Baker et al. validate RALI (RA Low Inflammatory Activity) using modified scores that drop patient global & tender joints.
Cutoffs: M-DAS28 <1.4, M-SDAI ≤3, M-CDAI ≤2.
RALI > remission (VARA: 44% vs 32%), similar imaging outcomes, and lower CV risk & mortality. #ACR26

#ReviewCourse PMR ➡️ EULAR 2025 recommends prednisone 15–25 mg/day, aiming for withdrawal within 1 year. Yet a meta-analysis found ongoing glucocorticoid use in 77%, 51%, and 25% at 1, 2, and 5 years. This highlights a substantial unmet need. #ACR26
Abs 0449: JAKi in RA-ILD (n=31, 5 Japanese centers): DAS28 3.9→1.6 at 12 mo; HRCT stable in 20/31, improved in 9/31; PFTs unchanged. Lung US Pleural Scale fell in a small subgroup. Congrats to @lunalbum6 and team. #ACR26
