#ACR21 #Abstr1876 The fact that nothing is 100% makes Medicine interesting! If you have patients who meet McAdams/Damiani criteria for relapsing polychondritis OR ICBD for Behcet, don’t forget it could be MAGIC! Anticollagen II abs may help @RheumNow https://t.co/9ZjYbWC6Td https://t.co/xbh9ahp2fh

Will a FDA black box warning change your JAKi practice?
In May 2019, the EMA put out a warning about VTE with tofacitinib.
In this French cohort, did it change the kind of pts they initiated on JAKi?
