However, the majority of data on which the criterion of age at onset Methods Analyses were applied to patients from 24 countries across the world with an axSpA diagnosis and known age at onset of axial complaints. Cumulative probability plots were used to display the cumulative distribution of age at onset of axial symptoms. Linear regression models were built to assess the effect of HLA-B27 and gender on age at onset of axial symptoms. Results Of 2579 axSpA patients, 92% had an age at onset of axial symptoms PB Oxford univ press SN 1462-0324 YR 2021 FD 2021-09-22 LK https://hdl.handle.net/10668/25529 UL https://hdl.handle.net/10668/25529 LA en DS RISalud RD Apr 17, 2025
