The RheumNow faculty have been glued to their monitors all day, watching video, and running down abstract presentations to find the best – several of these stood out as #ACRBests. Here is a listing of “Best” they saw on Day 1.
Patients with axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA) often have increased absence from work as well as reduced productivity at work, which can have profound impacts for not only the affected individual and their families, but also lead to wider economic and social burden.
The ACR meeting is the premier educational event in rheumatology every year; it’s big for clinicians, academics, North American and international rheumatologists and those who will be presenting their research for the first time.
Your objectives in attending the annual meeting are:

🩸 Hb levels markers of RA activity and structural progression? Boston BRASS registry: 1500+ patients.
Low hb at headline associated w/ MTX TNFi and ⬆️ increase in TSS.
Not that surprising provided low Hb is a marker of systemic inflammation. #Abtr0786 #ACR21 @Rheumnow https://t.co/eQLGxsANkk

Abst0907 #ACR21 @RheumNow observation of GLAS cohort of nrAxSpA pts over 6 yrs showed ~10% of pts progress to AS every 2 years. Specifically after two, four and six years, 8/79 (10.1%), 4/48 (8.3%) and 3/24 (12.5%) nr-axSpA patients progressed to AS. https://t.co/hVpNz1kEgE

Does #RA treatment affect low Hb levels? Is there a relationship between Hb and radiographic progression?
#ACR21 Abs#0787
👉🏼Sustained improvements in Hb when treated with bio/non-bio DMARDs
👉🏼Low Hb assoc with incr radiographic progression
