Autoantibody tests are everywhere, but how do we make sense of them? With the proper algorithms, can we go beyond interpretation to predicting autoimmunity before it develops?

@drceowen @TheLancetRheum @RheumNow Efficacy in newly diagnosed & established PMR is not necessarily interchangeable
different treatment paradigm
?different immunologically
Many other diseases have different Rx for induction vs maintenance, early dx vs established.
Having said that: doesn't look great for MTX. https://t.co/89lByaYdYq

Lot said about #ACR24 ABST1697:
MTX in newly diagnosed PMR, neg RCT
Many have said no hope for MTX in PMR now
Agree doesn't bode well
However, MTX may still have role in established PMR
@drceowen & I have made that call a priori @TheLancetRheum https://t.co/ywCJc0zHzC

#Artificial #Intelligence can detect #osteoporosis
On #CXR
To detect #thoracic #vertebral #fractures
> 100000 #chest #radiographs - test and validation cohorts found + results on ROC
Helpful -sometimes vertebral changes are
Not read on CXRs

#Publication #bias to Nth degree.
>1/3 of registered #postmeno #osteoporosis trials are NOT #published
👇search of trials
673 published
Vs
489 not published 890000 pts
MOSTLY when performed in the USA
No accountability for NOT publishing

It is NO LONGER a ACCEPTABLE
To NOT consider
#MMF or #Cyclo + another proven #Rx
Added to
#HCQ and #tapering /limiting #glucocorticoids
RCTs in #lupus #nephritis support this
? Is which to add
#belimumab

Highlights from Day 3 at ACR24 included the plenary session presentation on Nipocalimab (previously reviewed), but the big highlight was the Lupus Nephritis guideline recommendations.
