We have learned quite quickly that a virtual ONLY poster hall mixed into a hybrid meeting doesn't work well.

Poor wifi and the crashing platform compound the problem

And if it's online ONLY, is that truly hybrid?

#ACR22 This is not a complaint thread. I am hoping we can have discussion about what works/doesn't work, and what could be done next year for #ACR23

Biostatician @MikeLaValley8 @BU_BMC_Rheum presents a quick overview on how to appropriately interpret results from studies #ACR22

Of course this is not an exhaustive deep dive, but covers some common errors of interpretation Image @MikeLaValley8 @BU_BMC_Rheum First, what is your research question? What is the question you are trying to answer with t he study?

👉Does this exposure CAUSE this outcome?

Identifying subgroups of pts undergoing knee replacement in #MOST

#ACR22 @MikeLaValley8 @BU_BMC_Rheum @Tuhina_Neogi 🔹In the US more than 640,000 knee replacements annually

🔹In the US estimated 10.2 billion in annual costs

🔹Knee osteoarthritis consists of different phenotypes often leading to a knee replacement outcome

In the ortho/rehab oral session, which is really an #OA session we have former @bu_bmc_rheum postdoc @kosakuaoyagi now with his own lab at @utep

Presenting his work with @tuhina_neogi: trajectories of pain sensitization in knee OA

#ACR22 @BU_BMC_Rheum @KosakuAoyagi @UTEP @Tuhina_Neogi What is central pain sensitization?
Altered CNS nociceptive signaling

👉It's present in ~30% of people with knee OA & contributes to the pain experience in OA

oral in the LBP/ortho/rehab session

#ACR22 @DPatWCorrigan @kecostello @ProfCaraLewis @MikeLaValley8 @Tuhina_Neogi @patellaprof @BU_BMC_Rheum Individuals with unilateral symptomatic knee OA commonly walk in a way that unloads their knee with OA

This unloading can relieve pain, but may shift the load in such a way to increase risk of OA in the contralateral knee

Abs 0095 Desilet, et al.

Work in VARA

🔎Research Q: Does rural vs urban residence impact new bDMARD start in RA?
We know from other studies of the disparities in outcomes associated with rural residence (vs urban). Abs 0094, cont'd #ACR22

Among those with persistently active RA (by DAS28), n=1461
there was no sig association between rural (vs urban) residence and new bDMARD start

But, study also found <50% with new bDMARD Rx despite persistent dz activity - thus many not getting T2T
