Sleep disturbance common and associated with disease activity (both PRO and physician-assessed) in RA. Need further studies to evaluate causal directions, but may well be bidirectional? Abstr#1666 #ACR21 @RheumNow https://t.co/eK65I92wPg

#ACR21 Ab#1699: ITIS diet:
⭐️Fatigue ⬇️ in 20 pts on ITIS trial, didn't correlate with final DAS28CRP
⭐️Fatigue responders (50% improvement) had different fecal microbiome changes & anti-inflamm compounds, than non-responders

☄️Late breakingTRAIL1 RCT Pirfenidone on RA-ILD.
✨Primary outcome on incidence of decline of >10% FVC or death not met 11% PIR vs. 15% PBO OR=0.67 p=0.48
BUT
✨underpowered
✨reduces decline in FVC(ml) over 52wk (-66 vs. -146, p=0.0082)
✨safety ok

Safety update for #filgotinib in #RA over ~2.2yrs treatment
👉🏼Well-tolerated with no ne safety concerns since 2020
👉🏼AE incidence rates decreased or remained stable
👉🏼Slight incr rates of NMSC & non-NMSC malignancies

#Multimorbidity in women with #rheumatoidarthritis is increased compared to men with RA. However, women and men without RA have similar levels of multimorbidity.

#ACR21 Ab#1658 - Autoimmune Risks in Relatives of RA pts. 1st degree relatives have risk of:
▶️ AI thyroid (OR 1.3)
▶️ Celiac (1.5)
▶️ SLE (1.3)
▶️ IBD - no ⬆️ risk
⭐️1st, 2nd, 3rd degree relativ: ⬆️ risk of RA
⭐️2nd degree: ⬆️ risk SLE

GLORIA RCT: 400+ pts. Low dose Pred in RA >65yo on top of other treatments 2yrs.
Authors conclude benefit/risk balance in favour of GCs 🧐
2 thoughts:
1️⃣ CV risk linked to GCs ⬆️ over time and cumulative dose: Follow up= short!
2️⃣ Small # for CV events

What is the likelihood of developing an #autoimmunedisease in first-degree relatives of pts with #RA?
Genealogical & phenotypic data suggests lower threshold for screening for autoimmune thyroiditis, #coeliac & #SLE in FDRs.
