The culmination of years of work by the Spondylitis Association of America (SAA), the American College of Rheumatology (ACR), and Spondyloarthritis Research and Treatment Network (SPARTAN), “The Axial SpA Treatment Guidelines” are presented at the American College of Rheumatology Scientific Meeting. These guidelines bring together cohesive treatment recommendations to be considered by U.S. rheumatologists in treating people diagnosed with the disease.
SAA funds research by Medical & Scientific Advisory Board member Joel Taurog, MD into the molecular basis for the association of ankylosing spondylitis with HLA-B27.
SAA is again awarded a 4-star rating from Charity Navigator for excellence in fiscal responsibility and transparency.
