Not all researchers have the opportunity to receive expert advice on their #clinical research projects from experienced researchers. This led us to set up the EULAR #ConsultationService. Researchers can request the free service here: eular.org/vrc_eular_cons… #rheum #rheumatic

Shots fired! Strong letter & rebuttals in NEJM re:UPA vs ABA RCT I covered this on the podcast & agree w/both sides: 1. DAS28-CRP was a silly primary outcome 2. CDAI also looked better for UPA Moral of the story: don’t play shenanigans with outcome measures!

FINCH1 RCT of filgotinib (JAKi) in RA vs. PLBO and ADA, @ARD_BMJ Better ACR20 wk12 (77% vs 50% PLBO, NNT~4); small infxn rsk and no MACE signal Held up U.S. FDA d/t sperm count concerns; may come to market next year? See pics for other JAKi; network meta analysis anyone?

reminds me of what a scholarship participant Erin said in #RheumDay Zoom: not everyday is a yes day #rheum

Today I had back to back experiences in which patients for long term follow up had ongoing symptoms, explainable if others took time to mull it over rather than fit into a 15 minute visit. Active listening is so important, even if you can't do something to 'solve' it #survonc

It is always an exciting day for Team ACR when the abstracts are published! Thank you to the ~2,000+ presenters for sharing your research. We are honored to showcase your work at #ACR21.

Does treatment with #JAKinhibitors increase risk of venous #thromboembolism in RA patients? 👉rdcu.be/cynRz #RheumatoidArthritis #RheumTwitter

Unfortunately, calling this disease by "the A word" perpetuates the myths that delay treatment---for a disease that's successfully treatable only if it's caught early. #rheumdisease doesn't start or end in the joints #ACR21 #rheum

1st partial control in 16 yrs frequently in jeopardy due to disorganized #rheum office sending scripts late. #30dayscriptssuck Too many people with rheumatoid disease (PRD) suffering unnecessarily still by improper management of the tools we do have.

EULAR-EMEUNET JC Zach Wallace The COVID-19 Global Rheumatology Alliance This (The COVID-19 Global Rheumatology Alliance) was formed on Twitter (!) from a now-legendary tweet by Leonard Calabrese in early 3/2020. The physician registry is administered jointly by UCSF and EULAR. Physicians can voluntarily enter cases of rheumatic diseases who had COVID-19

Before I walk into the exam room, I try to make a mental intention to ask #patients with #rheum diseases about their #goals. Research by Kelly O'Neill (Kelly Young) & RPF in collaboration w/ #mayoclinicrheumatology suggests we do not do this enough. #MindfulMondays onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.10…

Concerning data in our #ACR21 poster no. 1167 #RA pts whose main #goal is less #pain also report: - not having a #treatment plan - longer duration before Rx - more DMARDs tried - lower patient satisfaction Unmet #healthcare needs for #RA persistent pain Kelly O'Neill (Kelly Young) RPF

We need practical approaches for #goal based shared decision making for patients with #rheum diseases. Here’s a big shout out to @JenBartonMD and Glyn Elwyn @glynelwyn.bsky.social for their strong work in this field.
