Without proper monitoring, these conditions can lead to joint deformities, premature wear, mobility loss, and in severe cases, significant joint destruction requiring surgical intervention.

Patients with autoimmune diseases face higher healthcare costs and productivity losses from joint damage; early intervention increases near-term medical expenses but reduces long-term disability costs and improves workforce participation and quality of life.
Governments should prioritize early screening programs for autoimmune diseases, fund multidisciplinary care centers, and integrate rheumatology-orthopedic services in public health systems to reduce preventable disability and associated social costs.
