#EULAR Presentation 3478: Infection risk with surgeries: ⭐️Continue conventional DMARD ⭐️Some risk with biologics, may be confounder and no association with timing of infusions ⭐️Steroids are major risk factor! Esp >10 mg/d ⭐️Recommendations shown ⭐️Address other risks! @rheumnow https://t.co/Bi02d4p9Mw

COAST-Y 2 yr results: In r- and nr-axSpA, IXE tx led to consistent & sustained long-term improvements in disease activity & QoL. No new safety signals. #EULAR2021 poster #POS0912 @RheumNow https://t.co/W2YoyA4K14 https://t.co/lv0GLU2WTF

Which drug are you most excited about changing future treatments in SLE? #EULAR2021 @RheumNow

What is largest ⬆️ infection risk in RA? steroids, past infection, age, DM? Host factors & Prednisone are Impt. Piling up risk factors is often multiplied! Biggest risk of serious infection and is recurrent serious infection! #EULAR2021 Meet the expert AbbVie session @RheumNow https://t.co/6m0OfsNF1W

Q-DAPSA (DAPSA + CRP), validated as a clinical measure of PsA disease activity in both practice & research from 5 centers in Berlin, 104 PsA pts. Let's get more studies to better understand the power of this measure. Poster #POS1069 #EULAR2021 @RheumNow https://t.co/X4UWGwH5i5 https://t.co/J7EpOjTjhe

Dr Lukas presents data showing possibility of tapering a range of TNF in AxSpA patients in remission 162/184 (88.0%) LDA in progressive spacing group vs 173/189 (91.5%) in continued at 1 year.@RheumNow #EULAR2021 Abstr#0138

Honoured to be part of the irAE session at #EULAR2021, with some great talks (and then also mine), including: - Anne Bass @lovetolearn27 @HSpecialSurgery on irAE mechanisms - Maria Suarez-Almazor @MDAndersonNews on irAEs in the clinic Well worth tuning into! @RheumNow https://t.co/MN1IcLKv6u

Abst#OP0137 at #EULAR2021: ➡️TNFi use for at least 1 year decreased radiographic sacroiliitis progression in early AxSpA in this ten year multicenter study of the German Spondyloarthritis Inception cohort (GESPIC) . ➡️This effect becomes evident 2-4 years after tx. @RheumNow https://t.co/GNnYqYmxhl

SPACING trial: possible to taper TNFi in AxSpA pts in LDA ⭐️Tapering of TNFi in axSpA resulted in 88% BASDAI<4 compared to 91.5% in unchanged group ⭐️adalimumab spaced out to q35 days Abs#OP0138 #EULAR2021 @RheumNow

Based on the data, what would you do in a new SLE patient w/LN class IV who is already on a background of GC's+HCQ? @rheumnow @kidneydoc101 @Lupusreference

The case for starting combo Rx for LN (rather than sequential Rx): 👉Aurora trial: voclosporin + MMF (vs. MMF only) prompt efficacy on proteinuria across all ethnic subgroups, twice more complete renal response , no major safety signals. slide 1/ #EULAR2021 @rheumnow https://t.co/TA5i9ITuL7
