#EULAR2021: "I am an advocate for smart T2T, not a mathematical T2T approach." - Dr. Filip van den Bosch @RheumNow

#EULAR2021: In India, some of the JAKi are costing less than $30/mo per a EULAR participant! Dr. Filip van den Bosch does not recommend using tofacitinib as a diagnostic tool for SpA over NSAIDs even if it is so cheap. @RheumNow

#EULAR2021: Reduced likelihood of reaching disease remission in patients with RA or PsA who have concomitant depression and anxiety per prospective NOR-DMARD study. Social state and mental health factors play an important role in noresponse in T2T approach. @RheumNow https://t.co/Vl0Xkz2SNF

#EULAR2021: Dr. Filip van den Bosch recommends the "DEER" treatment approach for SpA: Dedicated Empathic and Educated Rheumatologist! @RheumNow https://t.co/W0jbGXk7q8

Prof. Alten outlined the value of patient-reported outcomes for clinical practice! How do you collect patient-reported outcomes - PRO - in your rheumatology clinic? #EULAR2021 @RheumNow

Skin fibroblasts in #CRPS: Immunohistological staining of NT3 showed higher expression in the affected vs. not affected side. Increasing NT3 expression <> pain increase. -->dysregulated communication of #fibroblasts with the sensory nerve fibers. #OP0085 #EULAR2021 @RheumNow

#OP0049 corevitas observational registry: ax-SpA patients showed younger age, more males, greater spinal pain, more exposure to cs- or bDMARD but similar fatigue and work impairment compared to ax-PsA #EULAR2021 @RheumNow

#EULAR2021: If we review ASAS40 response from infliximab to tofacitinib, then there has not been much evolution in efficacy of therapy for SpA in the past 20 yrs. This suggests we haven't been looking at the right endpoint in measuring efficacy! MDA instead! @RheumNow https://t.co/E61yb97CRN

#Eular2021: There is no diagnostic criteria for nr-AxSpA, but there is a diagnostic approach that entails collecting clinical information and imaging to visualize inflammation or post-inflammatory changes of the axial skeleton. @RheumNow

#Eular2021: Do you start a bDMARD for nr-AxSpa without objective evidence of inflammation (elevated CRP, negative structural damage on MRI)? @RheumNow

#Eular2021 "Just because they do not have nonradiographic-AxSpa, it does not mean that the disease burden is less (compared to radiographic-AxSpa)!" Dr. Atul Deodhar @RheumNow

Crosssectional multicentre study clusters phenotypes of #spondyloarthritis differentiating two types: axial and peripheral, Fitted well to either diagnoses of ax-SpA or #PsA. Still overlap of features like arthritis, dactylitis and enthesitis exists. #OP0047 #EULAR2021 @RheumNow https://t.co/sru9bT4mla

Using data of the E3N prospective observational study - including 98995 women - passive smoking in childhood or adulthood could be found as risk factor for #RA and potentially earlier onset #OP0012 #EULAR2021 @RheumNow https://t.co/58DJ8lZzfV

Novel Results from the @rheum_covid register in #RA patients presented by @jeffsparks #OP0006 Higher risk for patients on rituximab or on JAK inhibitors for hospitalisation & ventilation or death after #COVID19 infection compared to TNFi users. #EULAR2021 @RheumNow https://t.co/40h5zVpxAO

#Eular2021: Is AS & nr-AxSpA the same disease? The current consensus is that they are the two ends of the spectrum -- same disease! @RheumNow https://t.co/r0fTtp3Uip
