This single ctr retro cohort study by Dr ZKazmi showed ⬇️HPV vax rates & ⬆️HPV infxn rates
🔅In HPV+ pts, risk of persistent HPV infxn was similar among ♀️ aged 21-26y & 27-45y (p>0.05)
Is it time for updated cervical ca screening guidelines for #lupus?

106 SLE patients, mean age 40. Only 3.7% w HPV vax!
24% abnml PAP, 30% HPV infection
HPV highest in 21-26 yo (83%) vs 27-45 (35%)

What’s new w #classification for #APS? You don’t have to have 2 positive tests disseminated in time. BUT remember the the labs for anticardiolipin are shockingly variable btwn centres. @RheumNow #ACR22 https://t.co/NTqQ6h7fws

Even young SLE patients are still at high risk of severe COVID:
- in general pop, age is key factor
- in SLE, risk is high across age groups (maybe due to both meds & disease)
- vaccination makes a big diff but SLE pts still at high risk

Wu et al Phase 3 RCT of Telitacicept (targets BlyS and APRIL) in SLE. Primary endpoint met at week 52! SRI(4) 67% vs 33% or 83% vs 38% (P<0.001 for both) depending on how you want to slice it. @RheumNow #ACR22 Abstr#L07 https://t.co/nnKr4AU8Jk https://t.co/9BVF6OljFQ

#ACR22 Abstr#2068 Data from John Hopkins showed leading cause of deaths (1985-2019) in #lupus were #SLE & Cardiovascular (both 23%), then cancer & infection.SLE deaths common in younger. African-American died younger vs White. Need to improve with therapies we now have @RheumNow https://t.co/4tDhr1Eodm

#ACR22 Abstr#2061 It's time to tight control newly diagnosed #lupus nephritis patients. In a cohort study which 16% developed advanced CKD, risk was reduced if remission achieved by 12 mths of diagnosis. =>1 flare & shorter time-on-therapy increased risk

Hidekawa et al. HCQ use assoc reduced severe infection in LUNA SLE registry, HR 0.26. ?due to better disease control rather than anti-infectious role, but HR 0.32 in multivariable model including SLEDAI. @RheumNow #ACR22 Abstr#2059 https://t.co/EgTJOAymoF https://t.co/gmchk9ZS5L

Figueroa Parra @AliDuarteMD et al. Multimorbidity in SLE. Higher at classification - due to non-SLE assoc. SLE-assoc drive increased accumulation over time but non-SLE assoc also increased @RheumNow #ACR22 Abstr#2091 https://t.co/6IyhovSNYA https://t.co/qmYfoqCTtz

#ACR22 Abstr#2055 SRI-4 and BICLA: how do they converge and diverge? Analyses of 6 x Non-Renal #Lupus RCT showed discordance (12-30%).When discordant, SRI-4 classified more pts as responders vs BICLA. Concordance higher at 52 vs 24 wks. Vital to interpret both outcomes @RheumNow https://t.co/prSfTrv0E8
