So many amazing teams, having trouble filling out my #RheumMadness bracket!

2021: I thought the tournament came down to clinical trials vs scientific discoveries

Spoiler alert: clinical trials won (😢)

2022: past vs present vs future?

🧵 Cells region: all about future implication
- NET: hot topic for a while now, but not yet ready for clinical utility
- Cytokine networks: may redefine how we classify rheumatic disease, though not anytime soon

Still can't get over how good the #RheumMadness scouting reports are.

Common themes:
✅Most teams are convinced they will win their first round match-up (🤔)
✅Everyone is worried about AAV/SLE teams

Are we being blinded by the bright and shiny AAV/SLE trials?

I say yes.

🧵 First, let's acknowledge that these trials (BLISS-LN, TULIP, PEXIVAS, ADVOCATE) are amazing and definitely worthy competitors. But clinical trials aren't new in #Rheumatology and the other teams offer so much to our field.
