Dr Deike on prevalence and incidence of PsA in Germany. Prevalence 5-6/1000. Incidence 30-40/100000. Marked age variations that don't really make sense for prevalence. Abstr#1785 #ACR21 @RheumNow https://t.co/uW0ruW2Jda

What is the likelihood of developing an #autoimmunedisease in first-degree relatives of pts with #RA?
Genealogical & phenotypic data suggests lower threshold for screening for autoimmune thyroiditis, #coeliac & #SLE in FDRs.

#ACR21 Ab#L02 - #COVID19 vax in rheumatic pts:
❌No ⬆️ in disease activity scores post-vaccination
❌No serious adverse event
▶️Vax response 88% in RA, 78% in SLE, 87% other rheum diseases after 2 shots vs 100% controls
⭐️RTX and MMF ⬇️ responses

Dr Hebing on s/c vs oral methotrexate. erythrocyte methotrexate polyglutamates significantly higher with s/c administration. s/c consistently seems to be the better option, better efficacy, less side effects. Abstr#1695 #ACR21 @RheumNow https://t.co/kLGr6pVnxQ

Can we predict which PsO pts will develop PsA?
Machine learning and phenotyping of blood immune cell subsets identified an immune profile to discriminate PsO from PsA.

#ACR21 Ab#L03: B cell depletors and #COVID19 vax:
⭐️B cell count <40 around vax had lower response to vax, than 40+ B-cell, independent of RTX or BEL
▶️ Timing of vax around B cell return can improve response

#ACR21 #Abstr1491 What’s new in skin #lupus aetiology? Paired skin & blood using scRNA-seq:
💠Nonlesional skin in CLE/SLE is IFN-I-riched
💠Lupus-enriched CD16+ DCs undergo robust IFN education in the skin & gained pro-inflammatory phenotypes @RheumNow https://t.co/70zrC4T7SB https://t.co/75HjvGmNTa

In this study by Prof MAringer et al, majority of #lupus pts enrolled in TULIP 1/2 met the the EULAR/ACR 2019 #SLE criteria
🦋Of few pts not meeting new criteria, most were ANA- w/detectable anti-dsDNA/Smith Ab
Better outcomes for criteria+ in TULIP1/2?

Dr Coras on "ITIS" anti-inflammatory diet in RA. Improves fatigue after 2 weeks. Fatigue response dissociated from disease activity response. Open label, but promising. Fatigue remains one of our biggest challenges in RA. Abstr#1699 #ACR21 @RheumNow @ElenaNikiUK https://t.co/tBMqmWAy8m

Breakthrough COVID-19 in rheum pts: great data @rheum_covid
B-cell depleting agents overrepresented, esp in hospitalization in fully vaccinated - but plenty of others
Booster (& booster booster) vaccine doses + other mitigation badly needed!
