Babies! Safety and Outcomes Data on Pregnancies
#EULAR2022 highlighted several posters on pregnancy, an important subject as most rheumatic diseases afflicts women during their childbearing years. I wanted to share with you the ones that caught my eye...

By now, those of us attending the meeting know how to find a free coffee or sprite, have found comfortable meeting nooks and know our way around! PAnd congrats to you virtual Rheums for mastering the multi-screen, multitask simultaneous consumption posters, tweets and oral abstract presentations.

More from GLORIA. Tapering pred 5mg after 2 years. Some minor increase in disease activity (DAS28 0.26) with no evidence of adrenal insufficiency. Can successfully withdraw long term steroids! @RheumNow #EULAR2022 OP0270 https://t.co/IV9iJLY22v https://t.co/ZXdwxlXorK

#ClinicalPearl Oral Surveillance chance of having a MACE was highest....you guessed it, in those with past MACE events. Some CV risks have different risks ex HTN May have less risk vs high cholesterol @RheumNow @eular_org #EULAR2022 POS0237 https://t.co/u9KkZrUKGo

Boers et al. GLORIA trial of long term 5mg pred in RA. Titled as "favourable balance of benefit and harm". I cannot agree. 24% increase adverse events, NNH 9, for DAS28 0.37 better at 1 year, and really no difference after that. @RheumNow #EULAR2022 OP0263 https://t.co/eO4f1CjH5q https://t.co/VyyZm1QvYy

Szekanecz et al. ORAL Surveillance. Geographic differences in MACE largely driven by history CVD and high baseline risk in North America and ROW. @RheumNow #EULAR2022 POS0110 https://t.co/cR6a7N2KP5

#EULAR2022 OP0277 MSK IRAE from Checkpoint inhibitors
⭐️118 pts w MSK complaints
76% w arthralgias/myalgias, 30% with inflammatory rheumatic features

Yoshimura et al. 10 year findings of TOMORROW study. Glucocorticoid use of even 2mg/day is fracture risk in RA! @RheumNow #EULAR2022 POS0631 https://t.co/c8uCdPzUiE

Was ORAL Surveillance really a surprise?
Let's look post-hoc at all the other tofacitinib RCTs (ph 1-3b/4 +LTE)
Cardiovascular risk-enriched pts were always in the same MACE ballpark with tofa
ORAL Surveillance was worse, but clues were always there

Montastruc et al. VigiBase study of CV and VTE events in JAKi vs TNFi. >270000 events. DECREASE in MACE ROR=0.87 [95%CI 0.80-0.95]. INCREASE in DVT: ROR=3.99 [3.15-5.04], PE: ROR=3.47 [2.90-4.13] @RheumNow #EULAR2022 OP0268 https://t.co/lUin7ciXWt https://t.co/Gr4Kvd8F7R

MACE in JAKi vs TNFi: did spontaneous reporting pharmacovigilance pick it?
Vigibase: MACE (really MI) & VTE signals there before the scare
Always chance regulatory warnings cause stimulated reporting
but signal here was clear before RCT-driven alerts

Video: Further Considerations of the ORAL Surveillance Study
Further Considerations of ORAL Surveillance Study - this week there are new analyses and sub-analyses that further explain findings and who this data applies to. #EULAR2022

A full day at EULAR with oral and poster presentations of abstracts in the morning and a plethora of scientific (review) sessions in the afternoon. The latter covering topics like sarcoidosis, Still’s disease, fibromyalgia, back pain, sarcopenia, APS, IgG4 and imaging in vasculitis.
