Mortality predicted by comorbidity index, steroid escalation (OR 3.50; & 32) https://t.co/cIUNcQ0r3F https://t.co/rNZaWu3Ocd

In early arthritis (RA) pts there is no value in measuring for IgA-ACPA or IgA-RF, as there presence doesnt provide more than IgG-ACPA. In tREACH trial IgA-ACPA present in 23% & overlaped w/ IgG-ACPA in 94% (w/ IgM-RF in 90%). https://t.co/d8Xc4GBfEt https://t.co/qvujVx0RFf

CT angio in 75 pts w/ Takayasu arteritis (40 w/ cDMARDs, 35 biologics) showed reduced arterial thickness in 73% (31% w/ >25% decr in wall thickness). 1st immunosuppressives (p= 0.012) & bDMARDs(p= 0.026) reduced art. wall thickness (relative to cDMARDs) https://t.co/16eGmgVoWr https://t.co/AyNyT7FsYZ
