The prospect of automating hand x-ray scoring reliably has always been an enticing one, and data presented at the American College of Rheumatology (ACR) Convergence 2020 suggest this might be in reach in the near future – opening up the prospect of automatic x-ray scoring

What would you use in multidrug failure RA pt from last tweet +RF nodules & keratitis failed 2 TNFi & 2 JAKi @RheumNow #ACR20 @CRASCRRheum

Low-dose steroids in RA: what's the harm, right?
(You probably know where I'm going with this)
ESPOIR 10y data: total events, and severe infections worse with dose and time
(cumulative 8.4g ≡ 5mg/d)
No doubt some residual confounding, but real risk!

What would you use next? sero+ RA new keratitis requiring prednisone and now also 20 SJC. New rheumatoid nodules. Pt has been on triple csDMARDs + Leflunomide, then 2 JAKi and 2 TNFi also with MTX each time. All Rx works for 6 months then relapse. @RheumNow @CRASCRRheum https://t.co/9cTS1tNE42

Dr Lillegraven presents a randomized open-label phase 4, non-Inferiority trial of TNFi tapering in RA patients in sustained remission. 63% of tapered patients flared over 12 months vs 5% of maintained. Good response to reintroduction of TNFi @rheumnow #ACR20 Abstr#2010 https://t.co/Ki7PTsetbH
Abst#2000. PRIME team Medicare database study pts with new RA started on MTX higher VTE risk than HCQ (HR 2.3). Unable to assess disease activity because claims database, but would imagine MTX grp more severe, driving increased VTE risk @RheumNow #ACR20 https://t.co/Z14xFTVXTp
2020 #ACR20 RA guidelines were against steroid usage in RA. ESPOIR French cohort: 10 years of very low dose GC show increase events (death/CVD/fracture/severe ifn) even on low doses. HR increases every year. Cum GC dose-effect esp ifn, CVD. @RheumNow #ACRBest https://t.co/7b7chCPRxm
Another great late-breaking asbtract: #HerpesZoster in patients w/ #rheumatoidarthritis taking #upadacitinib #JAKinhibitor
-HZ events more common in patients taking 30mg vs 15mg
-HZ more common in UPA vs those taking ADA+MTX & MTX
Abs#2002 #ACR20 @RheumNow

Late breaking: in older #rheumatoidarthritis patients, those taking MTX have 2x risk of #VTE compared to those on HCQ. Important to consider #thromboembolic risk factors when starting new RA treatment.

Large cohort of older RA pts newly rx w/HCQ or MTX:
👉~2-fold ⬆ risk of VTE – both PE and DVT- among patients newly treated with MTX vs. HCQ.
