Large 5 country cohort study - No increased risk of hematologic malignancies (lymphoid or myeloid) in PsA pts treated with TNFi.
In PsA overall compared to general population - moderately increased underlying risk of hematologic malignancies.

#ClinicalPearl. Why do doctors prescribe #JAKi in RA? Efficacy, fast onset, X-ray inhibition, can work as monotherapy, remission - in order of diminishing frequency BUT I will add access and oral (convenience). POS0680 @RheumNow @eular_org #EULAR2022 https://t.co/XHtNqguqvh

#EULAR2022 Telemedicine: PROs
💻Triage, reduce wait time, direct other specialty referral
💻High agreement w F2F evaluation (79-97%)
💻Saves resources, react quickly to minor flare
💻Better adherence

#PEARLS by EULAR President Prof Iagnocco:
1. Enthesitis can be present in 25% of #SLE patients
2. Erosions can be common and independent of ACPA/RF status
3. Active myositis is indistinguishable from IIM
4. Don't forget pain osteonecrosis/osteomyelitis #EULAR2022 @rheumnow https://t.co/8uWCw9rEve

#OP0249 #EULAR2022 Dr Machado presented pooled data >5000 pts. Poor #COVID outcomes in Pso, PsA and AxSpa were associated with the usual suspects: Age, male, high disease activity and comorbidities. No specific bDMARDs was associated. Good news for our patients @RheumNow https://t.co/itzmwqKCrH
