Can we predict VTEs from JAKi for RA at all?
Baseline elevated D-dimer pts who go on to develop VTE
(but not baseline CRP, so not just general inflamm)
Questions raised about effect modification for VTE following JAKi too. This story not yet done

Leng et al. Tocilizumab biosimilar BAT1806/BIIB800 vs originator in MTX-IR RA. Not surprisingly they look the same. Great to see given negative clinical impact of recent supply problems with originator. @RheumNow #EULAR2022 POS0287 https://t.co/EqwINwcm7M

Long-term low-dose steroids for RA: can it be weaned?
Weaning after 2y of blinded add-on in RA:
either PNL 5mg/d or placebo
No substantial evidence of adrenal insufficiency
- symptoms same
- cortisol/ACTH same
It's never too late to wean the pred!

Hospitalization for TB and other opportunistic infxn (OI) w inflamm joint disease:
⭐️9% with RA, 6% with PsA and AS in Western Australia
⭐️Decrease overall since 1985, but recent increase
⭐️Sharp rise of mycotic infections
⭐️No PJP, likely due to ppx

GLORIA trial presented by Martin Boxers. 2 yr RCT, 5mg Pred vs. PBO shows DAS28 benefit (-0.37 to -0.62) & -1.7 better X-ray (vs PBO) at 2yrs. BUT signif more harm (AE) RR 1.24; mostly infx. Is this a good trade off? Abst# OP0263 #EULAR2022 https://t.co/kBiRYxXXZe
