Does clinical response equate good #HRQoL in #SLE? Dr Gomez analysed responders in #belimumab trials and showed up to 29% pts reported poor SF-36 (esp physical aspects). Physical functioning & fatigue improved with therapy #EULAR2021 #POS0101 @RheumNow https://t.co/IU1k0UetEx

Is there a need to routinely monitor #ANA in patients treated on #TNF inhibitors? The jury👨⚖️is still out. Of N=211, Dr Oliveira reported 75.4% had seroconversion at median 31mths of TNFi therapy. Only 2/211 (0.9%) developed SLE (mild symptoms) #EULAR2021 #POS0204 @RheumNow https://t.co/UrFucJ9xnJ

#MachineLearning to unravel pathways associated with #SLE. Dr Morand analysed N=1760 pts from RCTs. Using deep learning algorithms, they identified novel pathways (CD4 Tcell Differentiation, Macrophage and DCs) in addition to known #IFN and #JAKSTAT #EULAR2021 #POS0351 @RheumNow https://t.co/Gc7zL8JQZe

#Interferon as biomarkers in #RMD? Dr Burska on behalf of #EULAR TF reported heterogeneity in published papers re:IFN-I pathway activation assays, hence unable to perform meta-analyses of results.They proposed Consensus Terminology for IFN #research #EULAR2021 #POS0370 @RheumNow https://t.co/lbqy2xbEyt

In a UK study of newly diagnosed #SLE (within 12 months of meeting ACR criteria), Dr Yee reported BILAG-2004 Grade A or B was predictive of damage in the median FU of 73 months. MMF use appeared to be protective #EULAR2021 #POS0705 @RheumNow https://t.co/VROqTTrzwY

Once approved, in what type of patients with #psoriaticarthritis would you treat with IL23-inhibitors? #EULAR2021 #OP0228 #OP0230 @RheumNow 🤔

Utility of salivary gland biopsy in #Sjogren?Dr Chatzis analysed biopsy from N=618 with =>1 yr FU before 🔼lymphoma. 58/618 developed lymphoma. Predictors identified were⬆️Focus Score, cryoglobulin & parotid swelling. FS=>4 predicted earlier lymphoma #EULAR2021 #OP0291 @RheumNow https://t.co/yFFZpBRvji

In case you're not convinced:
Another study showed HCQ protects SLE pts from death. Risk reduction in those taking antimalarials 83% vs. those who cannot take the drug (for any reason) 42%, yet 60% of patients are non-adherent

Can we identify 1st Trimester predictors of adverse pregnancy outcome (APO) in #lupus? Dr Larosa studied women in 🇫🇷 (N=238; 98% on #HCQ; 86% had SLEDAI=0). 34(14%) had APO. Higher SLICC damage and LAC+ve predicted APO but not LLDAS/DORIS Remission #EULAR2021 #OP0295 @RheumNow https://t.co/423sSEKLFY

Why do black women with #lupus have poor #HRQoL? Dr Kimble used untargeted metabolomic profiling in N=23 black women SLE and N=21 black women nonSLE. The former had profiles consistent with⬇️energy production resulted in ⬆️fatigue and other symptoms #EULAR2021 #POS0173 @RheumNow https://t.co/GYzmpf8GwW

More novel target (IL23-i; Risankizumab) for #psoriaticarthritis👏. Dr Ostor presented results from Phase III KEEPsAKE2. 46% of patients were Bio-IR. 51.3% of RZB-treated vs 26.5% Placebo-tx achieved ACR20 response at 6mo (p<0.001). No major safety #EULAR2021 #OP0228 @RheumNow https://t.co/6AIGCNMApv

Is Dissociation a component of #lupus brain fog ☁️? Dr Monahan administered DES scale (score =>25 = Dissociation) to N=339 pts; of which 97 (27%) had NPSLE. Only 13% had abnormal score. No difference in score btw NPSLE vs non-NPSLE #EULAR2021 #POS0709 @RheumNow https://t.co/aarL8gdCDM

Israeli study of all cause mortality in PsA vs general population
⭐️no increased mortality in PsA group
⭐️leading causes of death was cancer in both groups
⭐️age, male sex, BMI, socioeconomic status, PsO associated with ⬆️mortality, NOT DMARDs

Dr Bilgin presents on PLEX in AAV. I'm not a believer post-PEXIVAS despite attempts to slice and dice that data and this seems to show no evidence to change my mind @RheumNow #EULAR2021 Abstr#POS0255 https://t.co/U3zwt619lc

#POS0221 retrospective propensity score corrected observational study TOFA (n:156) vs. BARI (n:138): week 24: CDAI REM (see pic) BARI>TOFA. Factors of treatment resistence in TOFA: OR: Nr of prior bDMARD 1.77 & HAQ-DI 18.6
No such factors in BARI identified.
