Yr in review #ACR22 @RheumNow
🌟GLORIA 2 yr data:
👉Pred 5mg OD vs PBO >65y/o RA
✅⬇️ disease activity (DAS28 -0.38)
✅⬇️ joint damage (sharp/van der heijde -1.7)
❌ 24% ⬆️ a/e
“Weigh success in benefit and failure in harm 2 individualise use of low dose pred in RA >65y/o”

Dr. C Langford on #YearinReview: ORAL Surveillance noted NNH=16 in pts w/ASCVD compared to NNH 223 in pts w/o ASCVD. This led to FDA warning on all JAKi; how does not this apply to the new JAKi's? Discussion needed with patients when starting this class of drug #ACR22 @rheumnow https://t.co/XtJVap6yjh

Dr. C Langford #YearinReview: RDBPCT on benefits/harms prednisolone 5 mg/day for 2 years added to SOC in 65yo+ with active RA. Results: improvement in DAS28 (0.37) but AEs occurred in 24% (infection, low bone density)—NNT 9. Study does not apply to younger pts. #ACR22 @rheumnow https://t.co/p2C6IfSje1

GLORIA trial showing low-dose addon pred in older patients with RA showing modest benefit (including reduction in damage) balanced against increased AEs (mostly infection); NNH 9.5!

With ASCVD number needed to harm 16, only 223 without ASCVD
Focus on risk stratification

ORAL surveillance the big talking factor over the last year.
NNH of 16(!) for CV event (over 5 yrs) in those with history of atherosclerotic CV disease.

Great start to year in review.
Beginning with JAKinibs in the much talked about ORAL Surveillance study.
Good Review of the mechanisms of action for JAKinibs
