Dan Clauw: obese patients with chronic pain reported improved pain levels very early with low calorie diet, long before weight loss, suggesting the diet may be having a more direct effect. https://t.co/aZDOtBd9mz

Majority are correct. 1/3 of SAPHO meet PsA criteria esp if no osteitis @RheumNow @eular_org @CRASCRRheum @earlyarthritis #EULAR2020 https://t.co/B9wp8JxWpI

What % of SAPHO pts do you think have PsA? More if synovitis Less if osteitis #EULAR2020 @eular_org @RheumNow @CRASCRRheum AB0038

When making a dx of neuropsychiatric SLE I order labs AND @RheumNow @eular_org @CRASCRRheum @earlyarthritis #EULAR2020

#Upadacitinib #psoriaticarthritis Upa works in PsA including imaging and when they show it surprising good PASI scores as well https://t.co/ZWqj8ythHB

Can we predict which RA pts will have secondary failure to TNFi in advance? B-cell activating factor (BAFF) may play a role, and in age >54, pre-TNFi BAFF levels predict anti-drug Ab. A potential step toward better drug survival? La Paz, Madrid THU0170 #EULAR2020 @RheumNow https://t.co/NRQHO2cVuf

MTX in GCA (+/- TCZ): can GiACTA data provide insights? MTX didn't add anything from data provided, but channelling bias a definite issue (note PNL numerically higher in non-MTX). MTX as adjunct/cover post-TCZ? We'll need to test for it properly FRI0220 #EULAR2020 @RheumNow https://t.co/BCsEKqqaMh

Predictors of not achieving remission in early RA, in Canadian CATCH cohort vary by sex: men: seropos, smokers women: obesity, TJC, lower education Different mechanisms of poor outcomes in early RA in men and women? @earlyarthritis SAT0053 #EULAR2020 @RheumNow https://t.co/fRgm6vtlPL

The link between periodontal disease & anti-CCP seroconversion is well known, but does it affect progression from arthralgias to synovitis after that? @LeedsBRC data says yes for localised periodontitis. Got CCP+ arthralgia? Don't forget to floss! SAT0045 #EULAR2020 @RheumNow https://t.co/CpqRyIWVK0

Primary Sjogren’s syndrome showed benefit of leflunomide + #Hydroxychloroquine vs placebo - past neg RCT of HCQ for PSS Sicca (dry eyes/mouth) so is it just leflunomide that works or combo? Likely pt selection - arthritis and rash likely respond to either @RheumNow @CRASCRRheum https://t.co/lsIeG2uv2H
