Do pts with RA take their meds & can adherence intervention work? Yes & No. Pts starting new bDMARD RCT of electronic monitoring feedback vs usual care, adherence>80%. Neg RCT Maybe chronic users with poor adherence is group to study abstr#0799 #ACR2020 @RheumNow https://t.co/FyWoBjYnvs

Valerio et al find 40% of 294 patients w/ #rheumaticdisease refuse or are uncertain about getting inactivated #influenza #vaccine. Key determinants of #vaccinehesitancy found to be concerns about adverse events, safety & efficacy.

Which Adalimumab biosimilar to use (if any)? The race is on to have 1st Ada or 2nd reimbursed/preferentially listed in US reimbursement plans & dare I say it mandatory switching like in Europe. Abstr#0798 #ACR2020 compares Abrilada & Humira in RA @RheumNow @CRASCRRheum https://t.co/AUcVZnc6Gj

T2T in clinical practice: Most axSpA pts had ≥1 annual ASDAS recorded, but target ID/LDA achieved in only 1/3 of pts at the first measurement. How do you address T2T in your practice? #ABS0879 #ACR20 @RheumNow https://t.co/Jy0mmqpHAb https://t.co/06fI10V3OZ

Great job by @Rheumnow's Dr. Jonathan Kay on CT-P17, ADA biosimilar in Abst#0800. Similar ACR20 83% rate for ADA and CT-P17 with similar safety profile. #ACR20.

Lots at #ACR20 on arthralgias w/ +CCP. Abst#760 shows bone erosions (BE) rare in these pts (4%), did not show higher risk of progression to IA (41% w BE vs 31% wo BE, p=0.4). Overall high progression, unclear if high enough # with BE for analysis. @RheumNow.

Tracking CRP in the hyper-acute phase of admission for #COVID19 predictive of progression to critical illness- suggests trends of inflammatory biomarkers, not absolute admission values, may be most useful for triage & therapy.

What is your initial csDMARD of choice in pts w/ elderly-onset RA? @RheumNow #ACR20

Baseline characteristics differed between M/F pts w/ AS & nr-axSpA. Women were older at dz onset w/longer symptom duration & more joint dz and were less likely to be + HLA-B27 than men. Do you see this in your practice? #ABS0876 #ACR20 @RheumNow https://t.co/2goek1NiUW https://t.co/Uk8pmNP4Hr
