Seronegative RA: sometimes there's an assumption that they'll eventually get a 'real' diagnosis
at @MayoClinic, 85% of patients diagnosed with seronegative RA kept their diagnosis at 10 years.

Medicare data with colorectal, lung, prostate Ca:
TNFi pts survival no worse (numerically better) than csDMARDs
Cancer pts deserve good RA treatment!

ANA neg, but ENA pos
should we care about that result?
PPV 5.5% here

and how many really needed the serology? Anxiety?
Surely pos ENA w neg ANA might be more hassle than help. So what to do?⬇️
