In 16,448 RA from ACR’s RISE registry: no difference in disease activity TNFi and non-TNFi at 12 months. Stratified analysis: ⬆️disease activity for TNFi vs. non TNFi in patients of Black and Asian ethnicity. To be confirmed in independent cohorts.

MTX or ETA which one withdraw first? @RADoctor SEAM-RA trial: PROs following withdrawal of MTX or ETN in RA patients with sustained SDAI remission receiving combination ETN+MTX. ETA > MTX for maintaining SDAI remission at W48 (49.5%-28.7% P=0.004)

Can we predict pre-clinical RA-ILD?
@Juge_P_A ESPOIR cohort. model w/ 4 variables: male gender, older age @ diag, mean DAS-28 over follow-up and MUC5B variant ▶️ preclinical ILD after 13 years of RA w/ AUC=0.82 CI 95% (0.72-0.91) (Sens 80%, Spe 56%)

Very informative #EULAR2021 WIN session on MIS-C @EULAR_org
👉 Steroids early
👉 IVIg in all
👉 anticoagulant use remains variable
#Coronary aneurysms
✅ occur during acute phase in MIS-C and improve with treatment
✅ occur in the late/convalescent phase of #Kawasaki disease https://t.co/Ff3rX6u5VK

Does skin #lupus respond differently to rituximab?Dr Carter @LucyCarter6 reported 75% cutaneous response rate but overall non-response to tx was caused by skin domain. Interestingly, resistant skin post-tx was associated with low baseline #IFN scores #EULAR2021 #OP0134 @RheumNow https://t.co/JdtwdwNR4Z

Can machine learning show JAKi effects for safety? Off target binding predicted in #tofacitinib 58, #baricitinib 41 but NO pathway for thrombosis or viral infection. Could have repurposing for + effects on lung vasculature & antifibrotic effects POS0091 #EULAR2021 @RheumNow

MACE events with #JAKi is as clear as mud! You voted >50% NOT Sure 1/3 only some Jakis vs MACE in #TNFi! Dunno #EULAR2021 @RheumNow @eular_org https://t.co/vWUgKSwAap

Does anti-CD20 mAb still have a place in #Sjogren? Dr Pontarini analysed salivary gland biopsy from TRACTISS and reported beneficial effects of RTX in⬇️regulating genes involved in immune cell recruitment, activation and organisation in ectopic GC #EULAR2021 #OP0136 @RheumNow https://t.co/FRUvo4JxTx

Do you increase spacing of TNF-i administration in your patients with axSpA with sustained low disease activity for one year? OP0138 results showed similar relapse rates in those with increased spacing intervals and those on standard dosing regimen. #EULAR2021 @RheumNowNews

Does Guselkumab (IL23-i) modulate gene expression in #PsA? Dr Siebert analysed samples from DISCOVER RCTs & reported normalisation of⬆️regulated genes (e.g. Neutrophil,monocyte) and ⬇️regulated (B-,T- and NK cells) signatures by GUS post-therapy #EULAR2021 #POS0195 @RheumNow https://t.co/2qtpxrrwkF

AVN in SLE is ⬇️ing over time! risks are same: younger, male, glucocorticoids & also found hyperlipidemia. ?due to older age of onset & less steroids over time & better immune suppressants POS0730 @RheumNow #EULAR2021 @eular_org https://t.co/IG3NVrZl4D

#EULAR2021 OP0138 - Radiographic AxSpA in LDA, SPACING anti-TNF vs continue care. 83% were able to ⬆️ dosing interval at month 12, drug efficacy recovered in pts with relapsed disease. Worth trying in stable patient who wants to wean down meds. @RheumNow

Do patients with #SpA have a different phenotype if they have "root joint disease"?

@AurelieRheumo @RheumNow Looks like modern art and not a prediction model. Lots of scatter in data by my untrained eyes! @RheumNow #EULAR2021

@MeralElRamahiMD @RheumNow True that axSpA is diff from pts with peripheral SpA predominantly but isn’t it circular reasoning to say axial has more HLAB27+ as that is group in whom criteria were developed including HLAB27?

Poorer outcomes with #JAKi in pts who get #SARSCoV2 but ? related to line of therapy - worse off if 2nd line advanced Rx in RA vs 1st line? JAKi has short half life so it washes out? And..#baricitinib added to #remdesivir improves outcomes NEJM @RheumNow #EULAR2021 #OP0006 Dunno! https://t.co/583z6Mlw3y
