      Is #calprotectin the new ESR/CRP? 👉🏼SLR finds calprotectin correlates w/ ultrasound synovitis in RA 👉🏼In some studies, it was a better biomarker than ESR/CRP 👉🏼It can distinguish ultrasound remission from subclinical synovitis Abs#1207 #ACR21 @RheumNow https://t.co/ADkRBq5KoG

      CATCH cohort: PT CDAI and MD CDAI correlate good to strongly at 3 and 6mo in patients with no non articular pain or w/regional pain but 🚨 NOT in pts w/ widespread pain! We should find alternative remote DA measures for this pop. #ACR21 @RheumNow #Abst1202 https://t.co/LsCtsfXsN1 https://t.co/gjeGxBA0HB

      In a world where telemedicine and virtual care are not going away, is there value in patients assessing their own tender and swollen joints? Work from the Canadian Early Arthritis Cohort (CATCH, @earlyarthritis) presented by Dr. Vivian Bykerk (@BykerkVivian) is the subject of two abstracts from Monday’s poster floor, exploring the utility as to how patient assessments might match up to rheumatologist assessments.

      We need to be better at identifying and managing #depression in patients with #axspa. In a group of 70 pts, many had high HADs-D & PHQ-9, with worse disease activity & #QoL compared to those with normal scores. Abs#1305 #ACR21 @RheumNow https://t.co/lNoo0HfMcC https://t.co/n7Vyl9L5FR

      Ultrasound in CSA patients: Retro US cohort 110pts 28.2% w/ 💥Power Doppler synovitis. 36.8% at 6mo evolved to RA among which 100% PD+ vs 25% PD- PD + predicts evolution to clinical RA (OR 13.1; CI 1.07-161.04) Easier and less invasive than MRI! #Abstr1525 #ACR21 @RheumNow https://t.co/MkhWTvnv3L

      TCZ in GCA: one disadvantage is that you can't use CRP+/- ESR for flares Mavrilimumab in GCA: - CRP/ESR consistently go up with symptomatic flares - CRP/ESR up less (cf. placebo), in the absence of Sx flares More signal, less noise. phase 2 post-hoc #ACR21 ABST1401 @RheumNow https://t.co/c0lMJMcQv0

      #ACR21 #Abstr1100 Pulmonary Hypertension is a rare complication of AOSD. What can we learn from case-series of N=13🧐 💠All were female 💠Severe at diagnosis: mean PAP 41mmHg; 85% had NYHA III&IV 💠38.5% mortality rate So, plz be aware of PAH @RheumNow https://t.co/gmXF3AzH2n https://t.co/s5CXrHYUor

      Atypical patterns of HCQ retinopathy: - outside the central macula - missed by standard central macula screening - 41x more likely in Asians! Lesson: screening with extramacular SD-OCT for Asian HCQ pts is so, so important. 41x over. @MGHrheumatology #ACR21 ABST0989 @RheumNow https://t.co/0w7ALHJDSW
