Atypical patterns of HCQ retinopathy: - outside the central macula - missed by standard central macula screening - 41x more likely in Asians! Lesson: screening with extramacular SD-OCT for Asian HCQ pts is so, so important. 41x over. @MGHrheumatology #ACR21 ABST0989 @RheumNow https://t.co/0w7ALHJDSW

How concerned should we be for #hydroxychloroquine retinopathy. >4000 pts prospectively followed. 1/2 w RA & 15% w #SLE. New risks Asian with pericentral pattern and overall. Length of time on use and ⬆️wt based dose per day & CKD all risks. Abst#0989 #ACR21 #ACRBest @RheumNow https://t.co/XTfdQpVC7H

In pts w/o RF, liver bx prev suggestd if lifetime cumulative MTX dose was 1-1.5g, then 3.5-4g. All pts in centre offered Fibroscan liver stifness associations: - age, BMI - not cumulative MTX dose maybe survival bias, but what we're doing now is fine! #ACR21 ABST0786 @RheumNow https://t.co/I6IhS3jhmC

Very interesting talks by Dr. Kim and Dr. Hyrich on DMARDs and Cancer risks #ACR21 @RheumNow https://t.co/Dl5WPo7mmj

This feels like an excellent starting point for Tuesday's ORAL Surveillance malignancy discussion. RWE Cohort: HR 1.01 (0.83-1.22) RCT-dup Cohort: HR 1.19 (0.86-1.64) ORAL Surveillance: HR 1.48 (1.04-2.09) Interesting day 4 ahead! great talk @SeoyoungCKim #ACR21 7S413 @RheumNow https://t.co/YSau21goMr

#ACR21 #Abstr0871 📢Argument against HCQ<5mg/kg dose from cardiac perspective in #lupus. A retrospective study N=296 pts, 13% developed CV events.⬇️28% in risk of heart failure, arrhythmia/cardiac death per mg/kg of HCQ in non-smokers @RheumNow #ACRBest https://t.co/6ssd2159R1 https://t.co/tllPWLnFFj
