What are the predictors of fracture in #SLE?
🦴Prednisone! Even at low doses ≤5mg
🦴Stroke
🦴Caucasian race
🦴Female
🦴Low BMD
Try to avoid steroid use. If they are needed, IM triamcinolone or IVMP preferable to oral GC.

Conaghan et al. LEVI-04, neurotrophin-3 inhibitor in knee OA. 518 patients. Significant improvements in WOMAC pain and function, and PGA. So sign of any increase in rapidly progressive OA (as with NGF inhibitors) @RheumNow #ACR24 Abstr#L15 https://t.co/qud4wTAikY https://t.co/0wjjG4U4bf

How long is a long acting #intra-articular #steroid #injection in #knee #osteoarthritis?
#IA steroids can be q3monthly
#RCT of IA #fluticasone #propionate
Was superior to #placebo
Seemed to last approx 24 weeks
➡️ sub analysis in moderate pain, BMI<30

#Artificial #Intelligence can detect #osteoporosis
On #CXR
To detect #thoracic #vertebral #fractures
> 100000 #chest #radiographs - test and validation cohorts found + results on ROC
Helpful -sometimes vertebral changes are
Not read on CXRs

Does adding a Clofutriben (HSD-1 inhibitor) w/ prednisone minimize the risks of steroid toxicities in #PMR patients?
VS placebo, PMR patients who received Clofutriben + Prednisone had substantial reductions in bone, lipid, and glycemic control parameters

The precise mechanism of action of GIOP is not known. Decrease in osteocyte LCN is observed. Abstr#2528 @RheumNow #ACR24 https://t.co/fazUUy03fQ

Older RA patients in RISE with high disease activity show a higher incidence of hip and major osteoporotic fractures. Practice T2T and monitor bone health closely!

Can we do more to routinely assess fracture risk in RA?
In RA pts ≥65, hip fracture & MOF are more common in pts with active disease, worse with higher disease activity
➡️Need better and more frequent bone health assessments in our RA pts
