💻 Telemedicine: would you rather have a telephone or a video clinics? Non inferiority RCT shows 80% satisfaction rates and phone-only non-inferior to video visits. I would have expected patients to prefer video visits 🧐 #ACR21 #Abst0112

⭐️TCZ: ⬆️cholesterol, LDL, TG. ⬇️ hsCRP compared to TNFi. No ⬆️ risk of Reynold risk score (RRS)
Take-away: good data on TCZ effect on lipids, but I wouldn't use RRS to calculate CVD risk on med that ⬇️ CRP @Rheumnow https://t.co/zMltktfHkS https://t.co/bwKXiGIi8a

#Abstr0076 #ACR21 Can we predict #thrombosis in #lupus patients? Predictors of serology transition at 5yrs:
✅LAC+ to LAC-:Afro-American,HCQ and normal C3
⛔️LAC+ to 🩸Clot:Obesity, low C3 and not on HCQ
Data need in those with Triple Positivity @RheumNow https://t.co/byeL5NjVUS https://t.co/CchtZir2GN

➡️Do lipids change w/ some bDMARDs in RA? YES!
⭐︎ TCZ: ↑ TC, LDL, TG & ↓ in hsCRP relative to initiating TNFi.
➡️Does this lipid ↑ confer risk for CVD? Not necessarily as it may not be atherogenic per Reynolds Risk Score!

Experts (Drs. M Clowse, Sammaratino) limit mAb TNFi 1 month b/f delivery or extend dosing. But, they do dose again for flares. Risk for infection is low based on the PIANO registry. Postpartum, they restart the meds w/in 1 week (vag delivery), 2 weeks C/S @rheumnow #pregnancy

In ANCA-associated vasculitis, does reverse seroconverting (ANCA+➡️ANCA-) make a difference?
relapse - no
ESRD - no
death - no
Don't measure serial ANCAs for prognosis
(no diff MPO/PR3, RTX/CYC)

Either we need to review the Yearly PAP cervical screening in SLE women or work hard to improve patient awareness. Suspect the latter as time between tests was over 4 years late 😱 and 2.7% developed cancer #ACR21 #Abstr0133 @RheumNow https://t.co/wm01MfoFjf https://t.co/blD8WafZsE

⭐️Anti-malondialdehyde acetaldehyde (anti-MAA) shown to associate w/ CVD risk in non-RA pt
Findings: RF, CCP, anti-IgG anti-MAA, anti-IgM anti-MAA (not IgA) associated with ⬆️ CVD death

Dr. M Clowse (on HCQ during pregnancy):
👉All pregnant women get HCQ 400 mg/day regardless of how big they are (she does not dose based on mg/kg/d)
👉with maternal metabolism/volume distrib, levels are low.

Patients with rheumatic diseases – requiring lifelong immunosuppressants— are at high risk for respiratory and viral infections. Over the past decade, an armamentarium of biologic and targeted therapies has led to better control of disease activity in patients with rheumatoid arthritis. Whether these patients, especially those receiving newer biological and targeted therapies such as JAK inhibitors, are at an increased risk of severe COVID-19
