#ACR21 Ab#1939: Tofa CV Outcome (STAR-RA) ▶️Pooled data does not show ⬆️ risk of CVD ▶️Trend in pts w prior CVD -HR 1.27 (0.95-1.7), cannot r/o CVD risk in pts w risk factors Less clear than oral surveillance data, but concerns in those w risks https://t.co/JOKNyYVZfX @Rheumnow https://t.co/GGYJfxcqhc

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

Should we be measuring drug levels in pts taking infliximab? ⭐️Drug monitoring vs. standard dosing showed 73% sustained control vs. 55% (RA, PsA, SpA, UC, Crohn's, PsO) #ACR21 Abs#1946 #ACRBest @RheumNow https://t.co/sWMen50ljP https://t.co/F4Wpqis3id

Anti-MAA Ab is not ‘baa’ humbug. In prevalent #RheumatoidArthritis, + MAA Ab was predictive of developing #RA #ILD. ? Novel biomarker. Needs validation but nice convincing data @RheumNow #ACR21 #ACRBest abst#1916 https://t.co/wuTPzSIsey

Another study linking long term GC and CV risk in RA! Medicare data >65yo 130000+ pts 1-year incidence CV ⬆️ as follows: 📍Dose ≤5mg 1.4% 📍Dose 5-10mg 1.7% 📍Dose >10mg 1.9% Not replicated in younger pts (Optum data) #ACR21 #Abst1915 @RheumNow https://t.co/DLXdfvfiBW

Abst 1916 England & colleagues determined if anti-MAA Ab = predictor of incident RA-ILD - Anti-MAA Ab significantly associated w/ incident RA-ILD - Strongly associated w/ higher concentrations anti-MAA - Antibody associations = antigen/isotype dependent #ACR21 @RheumNow https://t.co/z1RspmxBvc https://t.co/hvUm4O6RmX

DAS-28 independently associated survival in RA-ILD. As I keep saying, treating the rheumatoid disease properly is the current best strategy for treating RA-ILD. Abstr#1918 #ACR21 @RheumNow #ACRBest https://t.co/FpUK6upyOi

Is there a relationship between the weather and RA disease activity?⛈️ #ACR21 Abs#1912 🌡️Temperature & humidity significantly affect pain, TJC & SJC 🌦️PGA was mostly influenced by humidity Should we take the weather into account when assessing patients? @RheumNow https://t.co/e3PewZWkLR
