Key points in managing MDA5+ DM
1. Monitor lungs - HRCT/PFTs
2. Test muscle endurance (ref: IMACS site) not just strength
3. Close observation
4. MTX/MMF initial treatments
5. Repeat muscle biopsy if diagnosis unclear

Key points in managing MDA5+ DM
1. Consider Tofacitinib 5-10mg bd
2. Low to mid dose Prednisolone 20-30mg tapering
3. Other Rx: Tacrolimus, IVIG
4. Poor prognostic factors: lymphopenia, raised ferritin, old age, rapid ILD progression

GCA Fast Track clinics are nice - but usually need specialized ultrasound.
What if you don't have it? (also, COVID?)
@PennRheum implemented *without* ultrasound
