π Are 2025 ASAS-SPARTAN criteria valid in early axSpA?
SPACE cohort (n=669):
HIGH specificity (97.5%) but LOWER sensitivity (60%) vs 2009 criteria (83%)

Window of opportunity in stills disease is early. With IL1 / IL6 agents
#sJIA and #AOSD are the same disease. - may need a standard new crieteria

Transitioning from pediatrics to adult rheumatology for patients with autoinflammatory disease such as #AOSD should be done with administrative support and the right hand off.

π¬ Can filgotinib improve axSpA?
OLINGUITO (Phase 3 RCT, n=495):
YES! ASAS40 39.5% vs 21% (r-axSpA) at week 16

Glucocorticoids are the cornerstone of initial vasculitis treatment, used to rapidly control inflammation and protect vital organs. EULAR has recommendations that cover glucocorticoid use in ANCA associated vasculitides (AAV) and large vessel vasculitis, including giant cell arteritis (GCA).1,2 But the evidence base continues to grow about their use β especially over the long term.

What defines MRI indicative of axSpA?
This systematic lit review show adapting more stringent cutoffs in BME (>=4 SIJ quads, erosion >=3 quads, fat >=5 SIJ quads) & combined BME + structural lesions inc specificity.
Time for updated definitions?

Impt pts to consider in D2T CLE by Prof Wittmann:
If tx is not working, ask yourself: is the dx correct? adherence?
Main message: treat early
When damage is present, tx doesnβt really provide considerable improvements
Future drxns? Endotype-directed tx

Metaflammation !! A new term I learnt at #EULAR2026 plenary. @RheumNow
Inflammation triggered by metabolic abnormalities.
This may be the reason a lot of our inflammatory arthritis patients on GLP1 drugs(other indications) have thier disease activities improving. Emerging data.

RA-ILD is heterogeneous, maybe under-recognized and risk stratification remains a challenge (Pierre-Antoine -Jugr)
Screening for RA-ILD is only as good as availability of early intervention and treatment (Jeff Sparks)
