Wonder if you can predict which pts you can successfully taper off bDMARDs? Abst#1538 from Denmark showed that a neg IgM-RF (OR 0.26) & low Doppler serum score for 24 jts predicted successful discontinuation of bDMARDs at 2yr f/u in RA pts w/ DAS28-CRP<2.6. #ACR20 @RheumNow https://t.co/CbJTguxaoa

I am glad now that chloroquine is not available (permanent back order) in Canada as results of high retinal toxicity w chloroquine was sobering & changed my practice. I won’t use it long term @RheumNow #ACR20 @CRASCRRheum abstr#1825 https://t.co/1RQi41uV1B https://t.co/lc9za22Zw1

A large observat study showed no difference in risk of major CV events in RA pts that were newly started on either MTX or HCQ. A greater stroke risk but lower risk of MI & hospitalized HF was seen in MTX initiators. #Abst1993 #ACR20 @RheumNow
