ICYMI: Introducing Polyrefractory RA: A New Frontier in Difficult-to-Treat RA
At a EULAR 2025 session titled “What makes ‘Difficult-to-treat RA’ so difficult to treat? And what can we do?”, Drs. Paula David and Dennis McGonagle introduced the emerging concept of polyrefractory rheumatoid arthritis (RA), a term now being used to describe a subset of patients who have failed to respond to five or more biologic or targeted synthetic DMARDs. This new classification, derived from recent multinational registry data, represents a significant step in refining our understanding and management of the most treatment-resistant forms of RA.

Prediction of PsA in PSO pts: does it work?
First predictive model using mainly clinical data and labs extracted from primary care
Performs well in the cohort it was trained w/ but not in validation cohort.
Often an issue with prediction models!

‼️Diagnosis of axSpA is clinical
-MRI is a tool but still has a lot of limitations.
-Improve reports by directly communicating with radiology and be specific on pt clinical info.
-Unified algorithms are needed to apply AI in dx of SIJ inflammation on MRI.

PsA asso w/ higher risk of preterm births in women
Scandinavian registries
688 PsA pregnancies
8% preterm births vs. 4.5% general population OR 1.8
16.4% if bDMARD combination OR 4
3.1% if bDMARD monotherapy OR 0.7
bDMARDs combo probably a surrogate of high disease activity
