Cross-sectional study finds metabolic dysregulation in RA-ILD is indicative of poor prognosis- FGF-21 assoc w. poor survival. Another link btwn CV risk factors, metabolic syndrome & RA? Should we be doing more to manage metabolic risk factors in RA-ILD? Ab0803 #ACR24 @RheumNow

Not just the presence but higher levels of biomarkers predict RA-ILD progression. #ACR24 @RheumNow ABST#0804 https://t.co/5jhBjXDUeY

Medication-assisted weight loss has boomed in recent yrs. How does weight loss affect disease activity & PROs in RMDs? ≥5% weight loss, after taking a med, led to better disease activity & QoL Data may inform RCTs to explore effect of these meds in RMDs Ab0845 #ACR24 @RheumNow

Don’t miss the “window of opportunity” for aggressive treatment in early RA! with active RA, risk of ILD 6x and RA-related lung disease 4x higher #ACR24 @RheumNow ABST#0802 https://t.co/yxlfInte6A

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

McDermott @jeffsparks et al. SAIL-RA prospective study. 172 early RA patients. RA lund disease in 16%, RA-ILD in 11%. Disease activity strongest predictor RA lung disease, HR 4.89, and RA-ILD, HR 6.17. @RheumNow #ACR24 Abstr#0802 #ACRbest https://t.co/ia0koG64mL https://t.co/U1KdgcUfOy

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

❔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
