      Understanding Comorbidities in RMD
      • 2026 EULAR Press Release
      People with rheumatic and musculoskeletal diseases (RMD) are at risk of a number of comorbidities, from cardiovascular diseases to cognitive impairment and fractures. The 2026 EULAR Congress showcased new data and ideas around various comorbidities and drug safety issues in people with an RMD – highlighting the need for integrated care. Here are five abstracts to consider.

      #EULAR2026 OP002 In 20 active #lupus nephritis patients with paired kidney biopsy at baseline & 1 yr, urine proteomics showed histology response correlated with restoration of immune, coagulation and ECM-remodelling pathways.

      #OP0236: a look at the revised 2025 ASAS-SPARTAN classification criteria for axSpA from the global CLASSIC cohort. The updated criteria achieved 79.5% sensitivity & 90.4% specificity, with MRI & radiographic sacroiliitis remaining central to classification. #EULAR2026 @RheumNow https://t.co/rVIqyCmB8K

      #EULAR2026 OP002 More encouraging news in #Sjogren. A Phase II RCT in N=30 patients with ESSDAI=>5 and/or ESSPRI=>5: Anifrolumab (IFN-IR mAb) improved CRESS response vs PBO (80% vs 30%). Impressive effect size for other endpoints too. Need definitive Phase III RCT @RheumNow https://t.co/W3GbA3gKIs

      #EULAR2026 OP0125 It’s a case of “teamwork makes the dream work!” Instead of an index to capture heterogeneity in #Sjogren activity, the NECESSITY validated using data from 16 RCTs that a new composite tool, STAR has high sensitivity & specificity.
