Do patients with early RA need to see a rheumatologist in the first 6w after Sx onset, or will 12w do? Getting in before 6w is better for drug-free remission than 12w, but not for radiographic progression - although >12w is too long! Leiden/ESPOIR OP0222 #EULAR2020 @RheumNow https://t.co/uaLsK4TMSR

Here's the data for GCA (even though labelled PMR) using the same methods, both looking at first 1y. Here's what gets me - it's obviously worse, but not that much worse... everyone's looking for steroid-sparing agents in GCA, but PMR's left behind?

For your new diagnosis RA patients, how long have they typically had symptoms for by the time they first see you? #EULAR2020 @RheumNow

Lots of talk about best bDMARDs in RA-ILD, but what about in RA-assoc bronchiectasis? @Yuz6Yusof found rituximab had better 'lung survival' vs TNFi (similar baseline stats) Something to consider in these difficult-to-treat pts? @LeedsBRC Newcastle THU0143 #EULAR2020 @RheumNow https://t.co/XpffkDNqhU

For patients on bDMARDs having surgery, we worry about post-op delayed wound healing. In this Japanese cohort, TCZ use was a risk factor. Unclear if meds withheld, but given IL-6 upreg in wound healing, it's plausible TCZ might have worse outcomes?? SAT0047 #EULAR2020 @RheumNow https://t.co/HVIKPplwiA

Behcet's ulcers can be a real pain. I've heard pentoxifylline gel be discussed before, here's some early data to back it up (need bigger trial). Tastes terrible, though - so maybe this? https://t.co/TrSlIKdWX3 (or a commercial prep might solve it) SAT0260 #EULAR2020 @RheumNow https://t.co/lvDY39ZbIH
