Late-Onset Disease: Different Age, Different Rules?
We’re seeing more patients develop rheumatic diseases for the first time in their 60s, 70s, or beyond. But are these truly the same diseases we see in younger adults, or do they behave differently, shaped by age-related https://t.co/Txvr62UpWZ

Should we screen for #lung #cancer in #SSc high risk Pts? When >10 yrs?
Greek cohort of SSc since 1995
Disease duration 12 yrs,
smoking lung ca group ⬆️58% vs 29%
⬆️dcSSc
⬆️immunosuppression
OR >4X lung ca if dcSSc, IS
Less #DU

In CareRA pooled analysis, 1 in 3 early RA pts had persistent impact (pain, fatigue, HAQ) despite improved inflammation. Female sex, longer symptom duration & low CRP were predictive. Pts more often escalated to b/tsDMARDs → risk of overtreatment?

Some RA-ILD is less of a worry, some is critical. How do we stratify?
Great modelling work from Korea & @jeffsparks - model stratifying really well, even without KL-6.
We need to do this more, so we can go really hard early when we need to.

🌍Patients w RMDs across 🇫🇷🇳🇱🇨🇭🇹🇷 face different barriers to physical activity:
💶Cost =barrier in 🇳🇱
⛈️Weather =barrier in 🇹🇷
🧑⚕️HCP support =key in 🇫🇷
🏃Active transport & knowledge =enablers in 🇨🇭
Tailored physical activity interventions needed.

We can control inflammation in RA, but some pts still struggle with disease impact, despite improving with bDMARDs:
- lower inflamm
- higher comorbidities
Doesn’t necessarily map to fibromyalgia dx
Beyond Rx, this is the critical question

Tofacitinib vs biologics in PsA:
📍MI/stroke ✅ similar
📍Serious infection ✅ similar
📍Malignancy ✅ similar
📍VTE ❌ higher vs TNFi (aHR 0.26)
Large US claims study (n=48k)

📊 SIJ findings in PsA (n=581):
🧠 31% = MRI-confirmed axSpA
🦴 Only 29% met r-mNY criteria
MRI-axPsA group: younger, more male, HLA-B27+
Clinical + radiographic definitely underperform vs MRI

PsO + recent arthralgia—but no PsA. Treat or wait?
🧠 18% developed PsA in 3 yrs, most in year 1
🔍 Predictors: tender joints, disability, enthesis erosion
Consider early rheum input for these patients

Can RZB deliver in real-world early PsA?
💥 9-month results say yes:
✅ Dactylitis gone in 79%
✅ Enthesitis in 90%
✅ 97% MDs & 88% pts satisfied
Early intervention may pay off.

Very pleased to present at #EULAR2025 work @ArthritisAust on consumer involvement into research.
Consumer involvement in research delivers:
- better, more relevant research
- better dissemination of results
- competitiveness in today’s funding landscape

High dose NSAIDs and incidence of HTN in axSpA?
In pts with early axSpA(age at baseline 33.2 years) data from DESIR cohort showed that after adjusting for confounders,high dose NSAID use was not associated with incident hypertension (HR 1.01, 95% CI 0.98-1.02).

Rheumatoid nodules are fascinating. If methotrexate nodulosis is a factor, why has their rate gone down when MTX use has gone up?
Environmental factors? Something else? It’s still a bit of a mystery - we still don’t know why
