Fecal microbiota - can it predict development of RA?
Sadly, no. Despite promising mouse work. Despite relative control of exposure & genetic enrichment incl SE. Not even Prevotella. Maybe if you compare the most extreme cases
but it’s not all the gut.

Peng et al. 146 IgG4-RD in remission on immunomodulators+GC. 18 month follow-up. Withdraw IM+GC - 52% flare. Withdraw GC + continue IM 14.2% flare. Continue both 12.2% flare. Clear message that ongoing IM is the way Abstr#L16 #ACR23 #ACRbest @RheumNow https://t.co/3CAQhyTYqq https://t.co/qr1GOSvJYg

COVAD2 data:
⬆️proportion of SLE pts from lmHDI countries were on CS(73% vs 59% p=0.0002), antimalarials(81% vs 68% p=0.0002) & IS(66% vs 53%p=0.0009) vs pts from hvhHDI countries
Comorbids more in younger pts from lmHDI (prob from CS use)

What's the long-term mainentance game plan in IgG4-RD?
WInS IgG4-RD study
China, n=146
IgG4-RD stable disease >12mo
Withdrawing both IM+GC completely has much higher relapse rates vs at least keeping some IM
IgG4-RD needs some steroid-sparing Rx ongoing
