Does clinical enthesitis correlate with ultrasound enthesitis in psoriatic pts?
52 wk study randomized to secukinumab or placebo found a long-term stable response of enthesitis control
BUT NO correlation between clinical & US enthesitis

Persistence of IL-17i vs. TNFi in PsA treatment
Large database study
Persistence of IL-17i slightly greater than TNFi over 12 months
Are IL-17i a better longterm strategy for PsA pts?

Who uses #cannabis in #rheumatic #diseases? Those who smoke, have higher pain, more anxiety, poor sleep are more likely to have used cannabis for their rheumatic disease. Half of the >2900 respondents have tried #cannabis. Use of #biologics reduced use. #980 @RheumNow @ACRheum https://t.co/DQDRQN40zR
Comorbidities, including heightened CV risk, are linked to severe psoriasis. However, understanding subclinical CV disease timing in psoriasis patients remains limited. Dr. Jack Cush at .@RheumNow explains why more research is needed in this area: https://t.co/3KqQavVEbP https://t.co/Xo8SH0RTh9

Very cool meta analysis of IL17i RCTs in PsA
No change in MACE in DMARD naieve pts initiating IL17i across RCTs
A skosh underpowered but worthwhile question & useful data

Another day, another bimekizumab (IL17i) study
Across 2 trials, improved PsA specific QOL ("PsAID") metrics
Nice to see focus on PROs & I always love a good spidergram
