Do patients with early RA need to see a rheumatologist in the first 6w after Sx onset, or will 12w do?
Getting in before 6w is better for drug-free remission than 12w, but not for radiographic progression - although >12w is too long!

Here's the data for GCA (even though labelled PMR) using the same methods, both looking at first 1y.
Here's what gets me - it's obviously worse, but not that much worse... everyone's looking for steroid-sparing agents in GCA, but PMR's left behind?

For your new diagnosis RA patients, how long have they typically had symptoms for by the time they first see you?

Lots of talk about best bDMARDs in RA-ILD, but what about in RA-assoc bronchiectasis?
@Yuz6Yusof found rituximab had better 'lung survival' vs TNFi (similar baseline stats)
Something to consider in these difficult-to-treat pts?

For patients on bDMARDs having surgery, we worry about post-op delayed wound healing.
In this Japanese cohort, TCZ use was a risk factor.
Unclear if meds withheld, but given IL-6 upreg in wound healing, it's plausible TCZ might have worse outcomes??

Behcet's ulcers can be a real pain.
I've heard pentoxifylline gel be discussed before, here's some early data to back it up (need bigger trial).
Tastes terrible, though - so maybe this?

New genome wide association study on anterior uveitis. Heritability for uveitis is 0.7, much greater than axSpA. Includes great data on genetic risk scores @ARVOiovs @AberdeenEpi @hteraG_senoJ https://t.co/gsX39YfrbN https://t.co/e8qBpL5xwy

It is also important that I recognise the critical role of the @ACRheum and @eular_org to @rheum_covid as well as many other supporting organisations. Their contributions have been instrumental. We now also have corporate sponsors. Thank you all https://t.co/T15q5OwTLK

So maybe the optimal dose for psoriasis with UPA in PsA was tested? UPA works in PsA so another potential Rx for pts LB0001 @eular_org #EULAR2020 @RheumNow @CRASCRRheum @earlyarthritis https://t.co/GiT7H91umA

Whom with GCA should receive tocilizumab? What happens when it is stopped? Optimal dose for maintenance weekly or Q2 weekly? GiACTA gives only some answers. Need RWE #EULAR2020 @eular_org @RheumNow @CRASCRRheum @earlyarthritis #vasculitis https://t.co/aNvR14vfEV

#EULAR2020goesvirtual @eular_org should future giant medical meetings be a hybrid of virtual & viewed for months post meeting & live where there is networking & audience participation? Less cost and time for some attendees. Like cable TV vs Netflix @CRASCRRheum @RheumNow https://t.co/WqYQTpicAs

Hand OA Rx strikes out. HCQ Rx neg and colchicine Trial negative. I wouldn’t put hand OA as same category of no Rx as for SSc and Sjogrens but agree though nuts to crack @eular_org @CRASCRRheum @earlyarthritis #EULAR2020 https://t.co/QRe3UpKpbz

#EULAR2020 OP0333: Could SLE itself be a risk factor for retinopathy (not just because of HCQ)? @Janetbirdope study of >600 pts noted retinopathy risk factors: 1. longer duration of antimalarials 2. any use of chloroquine 3. SLE (OR 16.1 CI 2.1-125) @RheumNow https://t.co/seAR42K1SU
