Do you use RAPID3 in PsA? Abst#0633 at #ACR21 shows a strong agreement between RAPID3 remission score w/ DAPSA + cDAPSA, esp when redefining RAPID3 categories. Is this practice △ing? With more studies to validate, yes, since RAPID3 is simpler! @RheumNow https://t.co/2q0FLeBSkC https://t.co/M3WDTGzEOT

Dr Exarchou presents incidence of PsA in Sweden. 22/100000. 75% received DMARDs within 2 years, which seems high, so perhaps this is tip of iceberg with milder cases undiagnosed. Abstr#0571 #ACR21 @RheumNow https://t.co/kANG6KBnOd
