Who to screen for RA-ILD is a tricky one. It is not feasible to screen everyone. This is from ACR/Chest 2023 ILD guidelines and is based on identified risk factors. #RNL26 https://t.co/NtAWYCVclJ

RT @richardPAconway Disease activity is a strong risk factor for RA-ILD. Particularly for moderate/high disease activity but there appears to be a linear relationship (at least above a certain threshold) #RNL26 https://t.co/ot8ttdmu5G

Vasculitis
Sunday’s vasculitis session at RNL26 was a fantastic update on inflamed blood vessels, large and small, by two experts in the field.

Lifetime risk of ILD by RA/sex/MUC5B status. We can see the synergistic effect. Also note RA>MUC5B in general. #RNL26 https://t.co/L5MOVVGIt3

MUC5B is strong risk factor for RA-ILD. Specifically for UIP. Associated with both older-onset RA, and ILD earlier following RA presentation. #RNL26 https://t.co/qeLp1BqOEM

RA-ILD #RNL26
Jeff Sparks
MTX and ILD
- Rare MTX-induced pneumonitis. 7 cases in n=4786 (0.3% cases) vs <0.1 on PBO, rare diff from ILD
- No increase in incident ILD - meta-analysis of 7 studies show OR 0.49 https://t.co/k2XeAzBsYB

#RNL26 RA-ILD Jeff Sparks
ILD pooled prevalence 0.11
Sparks: "prevalence is high but not so high that we don't screen everyone," means lots of subclinical ILD
Subtypes:
UIP 50-60%, fibrotic
NSIP 30-40%, inflammatory
Less common: LIP, DIP, RB-ILD, DAD

GLP-1 receptor agonists do more than promote weight loss.
They impact insulin resistance, inflammation, cardiovascular risk—and may influence musculoskeletal disease. #RNL26 https://t.co/ypKnOJojAm

Obesity doesn’t just increase risk of rheumatic diseases-it worsens outcomes.
Patients with obesity have higher disease activity, poorer biologic response, and 20–25% lower remission rates in inflammatory arthritis. #RNL26

We are Doctors, Not Providers!
With apologies to Shakespeare, names are important. In health care, they can have ethical significance. The American College of Physicians (ACP) is concerned about the use of the term provider to describe physicians.

Dr Sparks shows risk factors for RA-ILD. Important for diagnosis (and screening?) Focus interventions on the modifiable ones! #RNL26 https://t.co/lE9Mkbq8oh
