Some great abstracts on #vaccine hesitancy in the #infection in #rheumaticdiseases poster session!
What's the greatest concern for patients offered #influenza & #pneumococcal vaccines?
How can we address these concerns & encourage vaccine uptake? Comment below!

T2T in clinical practice: Most axSpA pts had ≥1 annual ASDAS recorded, but target ID/LDA achieved in only 1/3 of pts at the first measurement. How do you address T2T in your practice? #ABS0879 #ACR20 @RheumNow https://t.co/Jy0mmqpHAb https://t.co/06fI10V3OZ

Great job by @Rheumnow's Dr. Jonathan Kay on CT-P17, ADA biosimilar in Abst#0800. Similar ACR20 83% rate for ADA and CT-P17 with similar safety profile. #ACR20.

Lots at #ACR20 on arthralgias w/ +CCP. Abst#760 shows bone erosions (BE) rare in these pts (4%), did not show higher risk of progression to IA (41% w BE vs 31% wo BE, p=0.4). Overall high progression, unclear if high enough # with BE for analysis. @RheumNow.

Tracking CRP in the hyper-acute phase of admission for #COVID19 predictive of progression to critical illness- suggests trends of inflammatory biomarkers, not absolute admission values, may be most useful for triage & therapy.

Baseline characteristics differed between M/F pts w/ AS & nr-axSpA. Women were older at dz onset w/longer symptom duration & more joint dz and were less likely to be + HLA-B27 than men. Do you see this in your practice? #ABS0876 #ACR20 @RheumNow https://t.co/2goek1NiUW https://t.co/Uk8pmNP4Hr

Patients with ARDs have incr. susceptibility to #infection. Real-world study shows suboptimal #influenza, #pneumococcal & #herpeszoster #vaccination coverage in these patients. Important to consider strategies to improve uptake.

Serial RF titers? Abst#0754 from Japan: Pts with RF>45, tracked RF at month 0/4/12 after starting b/tsDMARD. 46/130 had RF decrease titers, had better radiographic remission/DAS28-ESR. Limits: varied Rx, More aggressive Rx w RF decrease grp @RheumNow. #ACR20

Dr Vargas-Santos reported on risk of gout with SGLT2-inhibitors using THIN database. Canagliflozin shown in prior RCT to reduce gout risk. Here dapagliflozin and empagliflozin showed even stronger effect @rheumnow #ACR20 Abstr#660 https://t.co/MTjByMmHo7

Hydroxychloroquine may reduce rate of progression of systemic sclerosis associated pulmonary hypertension when initiated early (<18 months).
Prospective, observational study.

Dr Minalyan and colleagues report rates of gout flare following hospital admission of patients prescribed allopurinol. Gout flare 14 times more likely if allopurinol stopped or omitted. @rheumnow #ACR20 Abstr#688 https://t.co/x3eyX1PLFB

#ACR20 @RheumNow. We think of dichotomy of erosive vs. non-erosive but Abst#0748 shows joint space narrowing precedes erosive disease and requires more attention for early recognition. https://t.co/JLd3xVTlXM

FUTURE2 analysis of 78 TJC and 76 SJC scores in PsA pts treated with SEC demonstrated improvements in synovitis at Week 24 sustained over 5 years, irrespective of TNFi history & concomitant MTX use. #ABS0875 #ACR20#ACRbest @RheumNow https://t.co/U8B50PTWET https://t.co/fUK1JO10ox

Study of 372 new #hydroxychloroquine users suggests risk of #HCQ #retinopathy at 10yrs is lower compared to previous prevalence-based estimates, although dose >5mg/kg may increase this risk.

Mayo study found incidence of HCQ retinopathy w/ <5 mg/kg/d 5 years = 0%, at 10 years = 2.5%
(historically w/ 6.5 mg/kg/d 5 yr incidence 1%,10 years 2%, 20 years 20%)
Based on this study, which dose of HCQ will you prescribe?

Dr McCormick reports sequential patterns of gout flare from the Boston Online Gout Study. Second attack most likely to affect ipsilateral same joint, and second most likely contralateral same joint. @rheumnow #ACR20 Abstr#672 https://t.co/2AAMvcOCk8
