It’s oomf @BethIWallace #ACR24 Presenting her oral on GC use in RA

Reset the bar for remission (off steroids)!! Session #17S19 3% higher risk of organ damage for each 1mg of pred Remission possible in rheum with lower dose GC regimen and faster taper #GCStewardship #ACR24 @RheumNow @BethIWallace

@RheumEpi @dankwhitept #0203 @BethIWallace VARA: accuracy of claims vs self-report for GC use 💊 Questionnaire with n=346 respondents on diff facets of GC use 👉 Current GC use PPV 80%, GC use in past 90d PPV 75% with kappas in the 60s #ACR24

🧐🌟Done in partnership w/ @AliDuarteMD @DrGabrielFP @MayoClinic @UMIntMed , a testament to the power of teamwork in advancing #APSResearch🤝@MdWarrington @jasonsknight

In rheum observational studies, another example of a commonly studied predictor is steroid use. Any use yes/no is far too crude because then you miss amount, frequency, recency info (as @BethIWallace would point out).

Oh wow, another well-deserved honor for @RayZuoMD!

Maybe one day I will truly be the #epibadass @rheum_cat thinks I am ❤️ thanks so much for the bracelet (which has made my children both envious and confused) and the note, which I might frame for inspiration later.

Thrilled to have our work on #SteroidsInRA highlighted by Dr. Joan Bathon at the #ACR23 Year in Preview session - along w/an important reminder re limitations of RCT for evaluating long-term rare outcomes like MACE. #SteroidStewardship @VA_CCMR

Baker et al. TNFi vs triple therapy by BMI. 907 patients from TEAR/RACAT. Those under/normal weight have a better response to TNFi, overweight/obese respond equally to both. Abstr#2541 #ACR23 @RheumNow acrabstracts.org/abstract/diffe…

@RichardPAConway @rheumrob @RheumNow Always a risk in claims data - we adjusted for time varying MTX/ bDMARD use, # rheum visits, RA dx date, and HCQ (given potential protective effects). But absolutely need to validate in data source with clinical disease activity assessment - residual confounding still v possible

@rheumrob @RheumNow Might let @BethIWallace answer that one!

Wallace et al. Dose, duration, recency dependent relationship between GC and MACE. Even 5mg/day, 30 day use, and use 1 year prior associated with risk. 5mg, 7.5mg, 10mg pred for 90 days - 13%, 19%, 27% MACE increase Abstr#2430 #ACR23 #ACRbest @RheumNow acrabstracts.org/abstract/time-…

@rheum_cat @UWDeptMedicine @NamrataRheum @UWRheum He did an incredible job! And fielded questions well also.

Abstract 1678 - RA oral session @UWDeptMedicine resident Dr Xavier Sendaydiego Mentor @NamrataRheum @UWRheum #ACR23

Dr Ted Mikuls gives a great overview of 20 years of success in the VA RA registry at #ACR2023 deriving insights about #rheumatoid arthritis Rx effectiveness, ILD and more. Wishing him congrats and a happy birthday today.

#2430 @BethIWallace GC use & MACE risk in RA, a question that requires appropriate modeling in observational data #ACR23

🎉 Kudos to my brilliant mentees @esloanmd and Amala Ambati for delivering a stellar poster presentation! 🌟🖼️@UMIntMed @UTSWRheum @UTSW_CTSA @utswpediatrics

🎉 Double celebration!🌟 Kudos to my incredible boss John Varga for bagging the Outstanding ACR Basic/ Translational Investigator Award! 🏆@UMIntMed

🎉 Huge congratulations to my mentor @jasonsknight on winning the ACR Henry Kunkel Early Investigator Award! 🏆 Your dedication, expertise, and guidance have not only shaped my journey but also inspired many others. Well-deserved!!! #Mentorship #SuccessStory@UMIntMed

Oral steroid use has risen steadily in three countries that @BethIWallace & colleagues studied for a new paper in @ASCPT_ClinPharm - raising concern about overuse & side effects. Read more: ihpi.umich.edu/news/oral-ster…
