What are effects of TNFi on Lipids in AxSpA?
Ab#0531 #ACR23 @RheumNow
320 pts w AS - retrosp cohort, first-line TNFi, not on lipid Rx
Chol and TG increase in 1st 3 mos of treatment. LDL & HDL: no signif change
Inflam markers/Lipids correlated - suspect due to anti-inflamm effect https://t.co/qT5qUEOEvO

Is there a difference in secukinumab vs. adalimumab biosimilar on radiographic progression in a subgroup of axSpA pts with syndesmophytes or CRP levels?
Radiographic progression equally low in both drugs
NO difference in syndesmophytes or CRP

#CV risk in #AxSpA in Korean population study N=71001, age 42, 71%M but 16% #MTX, 58% #SSZ. #TNFi vs none 30% less CVE. IL17 NO CV reduction but ?confounded by line of #Rx and v large N for TNFi.

How did we get TNFi?
Sharp translational insights & courage++
After 4w, RA gone, up/down stairs like a miracle.
