#SLE #EULAR recommendations What is new - use LESS #glucocorticoids, aim for none or 5 mg/d or less, use #biologics early if needed to prevent damage, #lupus #nephritis consider less pulse dose if using, voclosporin vs Belimumab ? it depends @RheumNow #EULAR2023 https://t.co/Ylnnl3pHOK

Late Breaker - Cardiorespiratory fitness increased in patients with IJD after 12 weeks of supervised
HIIT and effect maintained at 6 months. No significant differences in pain and fatigue vs control. HIIT is a viable intervention Norden K Abst#LB0007 #EULAR2023 @RheumNow

Diagnostic delay in #lupus is really prevalent!
#EULAR2023 @RheumNow

20% diagnosis is delayed for more than 3 months! https://t.co/1vCcezBrQS

2023 @eular_org recommendations for LVV imaging
interestingly, the key changes vs 2018 are about PET/CT:
- can consider PET/CT for cranial GCA diagnosis
- PET/CT (alt MRI) can be used for monitoring - more for when you lose ESR/CRP because of IL-6i

Meds in #lupus at #EULAR2023 recs
- HCQ first line therapy. Target dose remains the same. Some discussion on monitoring levels if possible
- MAIN CHANGE - Glucocorticoids to be minimized (only use for bridging). Nephrologists more so in favor of steroid free remission @RheumNow https://t.co/d8WnUOgrwq

Abatacept in pts at risk of #RA data from clinical trial.
213 pts, 31 centers.
Pts with multiple autoantibodies improved the most with abatacept.

CAR-T cells in refarctory SLE- long term data presented #EULAR2023
Pts did well except some mild cytopenias. Pts remained in remission.
Maybe a good option in the near future for refractory pts!

#EULAR2023 Clinical Highlights. CTD: OP0240 Open label study (N=26) showed stabilisation/improvement in FVC in patients with #ILD treated either Tacrolimus vs MMF. No efficacy difference between both therapies @RheumNow https://t.co/d3rCzNgYHK
