Additional remarks Axiale spondylartritis komt voor bij ongeveer 1 op de 200 mensen. Dit zijn in Nederland ongeveer 95.000 mensen (1). De inschatting is dat ongeveer 8.000 patiënten anti-TNF medicatie kregen in 2021, waarvan 1.000 op interleukine remmers. De verwachting is dat er 300 tot 400 patiënten in aanmerking zullen komen voor bimekizumab (2). Dit aantal zal na verloop van tijd nog hoger kunnen oplopen.
