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

For a drug that everything in RA has been built on, we're not great at predicting who will respond to methotrexate. It's probably because we don't have all the info. Adding pharmacogenomics increased optimal AI prediction from 55% to 76% @MayoClinic FRI0046 #EULAR2020 @RheumNow https://t.co/bwpSYQIBLG

Filgo reduces PsA markers OP0224. ? Unique to filgo, a JAK1 effect , class effect or part of any effective PsA Rx or some of the above? @eular_org @RheumNow @CRASCRRheum @earlyarthritis #EULAR2020 https://t.co/2O5wsLPNl2

I've heard people say FDG uptake on PET/CT in PMR/GCA is just a correlate of systemic inflamm. Look at the uptake intensity (SUVmax) vs inflamm markers in n=65 PET/CT in GCA. There's no pattern whatsoever. Not just an expensive ESR! @FreemanHospital SAT0272 #EULAR2020 @RheumNow https://t.co/D4xAZC7KmO

In this unprecedented time, I must thank #EULAR2020 and @RheumNow for keeping all of us focused on the future. It’s inspiring and I needed the reminder! @KDAO2011 @CCalabreseDO @drdavidliew @DrPetryna @philipcrobinson @LCalabreseDO @RonanTKavanagh

To truly address adherence, you need to understand what is impairing it, and tailor an approach to overcome those barriers. Great to see this articulated in EULAR recommendations re: non-adherence - a big factor in our therapeutic outcomes! EULAR projects #EULAR2020 @RheumNow https://t.co/0pazcDFTuV
