Targeting the HUGE dilemma!🎯
#Psoriatic vs Erosive #OA
PsA
👉 Fluffy bone formation(enthesitis of phalanges)
👉 Marginal erosions(vs central)
👉 Many jts in same digit(ray inv)
👉 Periarticular SOFT tissue swelling (dactylitis).
👉 NOT much hand OA

Dr. Alexis Ogdie on opioid use in PsA and axSpA, highlighting need for better interventions.
🔹21% of PsA pts (n=828) and 27% of axSpA (n=334) reported prescription opiate use.
🔹⬆️BASDI & HAQ-DI =>⬆️opiate use & costs

Direct-to-Patient (DA) PsA Screening Survey sent to patients with Ps without PsA led to earlier diagnosis of PsA in 0.4%(n=1149 patients) as compared to 0.3%(n=1150) receiving standard of care (SOC).
Mean times to PsA diagnosis
66d ▶️ DA
77d ▶️SOC

Hitting the home stretch, day 3 presentations were big! Here are a few of my favorites: secukinumab efficacy in juvenile PsA; VEXAS - predicting poor outcomes; and the FDA Safety Update session.
Should we start considering therapeutic drug monitoring when prescribing TNFi for treatment of our rheumatologic conditions?

Why is there more CHF in #RheumatoidArthritis ? Also dose response between highest inflammation RA the PsA then axSpA then PsO. ?Cytokine profile varying with disease and maybe CRP. Who knows. Abst#1925 #ACR21 @RheumNow https://t.co/JIH3qwkLpx
