So many, all with different instructions.
Let’s concentrate on where they agree:

#OP0279 #EULAR2022 Let's start with N=5! Promising new therapy CAR T-cell in #lupus. All patients were refractory to various therapies and had active nephritis. Post-treatment, all responded clinically and serologically! Need to go to RCT next @RheumNow https://t.co/RaTlVALQqn

Teng et al BLISS-BELIEVE Biomarker outcome RCT Sequential belimumab-rituximab in SLE. Certainly appears to be a serologic benefit on dsDNA, C3/4. But we need clinical parameters to correlate with this. @RheumNow #EULAR2022 OP0281 https://t.co/iEeSN0SNcr https://t.co/HN8ya4QZLU

#POS0757 #EULAR2022 What is the perception of #lupus patients on #COVID19 recovery? A survey of 202 pts from BILAG-BR (N=20 case+, 3 hospitalised) reported full recovery from covid in only 1/3 of patients. These pts would need extra support @RheumNow https://t.co/SdH223Lfoa

Schett et al. CAR-T in SLE, case series 4 patients. Effective in inducing clinical remission in all 4 refractory patients. Looks like #rheummadness may have been (almost) correct @DavidLeverenz ! @RheumNow #EULAR2022 OP0279 https://t.co/frAU8COFs8

#PEARLS by Dr. Werth:
1. anti-malarials only work 50% of time for cutaneous lupus (CLE).
2. AZP is not as effective as MTX or MMF for #CLE
3. Consider RTX refractory #bullous lupus #EULAR2022 @rheumnow https://t.co/6FPJEGWioJ

Hilarious debate #EULAR2022 between Christian Dejaco and Robert Landewe on whether telemedicine is the future of rheumatology. In amongst the trash talking, here are some highlights @RheumNow

#PEARLS by EULAR President Prof Iagnocco:
1. Enthesitis can be present in 25% of #SLE patients
2. Erosions can be common and independent of ACPA/RF status
3. Active myositis is indistinguishable from IIM
4. Don't forget pain osteonecrosis/osteomyelitis #EULAR2022 @rheumnow https://t.co/8uWCw9rEve

Staggering facts by Prof Vital on #SLE and SkM Sx’s:
- 50% of first Sx’s is SkM
- SkM Sx are in top 3 concerns for pts
- 34% pts w/SkM Sx stopped working median 4 yrs
- SkM damage clusters with CVD damage

“#SLEDAI should be scored when there is joint swelling (not just tenderness)—note that only 48% of pts with tenderness will have u/s evidence of inflammation” – Prof E Vital #EULAR2022 @rheumnow https://t.co/hhsZ9wMAWs

OP0283 MMF vs CYP for induction of remission #LupusNephritis. Real world Beijing cohort. n=360 50% Rx naïve. CRR at 1 yr was more common in MMF, esp proliferative LN. GI & infection more common w/CYP. Lower prednisone dose and Urinary protein seen in MMF #EULAR2022 @rheumnow https://t.co/4P43j1rApF
