      Nice data from the OTIS Autoimmune Disease in Pregnancy Project re: certolizumab-exposed pregnancies: - spontaneous loss rate comparable to non-disease controls - no stillbirths - preterm similar to disease controls Plenty positive for CZP in pregnancy! #ACR24 ABST0805 @RheumNow https://t.co/XCRYsioxC0

Key findings: - Among patients initially at LDA, achieving remission (CDAI ≤2.8) led to significantly better functional outcomes and reduced durable medical equipment… https://t.co/SNPKlRieur https://t.co/YIQNMf3Oap

      I have no doubt many of our RA patients will take GLP-1 agonists in the future. Here's some data @UCLA showing significant differences in not just body weight and HbA1c, but pain. Will be fascinating to see what it does for grumbling disease activity! #ACR24 ABST2259 @RheumNow https://t.co/HdOPACEo3A

      What is #healthliteracy? Why is it important for our patients with #RMDs? Come to poster 1913 today at #ACR24 to find out about health literacy & outcomes in #InflammatoryArthritis For more information on this important topic, read my article @RheumNow https://t.co/llWs5aYtpK
      ORAL surveillance was a post-authorisation safety study of tofacitinib 5mg and 10mg versus TNF inhibitors, focusing on rates of adverse events, including MACE. A higher incidence of MACE was observed with the use of tofacitinib. Statins are recommended in patients with a history of atherosclerotic disease or 10 year predicted risk of MACE. But, how many patients with rheumatoid arthritis, at risk of MACE, are actually taking a statin?
      Instead of just JAKi, why don't we look at all our RA meds and MACE risk

      Instead of just JAKi, why don't we look at all our RA meds and MACE risk FAERS data & reporting odds ratios here: all the caveats of voluntary reporting, so don't put too much weight, but... prednisone. Don't forget pred is really not great for MACE! #ACR24 ABST1981 @RheumNow https://t.co/L9SlPZF2Jd

      "There's an app for that" but is it enough? US informatics national survey 2017-18: Rheum pts with digital health tools weren't any healthier living than those without (maybe helps exercise) It might be a conversation starter, but it's only an adjunct #ACR24 ABST1929 @RheumNow https://t.co/EZpSwm0zuP

      Always looking for cancer/CV signals from JAKi in big observational datasets w extensive JAKi use nationwide 🇯🇵 claims data RA pts n=52k (JAKi n=4.3k) Cancer with JAKi vs TNFi: aHR 2.2 (esp lung, lymphoma) This is a problem. Watch these data. #ACR24 ABST1336 @RheumNow #ACRBest https://t.co/vsnT46De6T

      Should you worry about giving TNFi to RA pts after a cancer diagnosis?

      Should you worry about giving TNFi to RA pts after a cancer diagnosis? Medicare data with colorectal, lung, prostate Ca: TNFi pts survival no worse (numerically better) than csDMARDs Cancer pts deserve good RA treatment! #ACR24 ABST0202 Suarez-Almazor @MDAndersonNews @RheumNow https://t.co/w58MNqRt1T
      Now we have GWAS, we are getting polygenic risk scores for RA, and we can see what disease risks cluster with RA risk.

      Now we have GWAS, we are getting polygenic risk scores for RA, and we can see what disease risks cluster with RA risk. RA genetic risk clusters with risk for: type 1 diabetes thyroiditis multiple sclerosis What draws these diseases together? #ACR24 ABST1365 @RheumNow https://t.co/28gU1nBEUG
