How can AI be useful for RA pts and rheumatologists? -AI models have the potential for improving diagnosis, management and outcomes in RA pts. -Can also improve efficiency and clinic workflow. -Not so perfect as it sounds (hallucinations, limited accuracy) #RNL2025 @RheumNow https://t.co/44LUHQ1KPf

AI models require good Positive Predictive Value (PPV) But: PPV decreases as prevalence decreases - In choosing a successful biologic: Harder to predict more challenging patients (multiple failures, co-morbidities, etc) - ACR50 non-response is higher J Curtis @RheumNow #RNL2025 https://t.co/SdJ0FHVuSC

Late onset RA (LORA) aka RA diagnosed at an older age — pts have higher inflammatory markers, presents like PMR; they also have polypharmacy, comorbidities, frailty, etc that can complicate management @UnaMakris #RNL2025 @RheumNow #GeriRheum https://t.co/zqEcyg2ejw

@UnaMakris #RNL25 @RheumNow Older patients w RA 1/3 of pts onset >60-65 - More acute onset, more systemic, more PMR-like, larger jts - Higher IL-6, lower TNF-a, less RF, higher ESR -Co-morbidities, polypharmacy, cognition, depression Age does not equal frailty, but does correlate https://t.co/5qb60WyKkP
