Steroid use remain common in rheumatology, despite risks even low-dose, especially for older adults.
"Steroids and Me" (Sam) provides online patient education ~5 minutes.

Dr. Cavagna presents the 2025 EULAR/ACR Classification Criteria for Anti-Synthetase Syndrome
He emphasizes the inportance of ruling out anti-MDA5 Ab & anti-PM/Scl Ab DM since these conditions share overlapping features w/ ASyS.

Does #RA accelerate age-related functional decline in older adults? STAR study (n=421, age 55-85): RA with worse HAQ, grip strength, but aging's effect on function similar in RA vs controls. Geriatric syndromes like sarcopenia may matter more than RA @RheumNow #EULAR2026 POS0360

Think palindromic rheumatism is non-erosive? Not always. Leeds U/S cohort (n=127, 16yrs follow-up): 9.4% had low-grade erosions at baseline; 6.1% without baseline erosions developed new erosions over 53 mo. More frequent flares, more erosions. @RheumNow #EULAR2026 POS1262

Patient-initiated telemedicine follow-up cut rheumatology visits by 25% in stable #SpA, but not equally for everyone. Reductions were greatest in men, axSpA, bDMARD users, and the oldest patients (64+, 34% fewer visits). Patient-centered care delivery @RheumNow #EULAR2026 POS1345

T2T works in elderly-onset #RA. tREACH trial (n=425): EORA (mean age 73) achieve LDA similar to young-onset RA; often with lower treatment intensity when seronegative. Drug tolerability comparable in EORA vs YORA despite more comorbidities. @RheumNow #EULAR2026 POS1326 https://t.co/tKRki2KLzP

Do u screen your SLE pts for OP?
In this real-world multicenter study, SLE pts who were likely to be tested for BMD were older, had MSK s/sxs, sSJg & longer GC exposure.
RFs for OP: LN, higher dse. activity, longer GC use, high cumulative GC dose

B-cell targeting has moved to the centre of IgG4-related disease treatment, with inebilizumab, a CD19 depleter, as the recent benchmark. At EULAR 2026, INDIGO tested whether the disease can be controlled by switching B cells off rather than depleting them.

SELECT-Axis 2 trial and Withdrawal of Upadacitinib - Of 734 pts, 194 were in remission at wk104--> UPA w/d & 22% maintained drug-free remission for >48wks. Rest flared, median time to flare: 3.1 mos (89% regained LDA by wk24 w/ restart) #EULAR2026 #axSpA POS1350 https://t.co/7A7CAHxLxX
At EULAR 2026, investigators are presenting perhaps the most biologically compelling data yet from the REGENCY trial, with evidence that obinutuzumab induces deep intrarenal B-cell depletion alongside markedly higher rates of histological remission.
At EULAR 2026, speakers of the session “Catching Your Breath: Unravelling RA Associated Interstitial Lung Disease (ILD)” noted RA-ILD is one of the few outcomes not improving in the biologic era. Three abstracts reinforce that message and make the case for a practical, low-cost screening tool that is already in most rheumatologists’ hands.

Risk of Parkinsons? RA patients have 28% lower Parkinson's risk vs general population (HR 0.72); axSpA had HIGHER risk (HR 1.29). Non-TNF biologics in RA reduced PD risk further (HR 0.74). No effect seen in PsA/axSpA. #EULAR2026 Abstr #POS1116 https://t.co/1vZoZGEu5Z

TMP-SMX prophylaxis cuts PJP risk by 69% (RR 0.31) & mortality by 59% (RR 0.41) in immunosuppressed rheum dz pts —but ADRs are 26x more common. NNT=323, NNH=5. Risk-adapted approach recommended. #EULAR2026 POS1190 https://t.co/4yjD9CmySM
