Dr O'Brien on co-existent AAV and RA. Not something I'm used to seeing, but maybe we need to think about it more? 25 cases with RA+AAV, 52 with RA + ANCA but no AAV, not sure what the denominator is here though. Abstr#0428 #ACR21 @RheumNow @profgayecunnane https://t.co/fN3BRpc7UJ

Dr Adachi presents ⬆️BMD gain with denosumab than risedronate in RA. Non-significant reduction in fractures (very small numbers) Interesting, but need to see fracture benefit in larger study to justify dmab as first line Abstr#0445 #ACR21 @RheumNow https://t.co/GgaS9JZGzb

Diabetes puts you at risk of cardiovascular disease, right?
What about RA?
Look at this graph and compare the pair.

Year 2 f/u on PsA, axSpA, or RA using CT-P13, an infliximab (IFX) biosimilar. Pts either naive to IFX or switched from IFX:
💠IFX-naive: improved disease activity
💠IFX-switched: maintained stable disease
💠No new safety concerns

Interesting question came up: why would you change a RA patient from JAKi to JAKi?
The main reason I can think of would be if the first JAKi worked a bit (but not enough to continue, or AEs got in the way).
That would clearly favour to better survival

Loved this session on: Preclinical Rheumatoid Arthritis- Can we stop RA? As a patient advocate living with RA, my providers have always ran tests on my microbiome. The findings have correlated with my disease flares, and was a big trigger overall. #ACR21 @ACRheum Thank you! https://t.co/6hm6hr85JS
