The amazing @SuAnnYeoh1 oral presentation showing terminally differentiated T effector memory re-expressing CD45RA are associated persistent disease activity in TNF non-responders (but not other bDMARDs) ?role in driving disease @RheumNow #EULAR2022 OP0011 https://t.co/OFradjuGvo https://t.co/flpFmcvixO

Dr Fabian Proft @ProftDr present CONSUL open label RCT of effect of adding NSAIDS to TNFi on structural outcomes. Bottom line, no significant difference in mSASSS. However new syndesmophytes in 11% vs 25%. @RheumNow #EULAR2022 OP0018 https://t.co/OcYH6oKbJQ https://t.co/kxH5vUdibe

178,000 cells from knee synovium studied to eval diff in RA vs PsA transcriptomes. With RA:
👉synov Tcells ⬆️TGFB1 express'n
👉⬆️FAP+ THY1+ synovial fibroblasts
👉receptor ligand network➡️synovial T cell & macrophage synergy
👉IL-1b & TGFb synergy #EULAR2022 OP0067 @rheumnow https://t.co/0uaFyqZqBg

NORD-STAR substudy looking at anticoagulant effects. Important as RA assoc. ⬆️DVT/PE. DMARDs improve haemostatic imbalance, with bDMARDs stronger effect than csDMARD (may relate to better disease control with this) @RheumNow #EULAR2022 OP0059 https://t.co/TKwAZMOZjY https://t.co/IazrfD7z7k

Pedersen et al report 6-fold mortality⬆️over 10 years in RA patients with co-existent depression. Even stronger effect in younger patients (<55) @RheumNow #EULAR2022 OP0067 https://t.co/vYYTmTnstQ https://t.co/xKgMu7zaOA

NORD-STAR TRIAL drug does better in ttmt naive eRA? 48wks
CDAI remission ▶️ w/ ABA and CERTO PEG vs. MTX+ GCs while TCZ not stat ▶️.
Is the difference clinically sufficient to recommend these in first intention over MTX ? not convinced 🧐

Incident depression is critical RA co-morbidity!
🚨>6x risk of death in 10 year follow-up🚨
Depression defined as 1st filling of anti-depressants
▶️Bias likely contributes, esp including neuropathic medications such as duloxetine, but data is staggering

Screen for depression in RA patients!
From the #DANBIO registry of 11,000 pts, they found
6X ⬆️mortality in pts w/#RA and #depression . The mortality curve separates early. #Plenary OP0067 @rheumnow #EULAR2022 https://t.co/qfjyejGVzQ
