Dr Springer on pharmacological response of RTX in ANCA-vasculitis. Suggest that 500mg every 6 months may not achieve sufficient B cell depletion in all. What are the clinical implications? Is anyone dosing 500mg as standard? Abstr#0416 #ACR21 @RheumNow https://t.co/w36hSYbW1B

Despite >20y of bDMARDs, our patients still have a 50% greater risk of cardiovascular issues
(similar to family history or abdominal obesity)
Cardiovascular disease in RA is not historic, it's today's reality we too often ignore.

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

Study by @BethIWallace @Tuhina_Neogi shows that we seem to treat fibromyalgia symptoms with steroids in RA patients. Its a bad idea in fibromyalgia, and has got to be bad practice in RA too. Abstr#0120 #ACR21 @RheumNow

PsA bDMARD use in Australia🇦🇺
(where once you qualify for a bDMARD in general, it's the physician's free choice)
1. cool Sankey diagram showing switches
2. given the chance, people switch in all directions & switch hard

COVID-19 has been tough on everyone, but especially tough on our patients in rheumatology.
We need to think about the long-term impacts, but also about how we can do it better next time.

Abst#0276:
Pulse Pressure (PP) can predict carotid plaque in RA!
➡️PP (SBP – DBP) assoc w/ subclinical CVD in gen populat. How about in RA?
⭐︎ RA pts had higher PP than controls
⭐︎ PP = only independent RF for subclinical athero
