#Disparites posters #ACR24 - Analyzed 954 SLE patients - Black and Asian patients had higher severe damage events - Neighborhood disadvantage (ADI) linked to increased severe damage - Older age and comorbidities increased damage risk abst#0362 @rhuemnow

Disparities posters #ACR24 - Analyzed 10,604 SLE patients - 18.7% in the lowest SES group experienced functional status decline vs. 12.5% in the highest SES group - African American patients and Greater neighborhood deprivation did worse #ACR24 abst#0190 @RheumNow

Contraception counselling in #SLE post intervention - Contraceptive counseling rates improved from 33.9% to 55.7% - Women over 35 were 4.09 times more likely post-intervention - Non-Hispanic Black women were less likely than Hispanic women #ACR24 abst#0184 @RheumNow https://t.co/sOZXnAe4ov

High serum BAFF as a novel RF for dev't of preeclampsia in pregnant SLE pts? This study by Dr. C Sims et al showed that SLE pregnancies w/preeclampsia had significantly higher BAFF levels during the 1st trimester, and likely w/ ⬆️dsDNA or ⬇️ complement @RheumNow #ACR24 abs424 https://t.co/kNzyuT03r2

This interesting systematic review showed that the prevalence of ILD was 15% in patients with SLE. This higher than previously reported! #ACR24 @RheumNow https://t.co/O1aZUUL4Ho

Researchers developed a digital messaging program to reduce fatigue in SLE - Grounded in social cognitive and self-determination theories - Reviewed 148 messages, refined based on patient feedback - High patient ratings, future will see more of these #ACR24 abst#0362 @RheumNow

Ab#0427 #ACR24 HSS: menopause & systemic rheum disease severity 1/3 women report worse disease associated w menopause Reported more flares, menopausal symptoms Findings were similar between SLE and RA, but SLE patients were >2x more likely to discuss w their rheum @RheumNow

#ACR24 abst#0430 - Analyzed 61 SLE pregnancies - Higher early gestational Mean Arterial Pressure before 20 Weeks linked to increased preeclampsia risk - MAP trends at 8-10 and 17-19 weeks showed highest predictive accuracy for risk prediction @RheumNow https://t.co/37mg0WX43v

FDA recently approved - fms-like tyrosine kinase 1 (s-Flt1) / placental growth factor (PlGF), for diagnosing preeclampsia. sFlt1:PlGF≤38 rules out preeclampsia in SLE sFlt1:PlGF>85 modestly predicts preeclampsia Proteinuria impacts prediction accuracy #ACR24 abst#0809 @RheumNow

Nationwide US study -Prevalence of HLH in SLE: 0.13% -Higher risk in younger, female, and racial minority patients - Strong association with high mortality #ACR24 abst#0619 @RheumNow

Study on #AI-augmented remote care for SLE: - Combined biometric, self-reported, and NLP-extracted data - Moderate to strong correlations with physician global assessment - Potential to improve remote disease management - but now very accurate for now #ACR24 abst#0635 @RheumNow

Interim analysis of a Phase 4 study of ARD (RA 25%, SLE 25%) patients shows recombinant herpes zoster vaccine(RZV) good safety profile, with no impact on disease activity (flare rates: 13.6% vs. 12.4%). Immunogenicity: 93% response in ARDs vs. 99% in controls. Rituximab & MMF… https://t.co/U3s48fLduX https://t.co/WTvD5shtXB

Study on socioeconomic factors in SLE hospitalizations - US wide data - No insurance & non-metro areas linked to shorter LOS, lower costs, higher mortality - Higher income & age increase charges - Targeted interventions needed to improve outcomes #ACR24 abst#0615 @RheumNow

Study on pregnancy outcome disparities in SLE: - Analyzed 685 women, 1888 pregnancies - Pre-SLE state linked to fewer live births, higher preeclampsia risk - Outcomes worse post-SLE diagnosis #ACR24 abst#0440 @RheumNow https://t.co/NpEYQZ73uo
