Alright help me out here; this is pretty implausible, right? Why would be pts be 11% more adherent to UPA? What's the bio-plausibility here? UPA 10% better than other JAKs? Could do a network meta analysis; betting this doens't replicate #ACR24 @RheumNow Abstr#1362 https://t.co/vpPq3vu9Wf

This study by Dr. UGazel et al shows that cervical DISH in SpA is similar to the general population. Of note, HLAB27+ axSpA pts had more DISH while PsA pts had DISH if they were HLaB27(-) @RheumNow #ACR24 abs1447 https://t.co/GtcvxVSb8B

Gonzalez Molina et al. MANHATTAN observational study. In PsA after 1st TNFi failure should we use guselkumab or 2nd TNFi? Guselkumab slightly better persistence, DAPSA, and improvements in joint counts. @RheumNow #ACR24 Abstr#1469 https://t.co/X3TMCVys6B https://t.co/vvkUYbzVDq

In this large 🇦🇺 RA cohort, median time on treatment for upadacitinib was lot higher than other JAKi (28mo vs 17mo) Why? Patient selection, or a real difference between JAKi? Would really like more comparative effectiveness data between JAKi #ACR24 OPAL group ABST1370 @RheumNow https://t.co/OU2ayzqIc8

Spicy network SRMA, 123pts w/JAK-TNF-PLBO TNF >> JAK w/respect to malignancy (expected) & better than PLBO (spicy!) JAK > PLBO for heme cancers (makes sense); no significant (but slight trend) toward PLBO > JAK for all cancer The debate continues #ACR24 @RheumNow Abstr#0989 https://t.co/tBnb02gyzF

Which RA patients are at increased risk of JAKi adverse events? Does disease activity matter? in the upadacitinib ph3 trials, high disease activity pts had more: serious infections HZ MACE VTE Active RA is a massive contributor to many AEs in JAKi pts #ACR24 ABST1393 @RheumNow https://t.co/DlFf9Sfbja
