Are we going to treat hands OA with MTX?
Moderate effect on VAS pain at 6 and 12 months in a small RCT vs. PBO in hands OA WITH MRI detected synovitis.
Thoughts
1) Is it really OA?
2) Benefit Risk balance remains debatable

#EULAR2023 #OP0046 With more effective therapies in #lupus, we should aim for bare minimum/cessation of steroid. A study using French database showed:
>12% were on =>5mg Pred/d, this associated with comorbidities & increased costs
14% on high dose Pred weren’t on HCQ

EULAR 2023 launched today to crowds of attendees. The opening Plenary session and presidential address by Dr. Ian McInnes was followed by a number of overview and review sessions with but a half-day of abstracts presentations, on several therapeutic areas including osteoarthritis, JIA, COVID and more. The following are a few of the presentations that caught my eye.
