In an early SpA (DESIR) cohort, the occurrence of a first pregnancy did not seem to increase the number of imaging abnormalities of the SIJ. Overall no significant changes in radiographic and MRI imaging abnormalities of the SIJ, Molto A, Abst#POS0303, #EULAR2023 @RheumNow

Supervised 12 weeks High-intensity interval training program
Improves Vo2 peak in IA patients
But does not improve pain or fatigue
It is disappointing but it is also a small study w/ n=30 pts in each group.
It is unclear if the type of exercise has an impact on outcome https://t.co/Plk7sflrh5

What happens when an AI-based symptom checker & an online self-referral tool play Rheumatologists?
They don't seem to do great yet!
600 new pts, outw/ 36% dvlpd IA
IA Sens 62% Spe 47%
Tool Sens 66% Spe 54%
More work needed to implement these in practice

Wasn’t following the SLE stuff #EULAR2023 but heard a lot of talk about both telitacicept & CAR-T, including meeting highlights by Christian Dejaco.
Both look pretty exciting - the longer the sustained remission with CAR-T, the more it looks like maybe the real deal @RheumNow https://t.co/oKzb8ojTcz

Adherence to TNFi follows different trajectories
Cluster 1: “moderate then high” 51%
Cluster 2: “moderate then low” 20%
Cluster 3: “low adherence, to discontinuation” 18%
Cluster 4: “low then high adherence” 11%
Most demographic & clinical features CAN NOT predict trajectory! https://t.co/4wLg6b70Kl

@eular_org recommendations session #EULAR2023 - and the first recommendation is one I’m so glad is up front:
Adult Onset Still’s Disease (AOSD) and Systemic JIA (sJIA) are the same disease.
If anything, it’s the really young sJIA (<18 months old) which is different @RheumNow https://t.co/OCDeeNtNoR
David Liew drdavidliew ( View Tweet)

@eular_org recommendation for AOSD/sJIA:
An IL-1 or IL-6 inhibitor should be initiated as early as possible when the diagnosis is established

#EULAR2023 #POS1156 Previous case series reported ~9% de novo nephritis in #SLE pts treated with belimumab for non-renal lupus. Post-hoc analysis of 5 BEL Non-LN RCTs showed 8% had de novo LN. Risk increased in Asians but lowered with low dose BEL or s/c form @RheumNow https://t.co/GqAr3tppWh

One new overarching principle for @eular_org PsA recommendations:
“The choice of treatment should take account of safety considerations regarding individual MoA to optimize the benefit-risk profile”
Wonder what triggered that
