AOSD: Young vs. Elderly Onset

Bella Mehta, MBBS, MS Jun 01, 2023

Adult onset still's disease (AOSD) is an autoinflammatory condition characterized by fevers, arthritis, and rash. It is considered an orphan disease because of its low prevalence - it is reported anywhere between 16 to 40 per ten million.

The key data for treating clinically suspect arthralgias (CSA): TREAT-EARLIER (MTX) ARIAA, APIPPRA (abatacept) but what we need to do going forward: stratify pts better for studies predict individual risk better, to weight up risk-benefit of intervention #EULAR2023 @RheumNow https://t.co/h3gNIyLxPY

Using app for self-management in clinical care. There is a need to have continued engagement both patients and clinicians, constantly evolve the product, adapt to the changing needs of patients eg.pre and post pandemic, #WIIFM? @AurelieRheumo @ProfYelizPrior #EULAR2023 @RheumNow https://t.co/5RKog9EMsV

Reflections on COVID-19 and autoimmunity: post-vaccination autoimmunity is not specific to COVID-19, autoimmunity is not autoimmune disease, the large numbers may result in the perception of increased occurrence of autoimmunity, Schulze-Koops H, COVID-19, #EULAR2023 @RheumNow https://t.co/Rm9OEWrBzo

The modern day poster tour #EULAR2023: the posters & speakers come to you, broadcast through a headset (it’s almost like a silent disco, in a hall with lots of background noise). Definite innovation but at capacity, wish more people could tune in on their own devices @RheumNow https://t.co/sOXnYctsfN

A shame. Pts with #scleroderma are dying waiting for organ transplant- we should list and work them up for Tx earlier. PAH Pts May do worse @eular_org #EULAR2023 @RheumNow OP0241 https://t.co/8ZlHJmETGA

Should we use #immunesuppression EARLY in #scleroderma to prevent #ILD? Answer from a study comparing Y vs N immune suppression- there was no difference in FVC decline. Maybe not a long enough study, ? Chanelling bias scleroderma #lung #disease OP0239 @RheumNow #EULAR2023

#ClinicalPearl Rx of #scleroderma #ILD -add another drug. MMF, then Cyclo, Rituximab, ?tocilizumab; if progressive fibrosis then #Nintedanib ?Pirfenidone Small RCT of MMF v Tacrolimus - looked the same -helpful if MMF fails, future pregnancy OP0240 @RheumNow #EULAR2023 @eular_org https://t.co/XWphyEO2JJ

An AI algorithm to predict opined related deaths UK database >1000000 pts, 1200+ opioids related deaths Risk factors: Substance used disorder Hx self harm Alcohol abuse Oxycodone Liver disease Concomitant gabapentinoids & BZD *no pictures allowed* @Rheumnow OP0269 #EULAR23 https://t.co/II96fnhqy3

Risks for #ILD #SSc lung progression. FVC decline >5% is the gold standard but there are other criteria. OP0236 #EULAR2023 @RheumNow @eular_org #scleroderma Some criteria are stricter - larger PFT changes and/or worsening symptoms or fibrosis, so depends on def’n for % def’n https://t.co/TCuX2KY64w

Very much looking forward to our joint PRP-HRP-Rheum session later today How to improve & implement apps for self management in clinical care @ElenaNikiUK @fibrofella @ProfYelizPrior We will discuss and reveal the results of a survey made for #EULAR23 @RheumNow @eular_org https://t.co/R5vTW3FeWO
