Abstract 0196: Too many referrals, too few slots? A hybrid RN + MD referral cut wait times for patients with SLE by 26%
Median time to appointment 69 days --> 51 days
Next steps: streamline high-risk triage, reduce manual chart review

DESIR cohort of early axSpA:
✳️Factors assoc w/ D2M axSpA - female sex, ⬆️ASDAS-CRP ⬆️BASFI ⬆️ASQOL at baseline.
✳️ Low prevalence of pts meeting D2M definition (15 pts - 8.4% bDMARD-treated)

Abstract #0189: Rheumatologists are early adopters and high utilizers of #AI scribes.
📊 Adoption: 41%
🧑💻 Retention: 100%
💬 High utilizers (> 70% visits): 83%. The highest among IM subspecialties
🕒 AI scribes reduced EHR time across all measures.

Ramiro et al. No significant differences seen between men and women in response to upadacitinib in AxSpA at week 14 or 52. Differs from data on TNFi/IL17i in this regard. Looks to me like men respond a bit quicker and better though... @RheumNow #ACR25 Abstr#589 https://t.co/2m7mrgcG0z

This retrospective cohort analysis by Dr. Lihi Eder et al showed that among patients with PsA, those w/ high dse activity & high 3VAS scores were assoc w/⬆️ risk of atrial tachyarrythmias.
Main message: PsA conveys ⬆️CV risk; inflamm control is key!

In a nationally representative NHANES sample, inflammatory back pain (IBP) was not associated with HLA-B27 positivity or elevated CRP, regardless of IBP criteria used (e.g., Berlin 8a: OR 0.88, p=0.876). IBP alone may be insufficient for identifying axSpA-related immunogenetic or https://t.co/82NjVU171z

What can we learn from longitudinal peripheral blood multi-omic profiling in at-risk individuals?
50 RA converters vs. non converters from StopRA study
Decision tree showing highest risk for conversion to clinical RA in Individuals w/
-CCP3 ≥108 units

Multi-omic profiling of anti-CCP3+ “at-risk” individuals reveals Tph & cytotoxic CD8+ expansions, altered gene/chromatin profiles and predictive model (AUC 0.77) for RA conversion
PTPN22 locus accessibility & Tph ≥ 2.45% identify highest risk. @RheumNow #ACR25 https://t.co/JDSMkdmoGv

Not just for salivary glands—lacrimal ultrasound helps too.
In early Sjögren’s, lacrimal + salivary US clearly distinguished SjD from sicca (AUC up to 0.97).
Noninvasive, reproducible, and highly diagnostic.

A new marker for stratification of ILD in dermatomyositis: Anti MDA5 antibodies!
Japanese study
MDA5 (201-300) positivity associated w/
Lower 6-month progression-free survival (43% vs. 74%)
Lower 5-year survival rates (34% vs. 66%)
Validation in other populations awaited https://t.co/IBiYyATer4
