#ACR22 Plenary 1. Abstr#0001 Another important use of #methotrexate. MIRROR RCT showed greater response in pegloticase + MTX vs pegloticase + PBO and lower infusion reaction. Be interesting to define MTX dose and ?other DMARDs esp in patients with CKD @RheumNow #ACRBest https://t.co/xkP6ZZGQfu

MIRROR results showed 12-month safety/efficacy support MTX co-therapy w/ pegloticase. No IRs after 6mo of tx and increased resolution of tophi at wk 52. I use MTX in my gout pts on Pegloticase. Are you #rheumtwitter? Abs 0001 #ACR22 @RheumNow https://t.co/FLwOmAYrS4

Role of acquired mutations in #gout
Risk factor for gout CHIP?
Individuals with CHIP are more likely to developed acute episodes of gouty episodes
More IL-1B in cells with somatic mutations like CHIP

CHIP- need to know! Somatic mutations fondly known as CHIP - not the salty ones. Clonal hematopoeisis of uncertain significance. Older Pts getting somatic mutations account for more CVS, malignancies , one change in TET2 increased gout #ACR2022 @RheumNow John Barga Yr in Review https://t.co/6bnqnkDFpL

MTX increases pegloticase efficacy in MIRROR trial. Similar safety too. Shame the cost of pegloticase is prohibitive in Australia...

Population study shows among vaccinated gout pts, COVID breakthrough infection occurred in @ 4.68/1K Pt-mos vs 3.76/1K Pt-mos in non-Gout persons. Gout w/ Covid had More Hosp (aHR=1.30) & death (aHR=1.36), moreso in Women w/ gout (aHR 1.55 & 2.46) https://t.co/ViwiPzqTbZ https://t.co/BrXd6pbgRI

Single center study from UAB shows 72 gout pts treated & D/C from ED were Rx w/ steroids (64%), opioids (63%), NSAIDs (43%), colchicine (32%). But only 26/72 (36%) had subsequent outpatient clinic visit for gout. https://t.co/I8jjqIqJXd https://t.co/05YSibd6iz
