GM-CSF inc'd in active AS pts, particularly in younger ages, and strongly correlates with disease activity, but not with disease duration. TNFi tx does not affect GM-SCF levels, despite improving disease activity. Abs 1156 #ACR22 @RheumNow https://t.co/ndhBGbPsCw

Don't forget the power of NSAIDs! (esp COX2i)
10 year study from Germany.
NSAID intake associated with lower radiographic progression in axSpA patients (esp r-axSpA)
COX2i may have stronger effect

Corriere et al Duloxetine and gabapentin have similar rates of MI and stroke in non-cancer pain. There was some theoretical concern that duloxetine could increase risk but not evident here @RheumNow #ACR22 Abstr#1195 https://t.co/E3S9Md5XWq https://t.co/8KMtcU6d1B

Data from CorEvitas RA registry shows persistence for first-line monotherapy with etanercept, adalimumab and JAKis no different at 12 months. 20-25% switching at 12-months. Clearly more to secondary failure than anti-drug antibodies.

Biologics to treat gut microbiome dysbiosis??
In axSpA pts treated with bDMARDs for one year, gut microbiome resembled those of controls.
Collinsella remained stable - possible biomarker?

Much has been written about tapering medications in rheumatic diseases, often due to high costs of medications, a desire to avoid side effects and patient preference to take less medications (especially if they have side effects).
This is countered by something we all know: medications not taken don’t work, and those that are frequently missed may not provide optimal outcomes for the majority of patients.

Raadsen et al. RA-specific CV risk specifically targets pre-existing atherosclerotic vessels. So if no baseline CVD, traditional risk factors are main driver rather than RA. Risk without prevalent CVD (HR 1.16 95%CI 0.88 –1.53) @RheumNow #ACR22 Abstr#1408 https://t.co/1Y6WeEFmim https://t.co/qG3RMNnbqt
