#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

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?

CORRONA: Majority of PsA pts who initiated an advanced therapy had mild to moderate skin involvement. Decision to change therapy w/ rheumatologist based mainly on MSK symptoms. #ABS0873 #ACR20 @RheumNow https://t.co/mOXg5B7goI https://t.co/mqddMYQ3i0

Will we start getting fine-specificity ACPAs to drive treatment of RA? Abst#0743 shows fs-ACPA (anti-fibrinogen B) predict greater response to ABA+MTX vs MTX alone. #ACR20 @RheumNow. Role of RA antibodies will continue to evolve and guide Rx. https://t.co/pY4mm19Jc7

Pooled analysis from MEASURE 1-5 showed SEC was effective for AS regardless of HLA-B27 status. HLA-B27+ pts had more therapeutic benefit vs. HLA-B27- pts.
