Harkins @DrTrishHarkins et al. PROs predict relapse in PMR. pVAS, HAQ health status, FACIT-F all positive predictors. Interestingly PHQ-9 negative predictor. @RheumNow #ACR24 Abstr#1238 https://t.co/kj4WgmI0oq https://t.co/xLDzRZvxoA

Gottlieb et al. TYK2i Zasocitinib in PsA. 12 week phase 2 RCT. Skin responses and MDA all favour zasocitinib but maybe not fantastic? PASI75 46%, PASI90 37%, PASI100 26%. MDA in photo. @RheumNow #ACR24 Abstr#1477 https://t.co/iX5iriESV2 https://t.co/RkEmcAZ80x

Zhang @jeffsparks et al. Even more evidence that MTX does not cause ILD, and in fact prevents ILD, in RA, OR 0.48 in meta-analysis. @RheumNow #ACR24 Abstr#1384 https://t.co/YvQnmmvNjF https://t.co/crYUwHahDb

The idea of patient-initiated follow-up for RA is enticing: patient & physician time is already stretched minimize unnecessary visits/improve access but what actually needs to go into the design, to make it safe/workable? A: plenty. 🇨🇦 pilot underway #ACR24 ABST1041 @RheumNow https://t.co/03u4bhnQ0v

STAR trial of GC w/d in RA LDA SEMIRA of GC w/d controlled RA on Toci Very slight disease activity increase, but higher flares No symptomatic adrenal insufficiency, but data of abnormal ACTH stim No good evidence of steroid w/d symptoms Beth Wallace @RheumNow #ACR24 https://t.co/j6UPWlVNIu

Slick poster, but must be careful w/real world data. Big risk of confounding/channeling bias Pts with MACE risk (not always well-characterized by ICD codes) also less likely to receive JAK & therefore less liekly to have subsequent MACE #ACR24 @RheumNow Abstr#1394 https://t.co/lilU0byJ1s

Zhou et al. Phase 2 RCT of XKH004, IL17A/Fi in AxSpA. ASAS40 50.4% vs 25%. Slightly odd dose response variation, but maybe just noise. @RheumNow #ACR24 Abstr#1453 https://t.co/SsTSThFzro https://t.co/C9yK2G4tqB

Getting more data on using deucravacitinib for PsO/PsA manifestations Impressive effect on scalp psoriasis (which often means a lot to patients) Given how safe it is, it's increasingly tempting to use more of it in mild-mod PsA #ACR24 PSORIATYK SCALP trial ABST1137 @RheumNow https://t.co/vxS3RSlIN0

Cowley et al. US pattern in Subclinical GCA in PMR vs GCA. Subclinical GCA has more isolated axillary artery involvement. Severity of US inflammation significantly higher in GCA than subclincal GCA @RheumNow #ACR24 Abstr#1629 https://t.co/6Iyx76YgkS https://t.co/DxzTEwE5J5

Abst #1473 evaluated association of SJC in PROs from 2 Bimekizumab trials (bDMARD naïve vs TNFi-IR) -bDMARD naïve had less SJC at baseline -In both groups, pts w lower SJC had sustained improvement in pain and fatigue over time. #ACR24 @RheumNow https://t.co/zwxsSbga7c

What do current national/international rheumatology association guidelines say about perioperative discontinuation of biologics? it's highly, highly variable no wonder people get confused! #ACR24 ABST1037 @CatherineL_Hill @RheumNow https://t.co/cmJ3qKU1QT
