There's quite a bit of publication on the overlap of these areas (mainly SLE and AxSpa - keep in mind, bilateral sacroiliitis could be considered an AxSpa symptom):
Dr. McCrum is an international expert in this area of rheumatology Physiotherapy, and was previously involved on the NICE Guideline Development Group for Spondyloarthritis (2017) and WHO RA Intervention Guidance. π¦΅π½
Clinicians commonly lack diagnostic confidence in recognising features of axial, and peripheral spondyloarthritis, alongside inflammatory conditions including rheumatoid arthritis and psoriatic arthritis. Differences in the management of each of these conditions present further clinical challenges.
The identification of inflammatory back pain is commonly overlooked as part of clinical Physiotherapists' assessments, leading to delays in the diagnosis of Axial Spondyloarthritis with almost a third of patients diagnosed 6 years after onset, and others up to 8 years later (Dubreuil et al. 2025).
A great experience travelling to Bathurst Physiotherapy & Sports Injuries Centre for Dr. Carol McCrum's workshop: "Msk?...Think SpA! Recognition & referral of Spondyloarthritis". π©»
