#Eular2021: Do you start a bDMARD for nr-AxSpa without objective evidence of inflammation (elevated CRP, negative structural damage on MRI)? @RheumNow

#Eular2021 "Just because they do not have nonradiographic-AxSpa, it does not mean that the disease burden is less (compared to radiographic-AxSpa)!" Dr. Atul Deodhar @RheumNow

Crosssectional multicentre study clusters phenotypes of #spondyloarthritis differentiating two types: axial and peripheral, Fitted well to either diagnoses of ax-SpA or #PsA. Still overlap of features like arthritis, dactylitis and enthesitis exists. #OP0047 #EULAR2021 @RheumNow https://t.co/sru9bT4mla

Using data of the E3N prospective observational study - including 98995 women - passive smoking in childhood or adulthood could be found as risk factor for #RA and potentially earlier onset

Novel Results from the @rheum_covid register in #RA patients presented by @jeffsparks #OP0006
Higher risk for patients on rituximab or on JAK inhibitors for hospitalisation & ventilation or death after #COVID19 infection compared to TNFi users. #EULAR2021 @RheumNow https://t.co/40h5zVpxAO

#Eular2021: Is AS & nr-AxSpA the same disease? The current consensus is that they are the two ends of the spectrum -- same disease! @RheumNow https://t.co/r0fTtp3Uip

#EULAR2021 M:F ratio in nr-AxSpa is 1:1. The baseline features between r-AxSpa and nr-AxSpA is similar with equal burden of disease. @RheumNow https://t.co/tm9Y6OB5TY

Our meta-analysis on IA GC effects on pain and function in knee OA vs. controls at different time points: short term superiority of IA GC, medium term effect is no longer significant apart vs PBO and long term IA GC non superior vs controls. #EULAR2021 @RheumNow #POS1099 https://t.co/mQ0bMF03IT

Data from E3N-EPIC cohort: passive tabagism in both childhood (HR 1.42 95CI [1.07 to 1.88]) and adulthood (HR 1.27 95CI [1.02 to 1.57]) associated with higher risk of RA in non smoking women (adjusted on age passive smoking educational level BMI)

Towards personalized therapy in RA with @MeganHanlon4's work: the synovial macrophage sub-population CD206+CD163+ is significantly enriched in RA synovial tissue, correlated with disease activity and baseline levels predict response to therapy.

Insights in RA and colon:
Naïve RA patients
-higher degree of intestinal permeability vs age and sex matched ctrls in colonic biopsies
-higher serum levels of bacterial translocation markers (LBP and CD14s); reduced in resp to DMARDs. #EULAR2021 @RheumNow #OP0035 @ClaireDaien

Can we taper IV belimumab in #SLE? Dr Fredi reported 14/48 (29%) extended tx to at least 5-weekly after 12mo of tx. No worsening C3/C4 & PGA but interestingly #steroid and SLEDAI ⬇️. More works needed to identify suitable pts for taper and regime #EULAR2021 #POS0107 @RheumNow https://t.co/Gwe7mPWPdY

In a UK 🇬🇧 study of newly diagnosed #SLE, Dr Yee reported higher damage in the first 3yrs but then stabilised. Death rate in the first 12yrs had improved to 4.8% (mostly heart disease and infection) but could still occur early (within 5yr diagnosis) #EULAR2021 #POS0111 @RheumNow

In patients with #SLE who attained LLDAS, a retrospective cohort study by Dr Cunha identified predictors of flares including anti-RNP +ve, concomitant immunosuppressant and oral prednisolone. Important to account these during follow-up #EULAR2021 #POS0105 @RheumNow

Do look out for Abst #OP0057 today 2/6/21 1645 CEST #EULAR2021. We propose a data-driven algorithm for #rituximab maintenance in #ANCA #vasculitis to avoid excessive retreatment and low IgG @RheumJArn @edvital P. Emery @LeedsMedHealth @LTHTResearch @LeedsHospitals @LeedsBRC https://t.co/XRR0NFnpMu

Don’t forget to detect cardiac abnormalities in your #RA and #PsA patients! Systematic transthoracic echocardiogram show higher prevalence of diastolic dysfunction, mild mitral and pulmonary valve regurgitation vs. matched controls. #EULAR2021 @RheumNow #POS1392 https://t.co/UsvbEKBRUY
