    Similar reduction in CV risk with different add-on RA treatments

    Specifically, the team measured the maximum arterial target-to-background ratio (TBR) in the most diseased segment of the carotid artery or aorta, which is a measure of 18 F-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) uptake in FDG-positron emission tomography/computed tomography (FDG-PET/CT) scans and correlates with markers of inflammation.

    New score could predict ILD development in people with SSc

    Using this score could help to determine when a high-resolution computed tomography (HRCT) scan is necessary, and “may be useful in routine practice with limited resources in requesting HRCTs,” said Cosimo Bruni (University of Florence, Italy) in a poster presentation at ACR Convergence 2022 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA.

    Risk score may identify subclinical RA-associated lung disease

    Philippe Dieudé (Université de Paris, France) and co-investigators say that the risk score could “help clinicians in their daily clinical practice to identify high-risk patients with RA without pulmonary symptoms that would benefit from ILD screening by chest HRCT [high-resolution computed tomography] scan.”

    Novel risk factors for RA-ILD described

    Sparks and team suggest that this finding might be explained by higher levels of medical literacy and a willingness to undergo computed tomography imaging among the people with a higher education level “rather than a true biologic effect.”
