Treat early it is also cheaper!
5 yr cost of RA ttmt
€11250 ACPA+ > €3526 ACPA-
bDMARDS users
€44788 ACPA+ > €40896 ACPA-
ACPA- "late" ttmt 46% more expensive
ACPA+ early vs. late = similar costs

In ERA high BMI is associated with high BMI is assoc with failure to get to Low disease activity. From NORD-STAR RCT. Cdn CATCH cohort in #early #Rheumatoid #arthritis also shows I is associated w less remission and less sustained remission #EULAR2023 @RheumNow POS0324 https://t.co/9EXY8Dyz74

Predictive model to predict RA status via AI , to know what goes in to model or predictions may change. Ex use of DMARDs https://t.co/fkcEKfZWl8

We would think that targeted therapies would have reduced GC use in RA.
Well, this is not really the case.
Comaprison of GC use in 1999-2008 vs. 2009-2018
52% of patients remain on GC for>3Mo after initiation & 1/3 still continues after 2 years!

What is the course of clinically suspect arthralgia in CCP+ vs neg? 781 pts, 136 got RA and sl more resolved symptoms. RA developed in both groups ACPA+ develop more rapidly - if resolution, still more MRI + vs neg. #EULAR2023 POS319 @RheumNow Diff patterns of progression

Weather impacts outcomes in RA: myth or reality? ⛈🌦
Larger study to date 14200 weather-matched PROs
Mean PtP PtF PtGA scores higher in winter
Few meteorological measures significantly correlated w/ PROs, but correlations are weak

REMOTRA; REMote moniToring in pReclinical Arthritis
43pts CSA 6 Mo follow up
Pts acceptance and usage decrease during time (like many other studies using apps)
Composite score of PROs asso w/ risk of RA (...but VPP 12%)
Digital follow up of Pre-RA is not ready for clinic yet. https://t.co/o31dVEa5xt

Amazing the chatter in the room for this one. The idea that a new JAKi might genuinely outperform existing JAKi in hard-to-treat RA, without safety cost, is particularly enticing.
We all want to see the paper & healthy skepticism of ph2, but watch this space #EULAR2023 @RheumNow https://t.co/jEyk8zqZN8

A mono therapy study RCT of TLL-018 vs #Tofa in RA subanalyses of previous JAKi exposure have not been done. Pts could have failed #Tofacitinib & enrolled so data could be divided to determine how this group responded. Safety looked good in both Rx LB0001 @RheumNow #EULAR2023 https://t.co/4kBHxWmk0q

What about a new oral drug in active #rheumatoid #arthritis vs #JAKi #Tofacitinib? TLL-018 a potent JAK1/TYK2 inhibitor was compared with #Tofa and dose ranging of 10, 20, 30 mg of TLL-018 and many Pts w past TNFi and w JAKi. High dose won #EULAR2023 @RheumNow @eular_org LB0001 https://t.co/UXhT7LV1oD

Day 3 was a sunny warm day in Milan at the 2023 EULAR Congress meeting. Here are a few of my favorite abstracts from today.
A nationwide population-based study, by Beydon et al. (OP0044), has performed a more recent (2010-2020) analysis of cancer incidence in people living with RA within the French national claim database, compared to general population, measured in the French Network of Population-Based Cancer Registries.
The use of artificial intelligence to analyse large data sets using its subset component machine learning has taken centre stage recently in the management of rheumatic conditions, including rheumatoid arthritis. The use of AI is now starting to cross the various stages in patient care from detection, diagnosis, treatment and the prediction of long-term outcome.
