The 2009 ASAS classification criteria did not meet the set targets of 75% sensitivity and 90% specificity in the CLASSIC cohort, indicating the need for revision of these criteria to increase its performance and validity in classification of axSpA.

Researchers developed a digital messaging program to reduce fatigue in SLE
- Grounded in social cognitive and self-determination theories
- Reviewed 148 messages, refined based on patient feedback
- High patient ratings, future will see more of these #ACR24 abst#0362 @RheumNow

❔Can rheum drugs have beneficial effects on cognition?
💊Possible benefits with MTX and TNFis but certainly an active area of research and more studies needed

- Analyzed 61 SLE pregnancies
- Higher early gestational Mean Arterial Pressure before 20 Weeks linked to increased preeclampsia risk
- MAP trends at 8-10 and 17-19 weeks showed highest predictive accuracy for risk prediction

Cancer Survival in RA
Unable to do meta-analysis due to lack of data
HR for lung cancer in RA 1.04
No clear evid of increased risk, but more data and studies needed
Great research project by a high school student (!!)

Global meta-analysis of 61 studies shows TB Preventive treatment (TPT)
- Reduces active TB risk in rheumatic disease patients by 29% (RR: 0.71, CI: 0.57–0.87)
- Best outcomes in high TB-burden countries (RR: 0.51) and with isoniazid for >9 months (RR: 0.52).
- Dual screening… https://t.co/4P1982ngvL
