Presenteeism and absenteeism in RA aren’t just about joints. In this UK study, comorbid anxiety, depression, and OA drove lost productivity.
Treating RA is not enough —holistic management matters.

Tapering in RA?
In SORAIRO (n=149), pts in remission on ozoralizumab+MTX:
🧪 49% became MTX-free
⏱ 80% spaced OZR to q8w
CDAI ≤10 maintained in >90% if baseline remission + albumin >3.8

#EULAR2025 Abstr#POS1293 Our cohort study support non-medical switch from Rituximab originator to Biosimilar(RTX-B) or btw RTX-Bs in connective tissue disease. No difference in response/B-cell depletion pre- & post-switch.Only 10% stopped RTX at 5-year.Better than in RA @RheumNow https://t.co/ERPgwQ3gZB

Recommendations for RA management at #EULAR2025
- MTX [or other csDMARDs] and steroids still remain the first line- nothing beats that!
- ofcourse minimize steroids!
- rather than stopping meds at remission, reducing doses may be a better solution.
Not much changed.

In RCT of RA pts in remission/low disease activity, spacing ozoralizumab (next gen TNFi) or reducing MTX led to more flares vs continued tx; but most pts in remission at baseline maintained LDAS.
Remission matters for subsequent Tx reduction.

The relation between RA, comorbidities and presenteism
NRAS survey 891 RA pts
75% had at least one comorbidity
Absenteeism more likely if
One OR = 1.68 or Two OR = 2.26 comorbid conditions
In particular
Anxiety OR = 2.39
Depression OR = 1.75
Osteoarthritis OR = 1.85

RA is worst with temperature rising/ climate change.
However SpA has the opposite effect!

What do we do when we see Rx signed of CPPD in RA pts? Do these pts have different trajectory?
Rx Retro study 388 patients RA
18% at least one sign CPPD
ns diff between seeonegative and seropositive pts
RA+CPPD group was
-older
-higher comorbidity score
-more likely to be https://t.co/DaW5DZoDzF

Low disease activity more difficult to achieve in vulnerable populations.
All rheumatic diseases - #RA #PsA #AS
initiating DMARDs takes longer in these population

Highlights from today included presentations on imaging in vasculitis, a debate on whether to treat high risk pre-clinical RA, and EULAR Recommendations on a) Treatment of interstitial lung disease (ILD); b) Physical Activity in people with arthritis; and c) EULAR disease activity score for antiphospholipid syndrome and d) the management of SLE nephritis. Below are a few others that caught my eye today.

👁️Uveitis in axSpA:
-Up to 40% can present before SpA dx
-NMA of 44 RCTs showed tx with TNFi, JAKi and IL-17i protective effects against uveitis
-Low rates of uveitis in axSpA pts on BIME trials suggests its possible beneficial effects.

KORAIL cohort: new RA-ILD progression model (inc. DLCO, ILD pattern/extent, anti-CCP, ± KL-6) stratified risk with high sensitivity & specificity. Adding KL-6 boosted AUC to 0.75.
A step toward personalised care in RA-ILD.
