Do certain TNFi get more affected by obesity in RA? I have colleagues convinced infliximab is better for obese pts (weight-based dosing).
It actually seems obese RA pts might do as well as other RA pts w etanercept, but not w infliximab!

JAKi and VTE from @WHO VigiBase @UMCGlobalSafety
Why the difference between Europe and US?
There may be a class effect here (there may not be), but if we really want real-world answers we need effective systematic real-world data collection

RA isn't just a disease of joints & tendons: muscle is abnormal even at diagnosis. Changes throughout disease seen on MRI: T2, fatty infiltration, muscle volume all vary at different stages. Plenty more to understand/optimise! @LeedsBRC @DrAiLynTan OP0332 #EULAR2020 @RheumNow https://t.co/PwjLuZ1wcL https://t.co/QSYZALfi29

I mean, the EULAR recommendations for management of early arthritis are tough:
"1. Patients presenting arthritis... should be referred to, and seen by, a rheumatologist, within 6 weeks after the onset of symptoms"
Does it matter though?

MAINRITSAN3 RCT, RTX v PLBO in AAV
28mo relapse free survival ⬇️ RTX (96% vs 74%, NNT~4), majr (100% vs 87%, NNT~8)
1. Selected grp (all pts from MAINRITSAN2)
2. All pts had GC q3mos - IRL benefit could be bigger?
Strong data for RTX >2yrs in AAV

1/2 We all have hopes and dreams, and we all need to support ourselves, our families and our communities reach their full potential. Racism, bigotry and hate have no place in a civilised respectful world.

2/2 We all have a part to play by stepping up and making a difference, sometimes in a small way, sometimes in a bigger, but we are all presented with opportunities to do the right thing. Making that choice and taking that action is showing you care. https://t.co/Zk3VcnJjBw
