Early TNFi use and cardiovascular events in AS
Abstract #0415 #ACR22 @RheumNow
📍17.6k patients, 91% male, 80% white
📍TNFi initiators were younger with lower prev. of HTN and DM
📍TNFi was associated with higher risk of incident CVD, CVA, and MACE https://t.co/7bCkfk7EYY

I questioned HCQ dose reducing in my recent newsletter & podcast; more evidence!
Receiving less HCQ = more damage and more CVD
Observational, not clearly causal, but should make you wonder...
Are we sure we should be shooting for <5mg/kg/day?

Abstr #0732 utilized #NLP to capture and classify VZV infxn using 2 approaches
1. Bag of Words (BOW) - filtered by vaccine mentions
2. kNN- active vs historical infection
- BoW --> 92% accuracy
- kNN --> 64% accuracy
