Spondyloarthritis
Axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA) remains a diagnostic challenge, particularly in its early stages before structural sacroiliitis is visible on imaging.

Abstract 1657: Can LLMs track medication history? GPT-4 outperformed most LLMs in identifying TNFi start/stop events and reasons for switch. 💊 Common reasons for TNFi switching: lack of effectiveness, adverse events, and insurance/cost barriers. @RheumNow #ACR25 https://t.co/5FUR9tBoyu

Dr. Gensler gave a fantastic talk on SpA mimics
☝️Not all IBP is axSpA - interpret in the appropriate context + imaging
WOF other mimics
🔸 Sacral insufficiency fractures
🔸 Infections
🔸DISH

In a Brazilian cohort (n=791), axSpA diagnosis delay dropped from 41.7 yrs (1960s) to 1.9 yrs (2020s). Female representation rose to 50%. Non-radiographic axSpA now 16.7%. MRI and updated criteria driving earlier, more equitable recognition. Abstract#1407 @RheumNow #ACR25 https://t.co/8hIpX0a1Sa

A bipartite ilium is a common SIJ variant.
More common among women.

Classification of sacrioilitis using new york criteria vs a convolutional neural network. Abst#1421 #acr25 @RheumNow
Yes no results - accuracy was 70 percent. But the exact grade was right 22 percent times only! https://t.co/9o8OGesH0n

Bimekizumab showed sustained 1-year efficacy in axSpA across age, BMI, CRP, and HLA-B27 subgroups. ASAS40, ASDAS, BASDAI, ASQoL, and MRI scores improved in most groups—especially age ≤35, BMI 25–30, CRP >5, and HLA-B27+. Abstract 1451 @RheumNow #ACR25
