The key data for treating clinically suspect arthralgias (CSA):
TREAT-EARLIER (MTX)
ARIAA, APIPPRA (abatacept)
but what we need to do going forward:
stratify pts better for studies
predict individual risk better, to weight up risk-benefit of intervention

Key arguments for CSA skeptics:
- definitions, imaging aren’t anywhere near as good as our own suspicion as clinicians is
- we still struggle to prevent RA
- it’s easy to go down a therapeutic slippery slope, and hard to track back
- labels are hard to remove

ILD in RA and PsA
@AurelieRheumo discusses inconsistent data inconsistent data have proposed on the effect of bio/tsDMARDs on the risk of ILD.
ILD is a severe extra articular manifestation of RA, with limited treatment strategies and poor prognosis.

Clinically suspect arthralgia-what is needed are predictors that enrich WHO will develop RA. Otherwise in 85% of Pts your (sham) Rx will work. If we need to reset the immune response- early makes sense but many will NOT have #RA over the next few yrs. @RheumNow #EULAR2023 https://t.co/vDv6cHqFUn

#Clinically suspect #arthralgia debate BE CAREFUL how you apply the criteria as sensitivity / specificity will vary if low pretest likelihood. @eular_org @RheumNow https://t.co/2XAwXbp1fi
