What increases risk of RA-assoc #bronchiectasis, separate from #RA-ILD?
Results from @BrighamResearch find seropositivity (esp high +ve RF/CCP), older age, disease duration, & low BMI incr. risk of isolated bronchiectasis in RA.

@BethIWallace et al. on fibromyalgianess and GC in #rheumatoidarthritis pts.
Accdg to their study, pts w/⬆ levels of fibromyalgianess at BL had higher odds of GC persistence on ffup.
Something to consider when evaluating need for GC adjustment.

Large case-control study (n=8028) to identify baseline predictors of rheum irAEs after immune checkpoint inhibitor initiation for cancer.
Type of cancer (melanoma, GU), combination ICI, pre-existing autoimmune disease, and recent GC use each had higher odds of rheum irAE #ACR21 https://t.co/rHI6VQ37QB

Ever wonder about other predictors of mortality in pts w/ RA-Lung Disease besides ILD (OR 2.3) or older age?
⭐︎ ↑ mortality associated w/ pleural effusions (OR 3.3)
AND, notably...
⭐︎MTX use was protective (OR 0.4)!!!

RA patients with lung disease have increased rates of SSc-specific autoantibodies compared to RA w/o lung disease.
