Late-Breaking Trials in axSpA and PsA https://t.co/Fw8wiAPLoN
The amazing @Janetbirdope discussing head to head trials in Axial SpA and PsA with primary failure to TNF.
To switch to another TNF or IL17?
IL17 for my PsA patient for sure.

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.
SpA mimics involving biomechanical stress: BME & sclerosis
🔸OCI - assoc w/ multiparity, obesity
🔸Degenerative dse

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
