Look who I interviewed for @RheumNow!!@ashira_md shares the story of APOL1 effects on SLE . Patients with the variants have more aggressive renal and vascular disease. #DuboisLecture #ACR23 #StrongWomen #FutureNobelRecipient https://t.co/IzRsHwaMIb

Interesting study on PEXIVAS reduced steroid use from today's plenary session!
Reduced steroid dose in GPA/MPA pts associated w/
INCREASED risk of death, ESKD, progression of dz
Even greater risk in pts with higher Cr lvls or RTX induction use

In this real world EHR-based SLE cohort, AJorge: BEL was assoc w/⬇️risk of damage prog vs. MMF (HR 0.74 [95% CI 0.67-0.83) but no diff bet BEL vs. MTX/AZA at 3yrs
Further prospective studies req'd?
BEL remains an option for non-renal SLE tx.

Did you know?
👉APOL1 variants are protective against trypanosomiasis.
👉Despite reassuring renal biopsies, SLE pts with #APOL1 variants had:
⬆️progression to ESRD, ⬆️atherosclerosis, ⬆️osteonecrosis (likely related to endothel dysfnx) #ACR23 @ashira_md @RheumNow #DuboisLecture https://t.co/w1lnGMPFAQ

MSUS recs in Canadian Rheum training 🇨🇦:
Focus MSUS exam of hands/wrists/feet: ID effusion, synov, erosions v osteophyte, tenosyn
Limited MSUS of knee/ankle for effusion
@USSONAR_Rh @MymaAlbaydaMD
Agree: MSUS should be part of rheum training for all https://t.co/UNPpAA1p0V

Real world data on low dose PEXIVAS steroid by Nagle et al. Increased risk of progression/relapse/death/ESKD in those with severe GPA/MPA HR 1.72. More marked in those with creat>300 or with RTX induction Abstr#0725 #ACR23 @RheumNow https://t.co/vTXVZfjbXx https://t.co/4FuMjxOuyB

INVIGORATE-2 RCT of IV secukinumab in PsA. Demonstrates efficacy as expected. My big question is why are we doing trials like this against placebo? Surely a non-inferiority vs s/c secukinumab is more ethical. Abstr#0776 #ACR23 @RheumNow https://t.co/Usw0iwZEF5 https://t.co/DP6Gb4pF8a

Do you think point of care #ultrasound should be mandatory in #rheumatologu #residency #training? @RheumNow @ACRheum #ACR23

A good clinical trial should consist of not denying a standard of care comparator. Difficult to enrol in protocols requiring placebo in active disease. Maybe learn from #ped #rheum #RCTs where all get active #Rx then randomized to stop vs continue&trial designs. @RheumNow #ACR23 https://t.co/eQFEktsfBt

SLE Prosp Observational Cohort Study (SPOCS) reported realworld data on meds use in mod-to-severe SLE:
⬆️in GC dose in 1st 6mos then stable thru 36mos w/ stable antimalarials, mod⬆️in biologics, IS
Key message? Addt'l tx needed to avoid high GC doses

CV events in women w/ ARDs pregnancies:
-2.0% of 19,340 pregnant ARDs
Adjusted relative risk:
-4 fold in ARD
-15 fold in primary APS
-6 fold in SLE
-SLE + APS 18 fold
25-30% occur in early post partum!
Need for continued vigilance after delivery

CVE’s higher in pregnant pts with SLE + APS, primary APS and Lupus nephritis especially in the postpartum period. Rheums need to be involved with their patients’ care during pregnancy! Abstr#0722 #ACr23 @rheumnow https://t.co/P6sbJtd6xW

#ACR23 Real-world multicentre study showed steroid-sparing effect of Belimumab in #SLE. At 2 years, proportion of patients on =>10mg/d decreased from 52% to 3%. 18% and 13% achieved LLDAS and DORIS remission. Support its use esp. in those relying on glucocorticoids @RheumNow https://t.co/ad5XH3pmYc
