PEARL: The first manifestation of AAV is often a migratory oligoarthritis. Favours lower extremities. Quickly forgotten by pts. Can often herald a flare. #ACR19 @RheumNow

Vasculitis myths/pearls by Dr J Stone:
- steroids can fail 60% pts (side effects/not work) w/GCA in first 24 wks (use TCZ early!)
- GPA pts who still have some dz activity, add some CYP
-AAV can flare even when B cells are not measurable (B cells are there!)

#ACR19 @rheumnow ABS2439 retrospective cohort study of PSA +HUC/gout shows HUC independently associated w/CVD, mainly w/ Afib (17.8% vs 6.1%, p < 0.001)& HFpEF (7.2% vs 3.1%, p < 0.001) in pts w/PsA. No statist diff in CAD btw the 2 groups (POR 1.21; 95%-CI 0.94-1.55; p=0.131) https://t.co/fZO5pjhdAZ

Can you engage patients in research?
You can, and you should! Vincent DelGaizo shows various studies in which patients participated in the design, recruitment, survey and material creation. Resulted in some of the most successful studies in #pedirheum! #ACR19 @RheumNow @carrainc https://t.co/QQdF4fuqSh

abstract L04 shoes increase risk of CV disease in patients who have calcium pyrophosphate deposition dz. A VA study of 24,000 males shows higher rates of MI, CVA, coronary syndrome and all-mortality with HR = 1.26 - 2.92 increase #ACR19 https://t.co/Gv4NLTc0NY

#acr19 @RheumNow Pearls by Dr Sterling West
1. For pts with gout: as about energy drink consumption
2. Dry joint tap- blow out needle onto the slide
3. Consider CPPD in pts with “seroneg RA”- May not have typical acute flare

In our chronic disease cohort, the accuracy of wearables in measuring steps can be poor. Different gait types & speed affects measurement.
Important for validity
