@rheum_cat et al Abs 0415 TNFi initiation early in AS dz course (compared to no initiation) showed higher risk of incident CVD, stroke & MACE individually! Residual confounding by indication cannot be excluded. Were TNFi tx pts sicker? #ACR22 @RheumNow https://t.co/ERoDhS2yOY https://t.co/8tto5AIUSP

Can I use BASDAI to asses disease in #pregnant AS patients?
Abstract #0374 #ACR22 @RheumNow; 50 women
🫃Back pain and fatigue beyond 4.5 months = not reliable
🫃BASDAI in 3rd trimester = not reliable
🫃Morning stiffness remains reliable marker of disease in pregnancy

Abs 0478 at #ACR22 study indicates that a single screening US of temporal and axillary arteries accurately identified 83.3% of patients with subclinical GCA in an inception PMR cohort. It may not change tx but possibly timeline for tx, IMO. @RheumNow https://t.co/bEBVfxDNir https://t.co/UQ1EdniGk5

Another study showing treatment withdrawal does not work.
Golimumab withdrawal in nr-axSpA is inferior to continued treatment or tapered treatment, leading to more disease flares.

Interesting findings from Abs 0417 - when early axSpA is defined by duration of symptoms, only nr-axSpA tx w/ bDMARDs may lead to better outcomes vs early or established axSpA. #ACR22 @RheumNow https://t.co/8aGdyJRvv1 https://t.co/chAEGPicPd
