@Janetbirdope @eular_org @RheumNow @CRASCRRheum @earlyarthritis Good question. I suspect it may be a class effect but would be good to see H2H btw JAKs one day. If selective JAK 1 inhibition provides more, less or same efficacy is still not clear to me

Don’t forget significant fibrosis with ILD has +RCT with nintedanib INBUILD study. Lots of buzz of RA ILD where MTX is OK, TNFi may have more ILD than other bDMARDs, biomatkers KL-6 @eular_org OP0038 #EULAR2020 @CRASCRRheum https://t.co/OihF3LmNYQ

NPSLE is more than a headache! probs with dx, uncertain Rx, overlap with common probs - infection, pain, fibromyalgia, drug side effects, etc. Spectrum in NPSLE just like SLE has a spectrum of cutaneous findings T Huizanga discusses @eular_org #EULAR2020 @RheumNow @CRASCRRheum https://t.co/sdw0xavWBq

Dan Clauw: obese patients with chronic pain reported improved pain levels very early with low calorie diet, long before weight loss, suggesting the diet may be having a more direct effect. https://t.co/aZDOtBd9mz

Majority are correct. 1/3 of SAPHO meet PsA criteria esp if no osteitis @RheumNow @eular_org @CRASCRRheum @earlyarthritis #EULAR2020 https://t.co/B9wp8JxWpI

What % of SAPHO pts do you think have PsA? More if synovitis Less if osteitis #EULAR2020 @eular_org @RheumNow @CRASCRRheum AB0038

Can we predict which RA pts will have secondary failure to TNFi in advance?
B-cell activating factor (BAFF) may play a role, and in age >54, pre-TNFi BAFF levels predict anti-drug Ab.
A potential step toward better drug survival?

MTX in GCA (+/- TCZ): can GiACTA data provide insights?
MTX didn't add anything from data provided, but channelling bias a definite issue (note PNL numerically higher in non-MTX).
MTX as adjunct/cover post-TCZ? We'll need to test for it properly

Predictors of not achieving remission in early RA, in Canadian CATCH cohort vary by sex:
men: seropos, smokers
women: obesity, TJC, lower education
Different mechanisms of poor outcomes in early RA in men and women?

The link between periodontal disease & anti-CCP seroconversion is well known, but does it affect progression from arthralgias to synovitis after that?
@LeedsBRC data says yes for localised periodontitis.
Got CCP+ arthralgia? Don't forget to floss!

Primary Sjogren’s syndrome showed benefit of leflunomide + #Hydroxychloroquine vs placebo - past neg RCT of HCQ for PSS Sicca (dry eyes/mouth) so is it just leflunomide that works or combo? Likely pt selection - arthritis and rash likely respond to either @RheumNow @CRASCRRheum https://t.co/lsIeG2uv2H

For a drug that everything in RA has been built on, we're not great at predicting who will respond to methotrexate.
It's probably because we don't have all the info. Adding pharmacogenomics increased optimal AI prediction from 55% to 76%

Filgo reduces PsA markers OP0224. ? Unique to filgo, a JAK1 effect , class effect or part of any effective PsA Rx or some of the above? @eular_org @RheumNow @CRASCRRheum @earlyarthritis #EULAR2020 https://t.co/2O5wsLPNl2
