We're getting better at treating vasculitis over time.
In-hospital mortality in pts primarily admitted with vasculitis is got much closer to all-comers 1998-2014 (US NIS). Hopefully with more new meds, we've closed the gap even more since!

Dr. Crow's #StateoftheArt lecture revealed that BEL may be best used in pts with < 2 years and SLEDAI >10 based on the study from Gatto, M et al from 2020. Does this change how you will use BEL in your practice? #ACR20 @RheumNow

Can hs-troponin and hsCRP predict future major cardiovascular events? Certainly appears so in RA pts (n=636).
To what extent do subclinical dx and inflammation combine to cause future RA CV pain?

The lung-joint axis in RA just keeps on getting stronger
Lung ACPA present in early untreated RA/CSA:
crossreact acetylated/carbamylated antigens
differ in effects on cell types (neut activation, fibroblasts, osteoclasts)
Isn't lung ACPA fascinating?

National Inpatient Sample claims: ANCA Assoc vasculitis pts hospitalized with acute MI (AMI) had a no increase in mortality rate (5.3% vs. 4.7%) during 2016-2017, suggesting potentially better control w/ new meds (RTX), less steroids #ACR20 Abstr#1424 https://t.co/TYELUAjm9d

Treat-to-target trials keep getting harder:
- rheum attitudes changed by prev trials so usual care is already v good
- ?less inflamm dx
- more ambitious goals
ASDAS LDA/40/20 and cost-effective not enough?
TICOSPA 'failed' a very high hurdle
