#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

Can you classify SLE by labs only but should you? Serology is part of criteria but why dx with only +ANA, +antiDNA and no other CTD characteristics. Would need cytopenias & RBC casts to think of lab dx of SLE OP0094 @LupusCanada @RheumNow @eular_org #EULAR2020 @CRASCRRheum https://t.co/Jr6SRr3HR1
