@KDAO2011 @RheumNow Exactly: they asked general questions about what is important to patients - likelihood of success, tolerance, infectious risks as below.

van der Pol et al from BeST study. No association with diabetes for pred use HR 0.588 (95%CI 0.285; 1.21) nor cumulative pred dose OR 1.04 (95% CI 0.978; 1.13). Higher DAS assoc with diabetes. @RheumNow #EULAR2022 OP0272 https://t.co/QVjphcD7MG https://t.co/Buj8VAIJ5x

Increased risk of aortic regurgitation and atrial fibrillation in radiographic axSpA pts when compared to general population. No significant risk for AV block (II-III). Unclear if treatment affects cardiac risk in these patients.

Schett et al. CAR-T in SLE, case series 4 patients. Effective in inducing clinical remission in all 4 refractory patients. Looks like #rheummadness may have been (almost) correct @DavidLeverenz ! @RheumNow #EULAR2022 OP0279 https://t.co/frAU8COFs8

Do different therapies affect GCA PET scores differently?
n=47 LV-GCA pts, Padua, serial PET
(similar to prev @KQuinnRheum @petercgrayson work)
Need more protocolised data
but can't help but feel steroids alone doesn't quite touch the sides for GCA

In case there was doubt:
- steroid toxicity is real in GCA
- giving steroid-sparing therapies (TCZ, MTX) early makes a difference
just something to not forget when your next new GCA patient rolls in the door?

COVID-19 mostly mild for majority of SpA patients.
Steroid use associated with more severe COVID-19 outcomes (OR 3.15).
TNFi found to be protective! (OR 0.26)

Older age, HTN, dyslipidemia, CKD, cancer hx, and chronic liver disease co-morbidities increased risk of COVID19 severity. PMR was the only R-IMID identified and RTX tx also increased risk of severe COVID19. #EULAR2022 POS0203 @RheumNow https://t.co/TnhRnlWkX2
