      #OP0204 #EULAR2026 Shared decision-making in practice! BACH study tested “treat by choice” in RA. Patients preferred oral JAKi over SC TNFi (55% vs 45%) Importantly, own choice led to higher treatment satisfaction, better drug survival & fewer adverse events. @RheumNow #EULARBest https://t.co/iI1n2OGzqY
