#EULAR2020 THU0260 LESS IS BEST when it comes to steroids: Singapore 10 yr retrospect SLE study noted GCs dose is an independent predictor of mortality for hospitalized infection even when adjusted for disease activity.

#tacrolimus #prograf is non inferior to #MMF #cellcept in #lupus #nephritis induction. We’ve been doing it for years but great to see some solid RCT data behind this. #rheumatology #SLE #autoimmune https://t.co/CblD4GaXCp

#EULAR2020 THU0268 Neuro-develp't in 60 children w/ SLE +APS mothers (n=38): 25% ADHD 93% recent memory delay (assc w/⬆️tetrahydrobiopterin level. p=0.01) 40% speech delay 39.4% maternal APS assc w/special needs education in offsprings age >2 yrs, p<0.05 @rheumnow

#EULAR2020 Dr. V Ritschl:EULAR Task Force on Patient Adherance: 30-80% of pts do not adhere to Rx. resulting in ⬆️dz severity, pain, fatigue, depression, decreased in function, physical activity. HCPs should discuss adherance reg. & explore factors affecting adherance. @RheumNow

#EULAR2020 Dr. M. Voshaar noted HCPs can improve patient Rx adherance by asking: 1. What are the pts goals w/treatment? 2. Are there barriers to obtaining and taking meds? 3. Do pts feel sufficiently involved in the shared decision making process? @rheumnow

ENbrel works in long term for the few people left on the drug at 10 yrs with SpA. Enormous dropout. If you are still on Rx for a decade you are in the minority. Drop out of TNFi in SpA mirrors RA & PsA @RheumNow @eular_org @CRASCRRheum @earlyarthritis #EULAR2020 https://t.co/dLS2fw5uRP

#EULAR2020 THU0225 Results of a Retrospect UK study: Monitor SLE patients with Sm+Ro+RNP autoAb combo closely; these patients have a higher rate (90.6%) of developing LN within 5 years of diagnosis compared to those w/o Ab (55.8%), p=0.002. @RheumNow

#EULAR2020 - it's been a blast! Thanks as always for everyone following the meeting on Twitter - the conversation on here has made the meeting for me! It's been lots of fun covering the meeting for @RheumNow - look out for some videos out on https://t.co/j0ZwZujGBj next week 🙂 https://t.co/0bdQKsuoND

Your #RA patients in low disease or remission, do you maintain, reduce or stop DMARDs #EULAR2020

#EULAR2020 Updated RA Mgmt Recc Main points: 1. MTX 1st line (if contraind, then SSZ/LEF; NOT HCQ) 2. Add bDMARD/JAKi if 1st csDMARD doesn't work + poor Px 3. Use IL-6i or JAKi for pts who can only take monoRx and failed csDMARD @RheumNow https://t.co/AIXz2dEOrX

Study in Norway reveals that the majority of the women w/ SpA were not treated with TNF inhibitors before or during pregnancy. Few on TNFi were continued on tx during pregnancy. #EULAR2020 @RheumNow https://t.co/t7B6pASeWQ https://t.co/BwU6RF5Qkn
