#Digital #rheumatology in the era of #COVID-19: evidently increasing inclination of patients and physicians to use digital health apps for recording data- as informed by a national survey by @JK77775 and colleagues #EULAR2021 @ARD_BMJ https://t.co/Uo60qZurhG

So it comes down to the grand question: how on earth do we actually monitor disease activity?? "We still don't have a failsafe algorithm... relapse is both underdiagnosed & overdiagnosed" - @Sarah_L_Mackie The challenge lots of good people are working on! #EULAR2021 @RheumNow https://t.co/PUa6Ly1DQw

OP0131: Pooled data from TULIP-1 and TULIP-2 show anifrolumab (anti-IFN receptor Ab) show improvement of rash and arthritis. Shows promise for drug, particularly in subset of pts with high IFN activity #EULAR2021 @RheumNow https://t.co/sddF2NRlEg
