      Do pts w autoimmune disease (AID) respond differently to immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI) & have different mortality or iRAE risk vs pts without AID? Study of pts on ICI showed no significant difference in mortality in pts w & without pre-existing AID Ab2532 #ACR24 @RheumNow https://t.co/suywDdGIB1
