#OP0225 at #EULAR2026: In this nationwide French cohort, patients with IMIDs had nearly 2x risk of HPV-related cancers or severe dysplasia versus matched controls. Risk was particularly increased in SLE, reinforcing the importance of HPV vaccination and screening. @RheumNow

#EULAR2026 OP0228 Is there “something in the air?” Data from US Market Scan: poor quality index was associated with increased risk of #SLE. Although causal inference cannot be deduced, seems an important environmental factor. To check air quality assoc with UV index @RheumNow https://t.co/1FOw7RDA9a

#OP0224 at #EULAR2026: Poor air quality may contribute to lupus risk. In a cohort of 8.3 million people, higher AQI exposure and more unhealthy air quality days were associated with increased incident SLE. Adds to evidence linking environmental exposures & autoimmunity. @RheumNow

JAKi vs TNFi in #RA: Swedish registry (n=21,314) shows JAKi carries ↑ risk of hospitalized infections (IRR 1.23) and ~2x viral infection risk after accounting for treatment discontinuation. Treatment selection matters. @RheumNow #EULAR2026 POS0070

#OP0223 at #EULAR2026: Not every lupus nephritis patient may need upfront triple therapy. Using EULAR 2025 prognostic factors, triple therapy significantly improved complete renal response only in high-risk patients, supporting more precision-based treatment approach. @RheumNow https://t.co/F8Kn23YjNr
