Abst#0138 at #ACR20 shows the importance of identifying alignments & discordances in perceptions of RA tx between providers & patients, individualizing txs accordingly, & a need to engage in shared-decision making to optimize RA care. @RheumNow https://t.co/dTj0S7Zm5x

DVT/PE has been the sticking point for baricitinib in RA.
DVT/PE risk in integrated safety analysis >8y: incidence doesn't increase, but also doesn't decrease. No diff with dose either.
Every drug has pros/cons; it's how we manage risk that counts...

Data from the #ACR #RISE registry- 83,000 patients. Significant disparities in RA functional scores in Low SES, and got worse over time. ABS#0046 @RheumNow #ACR20 https://t.co/rcVb1gU250

Vaccinate your pts against pneumococcal- it works! 595 vaccinated pts with RA & SpA vs 2379 nonvaccinated followed to 10 yrs showed 50% less pneumonia if vaccinated even though those pts had more infections prior. Limitation not RCT & not vaccine I use @RheumNow @CRASCRRheum https://t.co/SySEL19Gcn

Dr Fernandez-Diaz on abatacept in RA-ILD in 263 patients. Abatacept appears safe and effective. Equivalent to RTX. Good option as s/c admin @rheumnow #ACR20 Abstr#0233 #ACRbest https://t.co/LfjqZpnGCh

Using #MachineLearning, multimorbidity patterns predominant for #rheumatoid arthritis: cardiometabolic, cardiopulmonary & #Mentalhealth/pain disorders. Patterns similar to non-RA pts but prevalence higher in RA pts. @RheumNow #ACR20 abstr#0179 https://t.co/zfCxzKquDV

Even in early RA, there’s pain – and then there’s pain. Non-articular pain common very common in early RA (even at 12m) and a/w worse outcomes.
Early RA isn't just about the inflammation: understand/treat the cause(s) of pain!
