Still's disease is an autoinflammatory disease characterized by spiking fever, rash, polyarthralgia, sore throat and even life-threatening complications, such as macrophage activation syndrome. It was first described by George Still in the late 1800s.

CARRA STOP-JIA 400pts, Obs study w/ 3 treatments plans :
-Step up
-Early combination
-Biologic first
Which one do you think works best?
I'd say none: overall 40-60% not achieving CDI off steroids at 24 months.
Results: 42% for SU, 52% EC, and 44% BF #Abtr0960 #ACR21 @RheumNow

✨Great Pearls when screening patients for clinically suspect #Scleroderma or #Juvenile #Dermatomyositis
📌 Don’t Stop Work Up at Negative ANA if strongly suspect SSc
📌 #Myositis Specific Antibodies have different phenotypes in kids than adults (MDA-5, TIF-1g, NXP-2)

Nationwide study - low income - greater length of stay than highest income. Lowest income many be supported but those who do not have those resources may have an increased length of stay in children hospitalized with pediatric #lupus @dsoulsMD @rheumnow #ACR21 abst#0768 https://t.co/j7VDpVW7ND

"We need to do more than improving quality of care to close the gap in racial disparities." - Dr. J Chang
Trends of adverse renal outcomes⬇️w/time in children hosp w/SLE. Improvements seen across racial/ethnic group, but black-white disparity persists abst#0956 #ACR21 @rheumnow https://t.co/HcOwQiKCb2

The RheumNow faculty have been glued to their monitors all day, watching video, and running down abstract presentations to find the best – several of these stood out as #ACRBests. Here is a listing of “Best” they saw on Day 1.

#ACR21 #Abstr0261 In stable Non sJIA, is it safe to taper or stop MTX? Of 375 pts in CARRA registry, 24% tapered and 14% stopped MTX. No diff in flare rates btw those continued vs tapered/stopped. Sustained remission was in ⬆️tapered vs stopped @RheumNow https://t.co/Mm1yfzRBQz https://t.co/rkHvXWj2oO

The opening of ACR2 Convergence was a hit for all who signed up and viewed in. The day included the presidential address by outgoing president Dr. David Karp (UT Southwestern) and a keynote talk and interview with Dr. Seema Yasmin (Stanford).
The Year in Review featured a clinical vs basic science Brigham and Women’s Hospital faceoff between its two faculty, Dr. Karen Costenbader and Dr. Michael Brenner.
