Day 3 was a sunny warm day in Milan at the 2023 EULAR Congress meeting. Here are a few of my favorite abstracts from today.
A nationwide population-based study, by Beydon et al. (OP0044), has performed a more recent (2010-2020) analysis of cancer incidence in people living with RA within the French national claim database, compared to general population, measured in the French Network of Population-Based Cancer Registries.

The use of artificial intelligence to analyse large data sets using its subset component machine learning has taken centre stage recently in the management of rheumatic conditions, including rheumatoid arthritis. The use of AI is now starting to cross the various stages in patient care from detection, diagnosis, treatment and the prediction of long-term outcome.
Risk of poor pregnancy outcomes in lupus patients continues to remain high, especially in the setting of high disease activity. Preliminary data from a lupus pregnancy LEGACY cohort presented at EULAR 2023 raise concern.

The key data for treating clinically suspect arthralgias (CSA):
TREAT-EARLIER (MTX)
ARIAA, APIPPRA (abatacept)
but what we need to do going forward:
stratify pts better for studies
predict individual risk better, to weight up risk-benefit of intervention

Key arguments for CSA skeptics:
- definitions, imaging aren’t anywhere near as good as our own suspicion as clinicians is
- we still struggle to prevent RA
- it’s easy to go down a therapeutic slippery slope, and hard to track back
- labels are hard to remove
