How can we better identify patients with #RA-ILD using #EHRs?
Abs#0561: previously validated algorithms have clinical & research utility when applied to EHRs, esp when well-integrated with key info such as CT chest reports

ADACTA & MONARCH both showed IL6i monoRx > TNFi monoRx for RA in DBRCTs.
What about in real-world data?
Looking at CorEvitas, less so
LDA: aOR 0.99
MCID in CDAI: 1.06
Even without MTX, both great drug classes for RA
Equally so?

#ACR21 A#0563 - Is FRAX score applicable for RA? 10 yr Olmsted County epi study: Yes
▶️ 76 osteoporotic fxs in RA pts, FRAX predicted 67 fx (SIR 1.13, not signif)
▶️ 21 observed hip fx, FRAX predicted 23.3 (SIR 0.9)
⭐️ No differences by ages/sex

Guidance on self-efficacy (SE) in IA were published this yr- what factors influence this?
👉PROMs & treatment response determine long-term SE
👉This may help identify pts benefitting most from interventions to improve SE

#ACR21 Abst#0786. Fibroscan screening for liver injury in pts on MTX:
▶️No significant correlation between cumulative MTX dose and liver stiffness by fibroscan, even at high dose MTX.
⭐️Age, sex, waist circumference, BMI are risks

It was a pleasure to speak to Dr Bryant England about #multimorbidity in #rheumatoidarthritis with a focus on abstract #1924, to be presented at the #Epidemiology & #PublicHealth abstract session on Tuesday #ACR21: https://t.co/qHws6B3fFf

Calculated 10-yr CV risk ↑ w/in 1st yr of new RA dx in 53 Dutch pts:
➤43% had intermediate (I) or high (H) morbidity risk
➤76% had I or H mortality risk
◘ avg 57yo, 74%♀, 72% HTN, & 57% HLD
*️⃣ Early CV risk assessment critical at RA diagnosis!
