@philseo on why we SHOULD use IL-6i in GCA and PMR 1) Infection risk similar to TNFi 2) Too many (63%) pts remain on steroids at 1-2 yrs 3) May accelerate remission 4) Steroids are Bad, even at low doses @RheumNow #ACR23 https://t.co/muPPcAc6LC

More vitamin D during pregnancy is better, right? Hopkins Lupus cohort, vit D levels & adverse pregnancy outcomes Actually, there's a sweet spot (too high just as unfavourable as too low) Maybe popping vit D pills isn't always limitless @jhrheumatology #ACR23 ABST1364 @RheumNow https://t.co/TVPCqP3dq9

Quick curmudgeonly complaint WHY are we doing 316 week extensions? That's 292 weeks of $$$ data... for what? 1. Insufficient N to assess meaningful safety signals 2. Open label, no comparator It's just a very very expensive observational study @RheumNow #ACR23 Abstr1434 https://t.co/Thj1XjeAn1

The order of use will affect the safety and effectiveness of drug Rx in #Rheumatoid #arthritis So if #Rituximab is used in later line #Rx - is looks worse@than ex #TNFi used early. Never forget prescribing bias / confounding the results. @RheumNow @ACRheum #ACR23 https://t.co/JJ8BY7n9VM
