The journey to axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA) diagnosis is often prolonged and challenging. Understanding the factors contributing to the delays is important to improve the clinical, psychological, social and economic outcomes. Data from the SPACE cohort (abstract 0566), the ASAS-PerSpA study (abstract 0550) and the US Claims data (abstract 0558), allows us to highlight the barriers to early diagnosis of axSpA and identify opportunities for

Systematic review & meta-analysis by DrHChaudhary et al @DaoudAnsaam @mmagrey1
showed that males w/ axSpA who were treated with biologics had ⬆️ BASDAI150 response & likely w/ ASDAS low dse activity vs. females w/axSpA
Again, effect of gender differences

Active GPA s/p tx -> randomized to d/c pred within 1 mo or stay on 5mg daily
Fewer relapses on 5mg pred but w/qualifications:
👉 most flares = minor
👉 no difference in flares if RTX on board

Coming from somewhere where biosimilars are SOC for many years, I just find it wild how things are biosimilar wise in the US. Reflected by so many abstracts, including lots of oral presentations, essentially on showing biosimilars work. #ACR24 @RheumNow

What is my risk of developing SLE?
Abstract 0843 highlights a predictive model that accurately classifies SLE risk using genetics, lifestyle, and environmental factors. Model 3 (genetics + environment + lifestyle) performed the best compared to models 1 and 2.

Challener et al. TriNetX study. 32,000 patients. SGLT2i reduce need for gout visits (HR 0.94) ULT initiation (HR 0.69) and colchicine (HR 0.82). I worry about the discordant rates, ULT initiation much lower. @RheumNow #ACR24 Abstr#0848 https://t.co/VTKHMmDEKV https://t.co/C2opiDmBXx
