Prof Petri reports the ff predictors of fracture in SLE: -older age -Caucasian race -female sex ⚠️ Prednisone (but not recent IM triamcinolone or IV methylpred) is a MAJOR risk factor. When possible, avoid prednisone! @RheumNow #ACR24 #ACRbest abs2679 @rheumarhyme https://t.co/q2NMRaYsAF

Lacaille et al. Long term harms of previous steroids in RA. CV/infection mortality increase 7% every year/use. Takes 3.5 and 10 years to return to normal after 1 and 2 years use. Never returns to normal if >2 years use @RheumNow #ACR24 Abstr#2673 #ACRbest https://t.co/qcp5mCHmeB https://t.co/keXw5Qg2ld

All-caps abstract text throw-down by Michelle Petri re:fractures in SLE 😆 I keep saying this; our obsesssion with vitamin d is not commensurate w/reality It's. The. Prednisone. #ACR24 @RheumNow Abstr#2679 #ACRBest https://t.co/13luByNvYT

Does CVD mortality risk change after stopping GC in RA? ➡️28078 incident GC users ➡️Incr mortality risk from CVD &infections persists post-cessation ➡️Risk never returns to pre-GC level after prolonged use ⏩Use GC at lowest dose for shortest time possible Ab2673 #ACR24 @Rheumnow https://t.co/dtLU8obLke

Increased risk of mortality related to negative effects of GC use persists long after stopping and never return to pre-GC levels. #GCStewardship #ACR24 @RheumNow ABST#2673 https://t.co/5AwHDmvQGf

Ab2674 #ACR24 ➡️Most pts starting 1st-line TNFi, who didn't achieve treatment response at 3M, also didn't achieve response from months 3-12 ➡️1/4 pts achieving LDA/remission at 3M were no longer in LDA/remission at 12M @RheumNow https://t.co/pFOo86tJTx

Data from the RISE registry show that 9.3% of SLE pts had thrombocytopenia and a smaller percentage with mod-severe TP (2.7%). Severe TP was much rare. Large data, but well represented grp? @RheumNow #ACR24 abs2680 https://t.co/Y1Lo9lJGtO

An early favorable response to TNFi initiation indicates better long-term success in RA. Assess early and adjust treatment accordingly. #ACR24 @RheumNow ABST#2674 https://t.co/YTThYiiLpZ

#ACR24 BEST Abstracts from Day 1 The RheumNow faculty have parked at the plenaries, trafficked the posters and have been finding the best the meeting offers on the first day. https://t.co/FHu616Jpyq https://t.co/oKuRcGRRAZ

Would you trust #AI to carry out & read your #USS? 2 systems, ARTHUR & DIANA, were comparable to that of a rheumatologist specialising in MSK US at joint & patient levels Might this be the future of assessment in rheumatology care? AbL20 #ACR24 @RheumNow https://t.co/XtnlYafzp4

Nailfold video capillaroscopy (NVC) allows the definite distinction between primary and secondary #Raynaud's phenomenon and can identify early changes such as few giant capillaries &/or microhemorrages promoting early diagnosis @RheumNow #ACR24 @rheumarhyme https://t.co/Yl37w6BEZR
