Our RA patients are susceptible to a dangerous virus which runs rampant, but won't take the vaccine.
Why won't patients have their flu shot? @McGillMed 40% hesitant despite public funding. Multiple levels influence; if we don't address, our pts suffer!

Dr Hahn reports that healthy lifestyle is associated with reduced risk of incident RA. In 107,090 women those with the healthiest lifestyle had HR 0.42 for developing RA compared to those with the least healthy @rheumnow #ACR20 Abstr#1471 https://t.co/4BWMbBMnBN

-Highly prevalent across RA, PsA, gout & OA
-Highest burden in #gout
Important study highlighting need to recognise burden of MM in #rheumatology patients for holistic optimised management.

Dr England presents on multimorbidity in RA, PsA, gout, and OA within RISE registry. Highly prevalent in all 4 but most pronounced in gout and RA. Critical to recognise and manage. @rheumnow #ACR20 Abstr#1466 https://t.co/XtwIfJnVXV

Are you talking RA patients about vaccination? Abst#1465 shows S pneumonia vaccinations decreases pna by nearly half in <65 yo, as well as effectiveness in elderly. Theme of day: approach ifn and CV risk are best rheum interventions! @Rheumnow #ACR20 https://t.co/ZilXfFWTUM

Coal mining is associated with developing RA, but what is it about it?
It's the silica. The more silica and the longer exposed, the more likely. Hopefully, one day, we'll get be able to prevent this...

Diet and risk of RA: there's a link, but how healthily do you need to eat?
Benefit keeps on going up to... let's say healthier than your correspondent. No conference burger tonight😐
(benefit goes up to top 11% in study)

Abst#1462 shows coal mining and non-coal silica exposure with increased risk of RA with OR ~4. Great study, not a surprise that toxin exposures linked to autoimmunity. #ACR20 @RheumNow. https://t.co/OnwVUfoRCU

Dr Trupin presents further data on link between silica exposure and coal mining in particular with development of incident RA. Duration and intensity of exposure both associated with increased risk. @rheumnow #ACR20 Abstr#1462 https://t.co/5SpqElhlZN

Can hs-troponin and hsCRP predict future major cardiovascular events? Certainly appears so in RA pts (n=636).
To what extent do subclinical dx and inflammation combine to cause future RA CV pain?

The lung-joint axis in RA just keeps on getting stronger
Lung ACPA present in early untreated RA/CSA:
crossreact acetylated/carbamylated antigens
differ in effects on cell types (neut activation, fibroblasts, osteoclasts)
Isn't lung ACPA fascinating?
