Evidence of window of opportunity concept in PsA. Certainly >52 weeks delay associates with worse outcomes. <12 weeks and 12-52 weeks similar. Abstr#1641 #ACR23 @RheumNow https://t.co/fMb3D9zl8B https://t.co/rHu29Eflo0

FDG-PET uptake at baseline in GCA predicts future risk of future thoracic aneurysm
In print here: https://t.co/2SQm18y6zP
Could this help stratify aneurysmal screening?

It's OK to use TNFi in RA-ILD!
VA study 1000+ pts using Target Trial Emulation framework: TNFi vs nonTNFi biologics/JAKi followed for 3 years. NO differences in respiratory hospitalizations or deaths or all cause mortality. abst#1582 #ACR23 #ACRbest @rheumnow https://t.co/aI2SmMrLPE

Wolfgang Schmidt presenting @eular_org large vessel vasculitis imaging recommendations at #ACR23, acknowledging @ACRheum on the way.
Great to see a master (& a new ACR Master) navigate with clarity, uniting different sides of the Atlantic.

What do we see in GCA, with serial PET/CT after five years?
In this Australian cohort:
cranial uptake disappears
extra-cranial uptake sometimes emerges (but not for pts on DMARDs)
Still understanding the trajectory of smouldering activity

Factors predicting fatigue in RA differ by disease activity.
Synovial lining hyperplasia and synovial lymphocytic inflammation on histology were key factors.

RA-ILD: the study that exonerates TNFi ?
TNFi vs. other BioDMARDs/JAK do not increase risk of death or hospitalization over 1 and 3 yrs follow up.
No subgroups stand out
VHA cohort, 50% smokers
No info on ILD patterns or disease trajectory

#ClinicalPearl or #pathology pearl? Using synovial #biopsies to guide therapy in #RA #RCTs is a reality. But likely #fibrotic #phenotype won’t respond and #lympho_myeloid has more RA damage. #ACR23 session 13M140 #Precision #medicine #ACRbest @ACRheum @RheumNow https://t.co/DmI9dNpu8w

PET/CT real-world performance in GCA diagnosis, Sydney @tonysammel:
comparable to other modalities
can optimize for sen or spec based on managing equivocal results
?some steroid confounding
but definitely one of 3 complementary imaging options for GCA

#ACR23 Abstr#1634 Promising therapy for two #Sjogren groups: 1 (high ESSDAI & ESSPRI) & 2 (low ESSDAI, high ESSPRI). Phase 2 RCT of Iscalimab (anti-CD40ab) showed more ISC-treated pts met the primary endpoint (ESSDAI and ESSPRI changes at WK24) vs PBO. Going to Phase 3 @RheumNow https://t.co/3bN3IS1zCO

@Dr_K presenting long COVID data from FORWARD RA.
These pts had some symtoms before COVID!- More comorbidites, depression patient reported scores, fibromyalgia but no different DMRD use.
PHQ8 and wodepread paid were the most important PROMs @RheumNow

Window of opportunity in PsA
Higher time to diagnosis in
-female
-higher enthesitis
-less swollen joints
-lower CRP
If diag > 52 wks, over 3 yrs
Less MDA, less remission
Worse HAS-DI, PSAID
Same Rx progression
No diff between <12 wk & 12-52 wk

#Precision #Medicine in RA RCTs. Treat w right drug at right time?
Possible problems -sample variation on synovial #bx, some won’t respond ex fibrotic phenotype variable drug distribution/resistance. AI is helping to separate Pts #ACR23 @ACRheum @RheumNow 13M140 https://t.co/D7NxpM4YNw

Michaud et al. RA patients with long COVID had more fibromyalgia pre-COVID (41% vs 13%), higher rates of pain, depression, and worse PROs pre-COVID. Authors suggest long COVID may partially reflect pre-existing illness Abstr#1629 #ACR23 #ACRbest @RheumNow https://t.co/mrcGWrSD6c https://t.co/YiGCbvBDtn

SGLT2 inhibitors compared to DPP4i may be better at reducing risk for MACE & renal progression in patients with SLE/LN and diabetes. SGLT2i risk for MACE (HR 0.69, 95% CI 0.48-0.99), and renal progression (HR 0.71, 95% CI 0.51-0.98). abst# 1579 #ACRbest #ACR23 @rheumnow

Do you discuss HPV vax & cervical CA screening w/SLE & RA pts?
In this study, more women w/SLE discussed cervical CA screening w/their rheums(33.3% vs. 11.4% p<0.01) & more likely to have persistent abn paps on ffup
Similar HPV vax status for both grps
