title: Spondyloarthritis. Treat-to-target in spondyloarthritis--do we have a plan?
abstract: Clinicians now have the therapies and outcome tools to implement treat-to-target strategies aimed at achieving and maintaining adequate function and control of symptoms in spondyloarthritis and psoriatic arthritis. However, validation of surrogate markers of structural progression is a prerequisite for treat-to-target strategies aimed at improving long-term outcomes such as joint damage.
