Interesting study on PEXIVAS reduced steroid use from today's plenary session! Reduced steroid dose in GPA/MPA pts associated w/ INCREASED risk of death, ESKD, progression of dz Even greater risk in pts with higher Cr lvls or RTX induction use @RheumNow #ACR23 Abs#0725 #ACRbest https://t.co/frsOrANKhf

Real world data on low dose PEXIVAS steroid by Nagle et al. Increased risk of progression/relapse/death/ESKD in those with severe GPA/MPA HR 1.72. More marked in those with creat>300 or with RTX induction Abstr#0725 #ACR23 @RheumNow https://t.co/vTXVZfjbXx https://t.co/4FuMjxOuyB

Higher disease activity and systemic inflammation at baseline associated with greater risk of MACE in bDMARD nonusers but not in users. bDMARD-specific benefits directly on MACE risk beyond reducing inflammation, Karpouzas et al Abst#0391 #ACR23 @RheumNow https://t.co/lfoccZffTW https://t.co/ASpKYQof1I

Yet another (mostly) reassuring report about lymphoma and DMARDS The skin cancer signal in the CIRT trial was weird; would be worth looking into that in observational studies as well @NamrataRheum #ACR23 Abst0438 @RheumNow https://t.co/Beg8UUe2mn
