What to do if pt on a TNFi develops cancer? Can you safely restart TNFi later? Depends on cancer, timing - how long ago was cancer, Rx and patient preference. Data diff from RABBIT registry vs British bio registry @RheumNow #ACR21 #ACRBest 7S413 Have a look https://t.co/q9SFKlFJzg

Does concomitant SJS affect tx effectiveness in RA? Abst#0839 suggest yes! ➡️RA+SjS have an inferior response to TNFi than RA patients w/o SjS BUT, RA/SJS pts w/ longer RA dz duration & ↑ DAS28 + HAQ-scores. What's your clinical experience with this? #ACR21 @Rheumnow https://t.co/TIc3raMOSJ

If obvious dermatomyositis, you don’t need EMG for dx but may use for severity of involvement or if failing Rx or r/o steroid myopathy. For ?polymyositis ALWAYS do bx and often do EMG as broad differential #ACR21 @RheumNow https://t.co/L1xu3OuRYJ

#ACR21 #Abstr0865 It’s time for T2T to achieve LLDAS in #lupus. In a study of N=2040 pts, mortality was 2.3% mainly due to infection. Remission off steroid was the best but only met in 14%. LLDAS-50 achieved in 48% pts and ⬇️mortality by 56% @RheumNow https://t.co/CddqMuFIOM https://t.co/g346Cbybep
