NEW ACR2020 Draft Guidelines for the Pharmacologic Treatment of RA. All the guidelines in 2 tables!. 1. MTX 1st, oral > SC.2. Minimize GC!.3. TTT TTT TTT.4. Biologic/tsDMARD > Triple Tx.5. Taper MTX 1st. Close to my practice; suspect will be controversial!. #ACR20 #ACRambassador

So much more work to be done- the traditional tools for estimating CVD in rheumatic patients are likely not accurate especially patients with SLE- abstract 1286 @RheumNow #acr20

Fascinating hypothesis-generating abstract. Prevalence of GPA associated with quarries; significant though not terribly strong. @Lupusreference any thoughts re:cause?. Would be curious to see if this is replicable in other areas and other disease states. #ACR2020

If we are still not understanding the barriers behind recieving the flu vaccine in rheumatic patients- what is going to be different about a potential COVID-19 vaccine? So much more to learn! Abstract 1135 @OSUWexMed @CreakyJoints @RheumNow #ACR20
