What's the assoc between RA disease activity & ILD? Results @MassGenBrigham show early active RA is assoc with ➡️6x incr risk of #ILD ➡️4x incr risk of RA-related lung disease Early DMARDs are vital to reduce articular & extra-articular manifestations! Ab0802 #ACR24 @RheumNow

❔Can rheum drugs have beneficial effects on cognition? 💊Possible benefits with MTX and TNFis but certainly an active area of research and more studies needed #ACR24 @RheumNow https://t.co/lCnIRLwNjK

Can we predict who will develop #RA-#ILD? Wheeler et al showed a combination of genetic risk score, peripheral protein #biomarkers & clinical risk factors can help identify RA-ILD in RA patients. Does this bring us closer to #PersonalisedMedicine? Ab0799 #ACR24 @RheumNow https://t.co/JZkJNGmLM1

Galloway et al report OCP/HRT use in RA is not associated with VTE in UK population based study. Increased risk by having RA, HR 1.52. Risk OCP HR 1.43, HRT HR 2.32 - neither statistical significant but very wide CI's! Hmm... @RheumNow #ACR24 Abstr#0134 https://t.co/CZNoRfYWe8 https://t.co/uC6jA9lcX9
