This is a great pearl from John Stone. Rapid bedside detection of nasal septal perforation in GPA. Shine light in on nostril, if you see it like this in the other then septum is perforated #ACR20 @rheumnow https://t.co/aecwAWqxOz

COVID-19 changes everything, but our vasculitis patients particularly have had some really difficult decisions to make.

We're getting better at treating vasculitis over time.
In-hospital mortality in pts primarily admitted with vasculitis is got much closer to all-comers 1998-2014 (US NIS). Hopefully with more new meds, we've closed the gap even more since!

National Inpatient Sample claims: ANCA Assoc vasculitis pts hospitalized with acute MI (AMI) had a no increase in mortality rate (5.3% vs. 4.7%) during 2016-2017, suggesting potentially better control w/ new meds (RTX), less steroids #ACR20 Abstr#1424 https://t.co/TYELUAjm9d
