Comparative effectiveness in RWD of retention of #tofacitinib vs #bDMARDs Equal d/c of Tofa and TNFI in RA in OBRI and Rhumatdata, Canadian databases
OP0179 #EULAR2021 @RheumNow @eular_org
1/3 in each group d/c Rx. Some other studies show retention better on JAKi than bDMARDs.

Real world data comparing #TNFi to nonTNFi Effectiveness in US RISE registry >16000 pts OP0117 No diff in DAS in RA between TNFi and non TNFi use
Diff ethnicities may make a difference & SES factors. So interpretation of diff registries may show diff results @RheumNow @eular_org

More zoster but ⬆️serious infections also in >3700 RA pts from BIOBASDER comparing #JAKi to #bDMARD. ? Due to later line Rx w JAKi? This is diff from some registries/ real world data wher other than HZ, serious infections are equal. OP0123 @RheumNow @eular_org

Smog makes arthritis flare! Study of air pollution & flares in 888 RA pts. With higher air pollution, 70% ⬆️risk of ⬆️CRP. Pts Nitric oxide exposed cumulative over 60 days had higher DAS but <5% of drug changes explained by air pollution. OP0178 @RheumNow @eular_org #EULAR2021

Comorbidities in RA ⬇️response at 6 months with first bDMARD! 501 pts with 1098 bDMARDs Rx. Presence of baseline comorbidities predicted poor response & worse if ⬆️comorbidities. OP0299 @eular_org @RheumNow #EULAR2021 https://t.co/P9pYf93NXw

Does she or doesn’t she have swollen jts during telemed call? Referred pts with suspected IA marked swollen jts on a mannequin. In 1637 pts 3/4 marked 1 or more jts ~41% had SJC by Rheum exam. Sens 87% but spec only 31%. Reasonable screen. POS1418 @RheumNow @eular_org #EULAR2021

Can I use #Rituximab during #pandemic? Ritux blunts response to #SARSCoV2 #vaccine LB0003 & worse outcomes vs other Rheum meds (also pred) from Global Rheum Alliance OP0006 but pts on Rituximab have worse disease ~ANCA vasculitis& diff to Rx RA. @RheumNow @eular_org #EULAR2021

Pts will achieve LESS remission in RA, PsA & SpA if high pain catastrophizing score ~50% less remission in RA, even less in PsA (but not stat signif in PsA) ~75% less in axSpA. OP0089 @RheumNow @eular_org #EULAR2021

Rx of lupus nephritis in 2022 should have LESS prednisone, MMF + one of #voclosporin or #belimumab or #obinutizumab or #tacrolimus etc. Combine #MMF with another immunesuppressant for better outcomes #EULAR2021 @RheumNow @eular_org Voclosporin sustained benefit at 2 yrs POS0681

tyk2 makes sense to inhibit in PsA. Part of kinase family including JAK/TYK2, TYK2 is ⬆️in PsA. Deficiency of TYK2 gives less autoimmune diseases. @RheumNow @eular_org #EULAR2021 BMS Tyk Talk symposium https://t.co/knP9n0Qc0u

?Counter intuitive to have ⬇️autoimmune conditions in Sero+ RA vs seronegative but could be due to other genes that are more common in seronegative ex TNF promoter gene, PTPN22 CARD15, STAT4 etc that cluster with IBD, DMType1 etc & not shared epitope POS0313 #EULAR2021 @RheumNow https://t.co/eqLCTIU7A7

You get more general autoimmune disease in seropos RA, right?
Not compared to seroneg RA, as it so happens (incidence and point prevalence).
If anything, it leans the other way - what number of things is seroneg RA, anyway?
