10 year study showed NSAIDs associated with slowing radiographic progression in axSpA patients. mSASSS progression numerically lower in COX2i pts compared to non-selective NSAIDs.

More #EULAR2022 Updated Reccs for #AAV
👉use clinical assessments & not just ANCA or CD19+ B-cell testing to inform decision for change in Rx.
👉measure Ig levels w/RTX prior to each course of RTX (to eval for immunodeficiency)
👉use PJP prophylaxis in high risk pts @rheumnow https://t.co/kYPQnLvcCK

Combination tx of NSAIDs and TNFi (celecoxib and golimumab) did not show significant superiority compared to TNFi alone in slowing radiographic progression for treatment of radiographic axSpA. There was a numerical reduction however.

▶️ In 2021, 73.6% of Belgian RA patients staring a JAKi, started a 2nd generation JAKi (UPA, FIL).
Predictors for 1st generation usage (BAR, TOFA): older age, prior DMARD therapies.
What would you start as a first JAKi?
