Witholding MTX after both doses or only after the second dose of ChAdOx1 vaccine yields higher antibody repsonse compared to continuing MTX. Witholding MTX after second dose reduced the risk for flare. Data from MIVAC 1 and 2 #EULAR2022 @RheumNow LB https://t.co/GfL4eDXchb

72% of you would treat some high-risk subclinical arthralgias with MTX
and Marta Mosca, in the #EULAR2022 highlights, broadly agrees
OP0070 Leiden data showed better function and presenteeism. And that’s a win in my book

Biosimilars and COVID vaccines have made nocebo more pertinent than ever.
How do we combat it?
First line is good communication, and the foot soldiers are the right phrases.
Language matters. #EULAR2022 @RheumNow https://t.co/U0Chv9ia1G

#OP0004 #EULAR2022 In line with EULAR President’s preech to go Digital, Prof Mosca highlighted a study which showed assessment of joints in RA could be done by taking photos and analysed their dorsal skin folds using convolutional neural network @RheumNow https://t.co/h03mieTcQt

Post-ORAL Surveillance, the @eular_org RA treatment guidelines had to change.
In the 2022 version:
JAKi now separate sentence following bDMARDs, with proviso to mention risk.
Sometimes guidelines have to tell us what we’ve all inevitably been expecting

130K UK patients had incident gout bw 2004-2020
⭐️Only 29% started on ULT w/in 12 mos
⭐️Target urate level only 14% in 2004, only to 17% in 2020
Updated EULAR guidelines in 2016: No statistical difference in ULT Rx or target attainment

Rituximab/belimumab patients & COVID vaccination response:
may have had average antibody response
but there’s still the cellular response to consider too! Not as bad.
Still caution++, but when ritux really needed we’ll find a way despite COVID

#OP0236 #EULAR2022 Prof Schulze-Koops highlighted a mechanistic study that baricitinib therapy ex vivo suppressed autophagy, increased apoptosis, and reduced expression of adhesion molecules in #sjogren salivary glands.

Sex differences in axSpA: we’re continuing to better understand the differences in imaging findings.
Existing MRI scoring may underserve axSpA in women.
Added to therapy differences, a lot to readdress for our female axSpA patients.
