Abstract

Rheumatic diseases (RDs) encompass a diverse group of systemic inflammatory conditions of autoimmune origin. These diseases, such as rheumatoid arthritis (RA), spondyloarthritis (SpA), and connective tissue diseases, affect millions of people globally. They significantly reduce quality of life and can lead to severe disability and premature death.
