#ACR21 #Abstr0437 OK, so RTX affects #COVID vaccine but some pts need RTX. Factors predicting response to vaccine:
RA vs AAV/IIM
Higher IgG
Longer time-to-RTX
Lower RTX courses Number.
Prediction Calculator is developed but need ext. validation #RheumNow https://t.co/iXSaGQ76hS https://t.co/WQAV3GRPBz

#ACR21 #Abstr0336 ANA is not a great test for #lupus diagnosis. Multianalyte Assay Panel with Cell-Bound Complement Activation Products could improve diagnosis (OR 6.3) and Drug Initiation (OR 2.8). Can we speed up implementation to clinic? #RheumNow https://t.co/jLcAtD7FaY https://t.co/YmLwmVWp6k

The arsenal of therapeutics for psoriatic arthritis continues to increase. Risankizumab is an IL-23 inhibitor to the p19 subunit, currently being investigated for treatment of psoriatic arthritis.
The opening of ACR2 Convergence was a hit for all who signed up and viewed in. The day included the presidential address by outgoing president Dr. David Karp (UT Southwestern) and a keynote talk and interview with Dr. Seema Yasmin (Stanford).
The Year in Review featured a clinical vs basic science Brigham and Women’s Hospital faceoff between its two faculty, Dr. Karen Costenbader and Dr. Michael Brenner.

Dr. Marvisi presented a case: refractory MPA relapsed w/prednisone < 25 mg/day. Genetic studies c/w VEXAS. Is MPA/vasculitis part of VEXAS? The experts say: Maybe- VEXAS is such a new entity, there may be a common pathway (e.g NFkB affected by ubiquination, IL-6 role) #ACR21 https://t.co/kEOsruJ8DE
