HUR-BIO real life data, PsA pts started bDMARDs w/in 18 mo of dx vs almost 3x later in RA pts (tended to remain on csDMARDs.) This distinction may be explained by synthetic DMARDs on activity differences between the RA & PsA. Abstract #POS0633 #EULAR2021 https://t.co/VkkF28jm2f https://t.co/IkfGdZYNY3

Practical tip from #EULAR2021 Pres6882: The difference a double bond makes:
⭐️Omega-3: Anti-inflammatory!
⭐️Omega-6: Pro-Inflammatory
The ratio of ⬆️ omega-3 : ⬇️ omega-6 is key to anti-inflammatory diet

A giant in our field. He has been my teacher for most of my career (since fellowship). He taught me how to care for patients, conduct research, & teach. My favorite quote is "If you're doing nothing, you're not doing anybody any good!" What is something he taught you? @rheumnow https://t.co/Fyw1u8wln8

Would you use #Telemedicine (TM) to follow-up #SLE patients post #COVID? Dr So showed in an RCT (N=122),patient satisfaction and time-to-review were better in TM vs Face-to-Face. Although none had COVID, >pts in TM were hospitalised and trend to⬆️FU #EULAR2021 #POS1164 @RheumNow https://t.co/p7aWv4AVm7

@almirall_m I don't monitor routinely. High rate of seroconversion post-TNFi but only small cases of TNFi-induced SLE (mild mostly). To screen with ANA if develop SLE features

Looking at those results (distributed evenly each side of 'maybe a little') it seems we're collectively uncertain right now about what JAK1 selectivity really means in practice.
Hopefully we get stronger clinical insights (toxicity/efficacy) in coming years!

Which biomarkers could guide csDMARDs tapering in #RA patients in #remission? Dr Gul reported in a cohort study using a tapering protocol, 35% had relapsed. Risk score for sustained remission comprise IRC<2%, MSK-US PD=0 and RAQoL=<1 (AUC=0.89) #EULAR2021 #OP0182 @RheumNow https://t.co/y1Y6ug7f3w

How does MTX affect kidney function/adverse events? Pre-specified analysis of DBRCT: MTX 15-20mg/wk (n=2391) vs. PBO (n=2395) both with folic acid over median f/u 23 months
✅We demonstrated kidney safety of MTX
⚡️⚡️Also a *suggestion* of LESS decline in eGFR for MTX than PBO https://t.co/SZXloLRmnj
