Researchers at Nanfang Hospital are building a large database of medical information from people with spondyloarthritis—a group of inflammatory conditions affecting the spine and joints. Instead of testing a new medication or asking you to do extra appointments or tests, the study collects information from your regular hospital visits and medical records to track how the disease changes over time and how patients respond to their usual treatments.
Spondyloarthritis is a chronic disease that varies greatly from person to person, and doctors need better information about how it progresses and what factors affect outcomes. By studying real-world patient data over many years, researchers hope to improve how the disease is diagnosed, monitored, and treated.

If you join, you will simply continue your regular appointments at the hospital as usual. Researchers will gather information from your medical visits—such as your symptoms, test results, imaging scans, and how well your current treatments are working—and add it to a research database. You won't need extra appointments or tests beyond what your doctor already prescribes. The study may include past visits (going back to 2010) and future visits through 2030.
