Looks like I’m not the only one who doesn’t let the absence of synovitis stop me from sometimes treating high-risk clinically suspect arthralgias i.e. ‘very early early RA’
The truth comes out in anonymous surveys!

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.

#EULAR2022 Points to consider @RheumNow
1. Consider the diagnosis! Misdiagnosis or mimic?
2. U/s when in doubt
3. Caution in comorbidities (obesity, fm) which can overestimate inflamm markers, disease activity https://t.co/YT9NRv7EA0

Prof van Lear noted 5-10% of pts have D2T RA; the highest risk factor is low socieconomic status. D2T RA have higher comorbidities and healthcare utilization #EULAR2022 @rheumnow https://t.co/PhPjhksyI4 https://t.co/JCByho4ubk

Nossent et al Hospitalisation with opportunistic infection twice as high in RA vs AxSpA/PsA. Has IMPROVED over biologic era. To me, suggests benefits of proper disease control on infection risk

Are JAKi fulfilling their promises in RA? H Schulz-Koops said a survey showed rheumatologists wanted effective fast acting Rx that could be used as monotherapy. @eular_org #EULAR2022 @RheumNow https://t.co/Gdel9YnAzA
