In 2 lupus cohorts (n=619), 1 in 4 had mismatch between self-reported & measured physical function.
Higher BMI, disease activity & depression linked to underreporting ability ➡️ self-report ≠ performance! Important for SLE care & research. @RheumNow #ACR25 https://t.co/kMlChreJPh

ADA-biosimilar use surged just before CVS formulary change then dropped sharply after. In RISE data, uptake reached 25% of users overall. Formulary policies reshape prescribing, but sustaining adoption needs alignment with patient access and preferences.

A post-hoc analysis from the ReFlaP study showed that there was a significant correlation between PsAID12 & HAQ scores
MDA-PsAIDrem (SN 82.6% SP97.1%) and MDA-PsAIDlow (SN 90.7% SP 91.2%)
Potential alternative for HAQ in MDA criteria?

In this MTX+PNL vs TCZ+PNL in GCA study, we saw 5 pts on MTX+PNL get PJP, very surprising.
@EBRheum asked what I knew/hoped he’d ask: why did this happen?
PJP is v rare in GCA
(https://t.co/oPN0dpvG8Q) & with MTX in other diseases.
Worth interrogation!

Semaglitide did help in weight loss and decrease in pain in knee OA
https://t.co/240sR5An3m
#acr25 @rheumnow
Question is that is the pain decrease is secondary to weight loss or an independent effect? https://t.co/R2v5YDP3A5

GLP-1 receptor agonists reduce mortality in PsA
Tsibadze et al retrospectively compared ~4k PsA on GLP-1 to ~86k PsA not
After propensity matching, those treated with GLP-1:
- lower risk MACE
- lower risk overall death
