Still more interesting lessons from GiACTA, this time re: nature of GCA flares on TCZ:
- visual manifestation flares were rare
- ESR or CRP raised in 3/4 of flares (so not raised in 1/4)
Understanding these flares is crucial!

Diagnosis in GCA is changing.
Some questions from these nice Olmsted County data:
- why are dx in women declining?
- in the past, without imaging, were we missing GCA diagnoses?
It's easy to forget how far we've come in GCA!

GCA phenotypic differences clearer again -
Large vessel involvement (on USS) in GCA are a/w:
- higher steroid burden
- first relapses occur later
- relapses harder to diagnose (symptoms less classical), but were a/w an IMT increase of about 25% (0.18mm)

VA Population study shows that incident RA was less common in persons w/ HIV (PWH)(matched w/ uninfected). Only 21 RA pts in 56K PWH. PWH+/RA+ have lower autoantibodies and less likely to get DMARDs. #ACR20 Abstr#0195 https://t.co/rERJVQfq7a https://t.co/g5lATtxqOM

An emerging change in diagnostic (dx) modalities used in GCA? Although the leading dx modality remains a temporal a bx at 67% from 2010-2018, this is a decrease from 84% (1950-2009). Imaging is being used 19% of the time from 2010-2018 per data from Mayo Clinic. @RheumNow #ACR20 https://t.co/J97oVAGObj

ILD in SSc has grave consequences. Abstr#393 Claims database in Ontario shows relevant Scleroderma ILD occurred in 17% of >3000 pts with nearly double the mortality #ACR20 @RheumNow @CRASCRRheum #bestinclass https://t.co/K3UXvuxBcp

Great talk by @rheumcat @rheum_covid on COVID-19 impact on rheumatology. Talk to pts re: what to do with rheum rx... they haven't read guidelines and may make their own changes! Prepare them for exposure/ifn! #ACR20 @Rheumnow 2F042 https://t.co/HkxbkYjEm3

@RheumNow #acr20 abs0405 RELIF ph3 rct: pts w/Behcets who achieve Full resolution of OUs w/Apremilast by wk6+ 6wks of sustained response also report better improvement in BSAS, OU pain, overall Dis activity& QoL. Only 29.8% were able to achieve 6+6 though, while 70.2% did not https://t.co/8roaO5YPM6

Rx in RA should be for LONG term #bestinclass #ACR20 abstr#222 shows in both bionaive & bioexperienced in 5471 pts #JAKi had more pts continuing Rx than #TNFi and other bDMARDs Not RCT & Longer durability data are needed @RheumNow @CRASCRRheum https://t.co/Uo4p5zo6gT

56 systemic JIA pts treated with anakinra (2.5mg/Kg/d). Pts were genotyped for 6 SNPs (from untranscribed reg IL1RN). Homozygotes >=1 SNPs associated with higher IL-1RN levels and 6 fold risk of anakinra nonresponse. #ACR20 Abst 172 https://t.co/0UU3gDfHvE
