Good news for #COVID vaccine in #SLE. ✅doesn’t cause #lupus flares ➡️ no increase in APS. What about #SARS-CoV2 infection in SLE. Flares ↔️ stable but ⬆️APS Abs. from Hopkins cohort. Petri #ACRBest #ACR21 abst0858 @RheumNow https://t.co/ABx4C4lwvs

How can we better identify patients with #RA-ILD using #EHRs?
Abs#0561: previously validated algorithms have clinical & research utility when applied to EHRs, esp when well-integrated with key info such as CT chest reports

ADACTA & MONARCH both showed IL6i monoRx > TNFi monoRx for RA in DBRCTs.
What about in real-world data?
Looking at CorEvitas, less so
LDA: aOR 0.99
MCID in CDAI: 1.06
Even without MTX, both great drug classes for RA
Equally so?

#ACR21 A#0563 - Is FRAX score applicable for RA? 10 yr Olmsted County epi study: Yes
▶️ 76 osteoporotic fxs in RA pts, FRAX predicted 67 fx (SIR 1.13, not signif)
▶️ 21 observed hip fx, FRAX predicted 23.3 (SIR 0.9)
⭐️ No differences by ages/sex

Guidance on self-efficacy (SE) in IA were published this yr- what factors influence this?
👉PROMs & treatment response determine long-term SE
👉This may help identify pts benefitting most from interventions to improve SE

#ACR21 Abst#0786. Fibroscan screening for liver injury in pts on MTX:
▶️No significant correlation between cumulative MTX dose and liver stiffness by fibroscan, even at high dose MTX.
⭐️Age, sex, waist circumference, BMI are risks

In Australia, there's free choice of originator vs biosimilar for etanercept.
Real-world data shows exactly what you'd expect over >48 months - and sometimes it's what you expect that's exactly what you want to see...

Ever wish you had a tool to help you predict which PsA pts will progress to radiographic damage?
➡️Proteomic approaches identified 103 candidate biomarker peptides related to 69 proteins that can potentially do so!

Calculated 10-yr CV risk ↑ w/in 1st yr of new RA dx in 53 Dutch pts:
➤43% had intermediate (I) or high (H) morbidity risk
➤76% had I or H mortality risk
◘ avg 57yo, 74%♀, 72% HTN, & 57% HLD
*️⃣ Early CV risk assessment critical at RA diagnosis!

⭐️Total Body PET/CT (TB-PET/CT) as a tool to identify subclinical PsA at the point of transition from psoriasis (PsO).
➡️Should all pts w/ new dx of PsO have a baseline TB-PET/CT to identify early PsA?

Does tenderness in non-swollen joints of PsA or RA pts portend inflammation & radiographic damage?
⭐️NO, except in early PsA!
➡️Abnormal PDUS associated w/ radiographic progression vs tenderness otherwise

Rx of knee OA. A step in the right direction? Many knee #OA studies show that exercise can help pain and maybe much more - strengthening, alignment, tone, maybe weight loss. Here is a trial - STEP-KOA to support it. #YearInReview #ACR21 @RheumNow https://t.co/rTZUeZuT1c
