Blurred line indeed, one could argue that a patient with ACPA+, arthralgia and sub-clinical inflammation detected on MRI is already transitioning toward early RA and fall into the category of patients we should treat anyway. https://t.co/Y1JceOijK0

Great start to #ACR21 and great recap of the year in rheumatology.
Positive data on tofacitinib and AS but still pending approval.
Where would JAKinibs be in your AS treatment algorithm?🤔

#ACR21 Abst#0910 by @rheum_cat. Do TNFi ⬆️ risk of incident HTN in AxSpa?
⭐️PSOAS cohort: Prosp study from 2003-2018
▶️When adjusted for confounders (obesity, disease activity, NSAID use), insufficient evidence to show ⬆️ risk of HTN w TNFi

Your patient has had 1 yr of remission of AxSpa on Certolizumab pegol, tolerating the medication. What do you recommend @Rheumnow

Dr. Thaissa Cotton on SLE + ILD and/or myositis: important given poorer outcomes. Ask pts and listen to those lungs!
💠1.8 cases/100 patient years (14/551 pts in study)
💠92.9% had >=1 med-to-high titer marker
💠⬆️risk if baseline +anti KL-6, Ku, CENPB

#ACR21 Abst#0916
⭐️AxSpa pts in remission: Full Certolizumab vs 1/2 dose vs PBO
▶️ 85% w/o flare in full dose, 80% in 1/2 dose, just 23% in PBO
▶️ PBO pts with NO flare STILL showed ⬆️ ASDAS, BASDAI, and CRP
🔥Would ⬇️ not d/c Cimzia!

Small numbers but mirrors data from TENOR and plenty to think about here. We clearly want to see sustained remission and Ax details, but very promising!
Definitely on the agenda for the @RheumNow #ACR21 GCA/PMR panel on Wed am with @LCalabreseDO @Sarah_L_Mackie @RichardPAConway
