, and is associated with poor outcome, familial history of IBD, absence of HLA-B27, fulfillment of modified New York criteria.
