Instead of just JAKi, why don't we look at all our RA meds and MACE risk
FAERS data & reporting odds ratios here: all the caveats of voluntary reporting, so don't put too much weight, but...
prednisone. Don't forget pred is really not great for MACE!

Lung ultrasound for ILD in SSc/IIM would be great, no radiation and by the bedside - but a lot of skill required to interpret in reality.
Maybe AI/computer vision can come to the rescue?
Some nice models @StanfordRheum - will be watching this space!

"There's an app for that"
but is it enough?
US informatics national survey 2017-18:
Rheum pts with digital health tools weren't any healthier living than those without (maybe helps exercise)
It might be a conversation starter, but it's only an adjunct

Systemic polyarteritis nodosa looks creepily/scarily beautiful on PET/CT. Look at that Christmas tree!
but sensitivity can be affected by pred, & isn't great even without (48%).
By itself, a good rule in test, but not a good rule out test.

Always looking for cancer/CV signals from JAKi in big observational datasets w extensive JAKi use nationwide 🇯🇵 claims data RA pts n=52k (JAKi n=4.3k) Cancer with JAKi vs TNFi: aHR 2.2 (esp lung, lymphoma) This is a problem. Watch these data. #ACR24 ABST1336 @RheumNow #ACRBest https://t.co/vsnT46De6T

Can you build systems that stop that ANA neg ENA pos anxiety? Plus $$?
Lehigh Valley, Allentown, PA:
lab would run ENA+dsDNA automatically, but only when ANA >1:80
(i.e. leave the ENA order to the lab)
first voluntary, then compulsory
it's possible!

ANA neg, but ENA pos
should we care about that result?
PPV 5.5% here
(similar to 6% prev @EricFMorand: https://t.co/Hyaued3rw2)
and how many really needed the serology? Anxiety?
Surely pos ENA w neg ANA might be more hassle than help. So what to do?⬇️

Should you worry about giving TNFi to RA pts after a cancer diagnosis?
Medicare data with colorectal, lung, prostate Ca:
TNFi pts survival no worse (numerically better) than csDMARDs
Cancer pts deserve good RA treatment!

Probably no surprise, but if you can navigate the digital world, it portends work for your rheum disease.
all @MedUni_Wien rheum clinic pts did an eHealth survey
high eHealth literacy did much better
We can't leave digital stragglers behind!
