CVE in ARD/APS is a significant risk factor during pregnancies and the risk stays even after delivery for a significant amount of time. California based administrative data study! abst#722 @RheumNow https://t.co/HawhS4Gqko

Treatment intensification was associated with a higher ASDAS cut-off (2.7) value than the recommended one (≥2.1), the recommended cut-off could be too stringent or consider other factors than disease activity, Webers, El-Din Abst#0517 #ACR23 @RheumNow https://t.co/ZtBXhufxU1 https://t.co/MzvZQoFbvw

Analysis from the DESIR cohort reveal that pregnancy does not aggravate imaging changes in axSpA.
Stat significant changes seen on Xray of LSIJ b4 & after delivery (p=0.037) but not worsening.
Do these findings also translate to⬇️pain/improved QOL?

In a subgrp analysis of the SURPASS study by Dr @XBaraliakos et al, there was low spinal prog over 2 yrs in SEC & SDZ-ADL treated pts regardless of +/- Synd/⬆️CRP
Synd+ > CRP+ as predictor of radiog prog
Again, early dx = early tx

Good Treatment review of biologics (IL-1, IL-6) in systemic JIA (Stills) including complications of #MAS and lung disease; also info on horizon therapies like JAK inhibitors and IL-18 targeting and novel biomarkers (calgranulins, IL-18 and CXCL9) https://t.co/Cbd7bKdIbb https://t.co/d9tn9fmSAy

Tofacitinib efficacy and safety in axSpA pts by baseline CRP levels
Elevated CRP pts with higher response in ASAS20, ASAS40, BASDAI50, etc.
AE trended higher in normal CRP pts taking Tofa compared to placebo

Long term safety data for bimekizumab (IL17i) in Psa & axSpA
Overall as expected; increased infections (esp fungal/candida) & hepatic events
No new signals... uveitis flares is interesting
Need H2H of IL17's! IXE vs SEC vs BIM

Are anti CCP3 the new anti CCP2 antibodies?
Not yet!
Anti-CCP3 associated w/ diagnosis of RA in a population of patients w/ MSK symptoms
But… very strong overlap between CCP2 and 3 with only 3.4% positive for CCP3 negative for CCP2

Detectable hs-cTnT at baseline was associated with future MACE HR 5.6, in the hsCRP high→low cohort with high inflammation at baseline, not vice versa. hs-cTnT may provide additional info for assessing CV risk, Weber et al, Abst#0387 https://t.co/M4zyz2tzIO #ACR23 @RheumNow https://t.co/omMgpRzBA5

Does pregnancy affect axSpA imaging?
Large study of 381 pts, in the DESIR cohort, f/up of 5 years.
Pregnancy did not aggravate imaging of axSpA women compared to prior to pregnancy.

#ACR23 Abs 0465 suggests changes in rheums’ rx patterns in context of nationwide abortion restriction, particularly in abortion-restricted states; reproductive-age female pts may have less access to EB treatments like MTX/MMF for rheum dz. https://t.co/QN9C4PjUaN

Non invasive screening for pulmonary involvement in early RA
Combination of PFT and Lung 🫁 US:
-50% with interstitial or focal changes or pleural effusion on US
-58% with abnormal DLCO
Correlation w/ higher disease activity.

@RheumNow PMR Mythbusters:
we polled Aussie🇦🇺 rheumatologists
How did those motivated enough to answer a PMR/GCA survey fare?
Myth: PMR is only proximal
- not bad
Myth: PMR needs ⬆️ESR/CRP
- a bit of work
Time to #MakeRheumForPMR

WEAR study: adherence to wearable activity trackers in RA
Something that is consistent across all wearable studies is low adherence
Here under 50% for PRO + tracking
In an already selected population!
To implement, we need to make this better?
