The following characteristics were significantly associated with variation in prevalence of SpA, AS, and\/or PsA: proportion of females, mean age of the sample, geographic area and setting (demographic characteristics), year of data collection, case finding, and case ascertainment (methodologic characteristics). For the other SpA subgroups, too few studies were available to conduct a meta\u2010analysis, but prevalence estimates of reactive arthritis (range 0.0\u20130.2%), SpA related to inflammatory bowel disease (range 0.0\u20130.1%), and undifferentiated SpA (range 0.0\u20130.7%) were generally low.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>SpA is a common disease, but with large variation in reported prevalence estimates, which can partly be explained by differences in demographic and methodologic characteristics.
