#OP0089 Do you know the pain catastrophizing score #PCS ? Cross-sectional study of 1199 #RA, #PsA & #ax-SpA patients: Low PCS were more often in remission as high PCS in RA & ax-SpA. PCS was associated with remission rates in RA and ax-SpA, but not in PsA #EULAR2021 @RheumNow https://t.co/MYiLmPPbDN

#EULAR2021: If we review ASAS40 response from infliximab to tofacitinib, then there has not been much evolution in efficacy of therapy for SpA in the past 20 yrs. This suggests we haven't been looking at the right endpoint in measuring efficacy! MDA instead!

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