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

❔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

- Analyzed 61 SLE pregnancies
- Higher early gestational Mean Arterial Pressure before 20 Weeks linked to increased preeclampsia risk
- MAP trends at 8-10 and 17-19 weeks showed highest predictive accuracy for risk prediction

Cancer Survival in RA
Unable to do meta-analysis due to lack of data
HR for lung cancer in RA 1.04
No clear evid of increased risk, but more data and studies needed
Great research project by a high school student (!!)

Global meta-analysis of 61 studies shows TB Preventive treatment (TPT)
- Reduces active TB risk in rheumatic disease patients by 29% (RR: 0.71, CI: 0.57–0.87)
- Best outcomes in high TB-burden countries (RR: 0.51) and with isoniazid for >9 months (RR: 0.52).
- Dual screening… https://t.co/4P1982ngvL

FDA recently approved - fms-like tyrosine kinase 1 (s-Flt1) / placental growth factor (PlGF), for diagnosing preeclampsia.
sFlt1:PlGF≤38 rules out preeclampsia in SLE
sFlt1:PlGF>85 modestly predicts preeclampsia
Proteinuria impacts prediction accuracy #ACR24 abst#0809 @RheumNow

Langford et al. Abatacept NOT effective in GPA in ABROGATE RCT. 65 patients. Relapse/worsening in 62% vs 68%. No difference in any secondary end-point. @RheumNow #ACR24 Abstr#0823 https://t.co/yRFZ2diJFF https://t.co/LgXkPnDArE

Gender differences in axSpA extend to dse activity assessment tools.
PREDICT-SpA:
🔶️BASDAI score performed better in women.
🔶️ ASDAS-CRP homogenous performance on both genders.
Consider BASDAI for assessing dse activity in women?

Nationwide US study
-Prevalence of HLH in SLE: 0.13%
-Higher risk in younger, female, and racial minority patients
- Strong association with high mortality #ACR24 abst#0619 @RheumNow

Study on #AI-augmented remote care for SLE:
- Combined biometric, self-reported, and NLP-extracted data
- Moderate to strong correlations with physician global assessment
- Potential to improve remote disease management - but now very accurate for now

Interim analysis of a Phase 4 study of ARD (RA 25%, SLE 25%) patients shows recombinant herpes zoster vaccine(RZV) good safety profile, with no impact on disease activity (flare rates: 13.6% vs. 12.4%). Immunogenicity: 93% response in ARDs vs. 99% in controls. Rituximab & MMF… https://t.co/U3s48fLduX https://t.co/WTvD5shtXB
