So what kind of changes do we see in ACPA+ arthralgia patients, in the 6 months prior to them developing inflamm arthritis?
- ACPA titre up, RF pos
- EMS, pain up
- ESR up
Good things to keep an eye on in pre-RA

‘Where have all the rheumatoid nodules gone?’
(Fantastic poster title @MayoClinic)
Don’t get to see them much in clinic anymore. Almost surprised when I do
Smoking is down
Therapies are better
RA is changing
(a fact worth remembering!)

#EULAR2023 #POS1069 SLR & meta-analysis to inform EULAR Points to Consider which included 15 studies showed that targeted therapies were not associated with increased risk of cancer recurrence in patients with inflammatory arthritis AND a historyof cancer (85% had RA) @RheumNow https://t.co/uK2XHLjpj8

‘Clinically suspect arthralgias: fact or myth’ - a great debate topic #EULAR2023
First, the argument for. And we start with a reminder as to what we really mean by CSA

To treat or not? Clinically suspect arthralgia does affect QoL including function. Both premises of treating with a DMARD are valid. OverRx v missing the very early window of opportunity @RheumNow #EULAR2023 @eular_org https://t.co/86CVZ2IjEf

Use of antîmalarials in RA reduced the risk of bacterial infection in RA, smaller number of viral and fungal to study impact on systematic infections Bredemeier M, Abst#OP223 #EULAR2023 @RheumNow https://t.co/RXuFi3LdZC

Natural sequence of events happening in a subclinically inflamed joint, serial MRI study
When progressing to clinical RA
First osteitis then synovitis & tenosynovitis
🦴➡️✋
During resolution tenosynovitis reduces first then synovitis & osteitis

We know HCQ adherence is poor in both RA and SLE
>50% in this BC 🇨🇦 cohort
All despite being such an important medicine
What’s super interesting are the trajectories of adherence - and we’d like to understand more about what motivates each group

Antimalarial adherence in RA and SLE showed 4 patterns of adherence over time, with 53% drop off in 1 year, with higher adherence with age, SLE and socioeconomic class, Hoque MR, Abst#0222 #EULAR2023 @RheumNow https://t.co/Bld5kWVQxE

#EULAR2023 #POS1075 Which biologics have the lowest retention rate in Elderly patients (=>65 yrs) in Rheumatoid Arthritis? Data from Italian registry showed 1/3 discontinued biologics at 2 yrs. IL6-i: lowest persistence; Abatacept: highest @RheumNow https://t.co/28n4qzR3aM

So we need protocolized extra steroids in new RA? A debate as old as time
Individual patient data metaanalysis
- slight gains early on, not sustained
- fewer DMARD changes
- but a heap more PNL, well after the protocol ends
Life is about trade-offs😐

#EULAR2023 #POS1066 “Diagnosis: Seropositive Nodular Rheumatoid Arthritis” - I can probably get rid of Nodular soon in my letter. Trends of Nodules have decreased over time. Could be because we are getting better at preventing erosion and smoking cessation @RheumNow https://t.co/fmQvyNHCUJ
