The 2009 ASAS classification criteria did not meet the set targets of 75% sensitivity and 90% specificity in the CLASSIC cohort, indicating the need for revision of these criteria to increase its performance and validity in classification of axSpA.

❔Can rheum drugs have beneficial effects on cognition?
💊Possible benefits with MTX and TNFis but certainly an active area of research and more studies needed

Global meta-analysis of 61 studies shows TB Preventive treatment (TPT)
- Reduces active TB risk in rheumatic disease patients by 29% (RR: 0.71, CI: 0.57–0.87)
- Best outcomes in high TB-burden countries (RR: 0.51) and with isoniazid for >9 months (RR: 0.52).

Gender differences in axSpA extend to dse activity assessment tools.
PREDICT-SpA:
🔶️BASDAI score performed better in women.
🔶️ ASDAS-CRP homogenous performance on both genders.
Consider BASDAI for assessing dse activity in women?

Study on #AI-augmented remote care for SLE:
- Combined biometric, self-reported, and NLP-extracted data
- Moderate to strong correlations with physician global assessment
- Potential to improve remote disease management - but now very accurate for now

Ok so trivial tweet here but I just love the name of this outcome measure... "LFA-REAL" 😄😆
Serious topic though; PRO's are huge in SLE research!

Using #MachineLearning for predicting flares in axSpA @DiegoBenavent et al, data from METEOR-SpA registry showed the ff predictors of flares thru the reduced logistic regression model:
🔅lower ASDAS
🔅enthesitis
🔅prior flares
🔅longer treatment duration
