Early experience w/SGLT2i in SLE (Prof Petri):
👉Reduction of decline in eGFR after SGLT2i
👉Improvement in RUPCR after SGLT2i
BUT observed differences not significant when compared w/prior to starting SGLT2i
Small sample size. Longer ffup needed.

Went into more depth on this great topic of IBD in SpA on @RheumNow #ACR23
Should we be screening SpA patients with fecal calprotectin to look for undiagnosed SpA?

#ACR23 highlights from PlenaryII
🙉#RA #ILD seems that #TNFi is equal to other bDMARDs - was thought to worsen /cause it.
🙉Septra should be given with #rituximab and #steroids in #GCA to prevent #infections not just #PJP

@lastwalsh @KyleWalkerM @RheumNow Second question: do you ever give a PEXIVAS-standard style steroid taper?
I'm 100% in agreement that we should favor PEXIVAS over observational data in most cases
In practice it seems like some patients need a bit more immunosuppression, though
Curious to hear your thoughts!

#ACR23 Abs #2199 large RL study: SEC retention rates after 4 yrs approx. 50% in axSpA and PsA pts. Bio-naïve pts had higher retention, remission & response rates than pts with prior b/tsDMARD exposure, particularly in axSpA. https://t.co/Eq5BwILK3D @rheumnow https://t.co/slho6yAwtQ

The presence of antibodies to 4 UH-axSpA peptides was confirmed in the Belgian Inflammatory Arthritis and Spondylitis (Be-Giant) cohort of newly diagnosed axSpA patients and could be of added value for axSpA diagnosis. #ACR23 Abs #2210 https://t.co/fV4PPbWF01 @rheumnow

1-PJP prophylaxis or not in ANCA?
2-MTX single dose or split dose?
3-IL6 blocker early on in GCA/PMR?
4-SGLT2 in DM/Lupus nephritis?
5-Cervical cancer screening in Lupus?
6-TNF induced ILD?

PtGA and PhGA were aligned in most encounters in PsA. PtGA >PhGA disagreement was driven by pain, fatigue, and physical health being weighed more by Pts than Phs. PROs matter! #ACR23 Abs #2234 https://t.co/0r7gjx0JS6 @rheumnow https://t.co/BuGDicwBiB

Crude drug retention at 1 year was 65% for JAKi, significantly lower than for other modes of action (74%) and TNFi (77%). These results are driven by the severity of the disease of patients on JAKi compared to other MOA. Aymon R Abst#1692 #ACR23 @RheumNow https://t.co/LPDpWdjoLg https://t.co/Ztaz94omd9

Obs study, bDMARDs & malignancy
TNFi w/lower risk than ABA/RTX/IL6i & numerically lower than JAKs
I'm a little skeptical... KM curves diverged w/~45 days, seems implausible?
Agree w/first author, possible channeling bias

Sendaydiego et al. Comparative cancer safety b/tsDMARDs. 37,026 patient database cohort study. Compared to TNFi, RTX HR 2.2 (1.5, 3.3) ABA HR 1.7 (1.3-2.4), JAKi HR 1.3 (0.9-1.9). Abstr#1678 #ACR23 @RheumNow https://t.co/bTNtaNJrln https://t.co/qQBM2F2q8N

Ritux (OR 2.2), ABA (OR 1.3), JAKi (OR 1.3) significantly increase risk of cancer vs. TNFi
Cohort of 37000+ RA pts starting bio/tsDMARDs (379 incident cancers)
True biologic effect or confounding by indication in a generally more comorbid population?

#ACR23 Abstr#0840 Could combined JAK1/Tyk2 fare better than Tofacitinib in D2T #RA? Phase 2 RCT showed impressive results; > %50 pts in the higher doses TLL-018 arms achieved ACR50 vs TOF (42%). TOF non-responders at WK12 who switched to TLL-018 improved too @RheumNow #ACRBest https://t.co/Yw6Pvb2PH8
