How often do you use MRI of peripheral joints for diagnosis or monitoring of PsA?

#EULAR2020 #op0182 delayed gadolinium-enhanced MRI study reveals proteoglycan loss in articulate cartilage in PsA associated w/severity of periarticular inflammation, synovitis &flexor tenosynovits but not bone erosion or prolypheration. @RheumNow https://t.co/ZJBDnZuYbB

#EULAR2020 #op0143 a nationwide study concludes GCA pts at higher risk for sarcoma (HR 2.14), kidney cancer (1.6), hematological malignancies (HL2.42&non-HL1.66). Overall cancer HR 1.29. Time to diagnosis shorter in GCA (~48mo) vs controls (~58mo) @RheumNow https://t.co/obAlZw2gei

#EULAR2020 #op0148 real world European study of Mepolizumab in 142 pts w/EGPA shows significant improvement of general, ENT, pulm&neuro symptoms. Significant reduction in BVAS, 90%decrease of asthma attacks by 12 mo, decreased steroid use. 21.1%non-serious AEs @RheumNow https://t.co/fN4tKPvUaE

#eular2020 #op0314 5 y drug-free remission (5DFR) is rare in early AxSpA: 17%pts from DESIR cohort reach 5DFR. Shorter disease duration (<1.3y), lower BASDAI&ASAS-CRP & less peripheral involv more likely to achieve DFR. Imaging and biological data did not predict DFR @RheumNow

Do patients with early RA need to see a rheumatologist in the first 6w after Sx onset, or will 12w do? Getting in before 6w is better for drug-free remission than 12w, but not for radiographic progression - although >12w is too long! Leiden/ESPOIR OP0222 #EULAR2020 @RheumNow https://t.co/uaLsK4TMSR

Here's the data for GCA (even though labelled PMR) using the same methods, both looking at first 1y. Here's what gets me - it's obviously worse, but not that much worse... everyone's looking for steroid-sparing agents in GCA, but PMR's left behind?

For your new diagnosis RA patients, how long have they typically had symptoms for by the time they first see you? #EULAR2020 @RheumNow
