Taylor et al. Novel blood assay for sero+ and sero- RA. Differentiates well from other diseases. May be very valuable for sero- RA diagnosis = sensitivity 83.7%, +LR 21.46, and -LR 0.17. Needs validation. Abstr#2586 #ACR23 @RheumNow https://t.co/jw41F8YohE https://t.co/kXi3km0b07

Last abstract of #ACR23 was #ACRBest
Plasma cfDNA signatures (synovial mapped) to identify RA vs OA, other inflamm arthritis
Great performance, even with seroneg RA
A blood test to:
diagnose
?phenotype
?identify best b/tsDMARD
Could be massive

Take home
Symptomatic #Rx of ACPA+ people WITH #DMARD is too late to alter risk of #RA when drug is d/c
AI to read joint erosions on X-ray May be ‘too little too late’
#Steroids in #RA increase #MACE even after d/c

Identifying GCA diagnosis and disease activity through proteomics from plasma:
diagnosis looks good
disease activity looks harder
(Much like a lot of things in GCA, really)
Exciting work @MayoClinic @MdWarrington @jsung0906 #ACR23 ABST2601 @RheumNow https://t.co/SwxN58LieB

Trajectory of FVC in Systemic sclerosis associated ILD in open label SENSCIS study
Decline in FVC over 52 weeks decreased by 57% on nintedanib
But am I also just seeing a study FVC decline even with nintedanib?

A model for prediction of progression to RA
Factors asso w/ progression
-ACPAs
-High % B cells
-Low % NK cells
Only in ACPA+ individuals
Low ACPA titers, High % NK cells and Low B cells = 76% non progressors
