Objective JAK inhibitors (JAKi) have shown promising effects in early‐phase studies of systemic sclerosis (SSc). We aimed to assess the safety and explore the effectiveness of JAKi compared to conventional immunosuppressants in SSc. Methods A longitudinal retrospective study of the European Scleroderma Trials and Research Group (EUSTAR) cohort was ...

Frailty Predicts Incident Osteoporotic Fractures in Veterans with Rheumatoid Arthritis
Objective Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is associated with an increased risk of frailty and osteoporosis, but the relationship between frailty and incident osteoporotic fractures in RA is underexplored. Methods Data were from the Veterans Affairs (VA) Rheumatoid Arthritis Registry. Frailty was measured using the VA Frailty Index (VAFI).

Clinical Characteristics and Concordance of Anti‐MDA5 Antibodies: A Multicenter Australian Study
Objective In Australia, anti‐MDA5 antibodies are exclusively tested by a line immunoblot assay (LIA). The clinical concordance of an LIA‐positive anti‐MDA5 result is unclear. We aimed to describe the clinical features and determine the clinical concordance of patients with anti‐MDA5 antibodies. Methods Electronic records of a multisite cohort (patients

Patients improve, patterns persist: longitudinal stability of RA joint involvement patterns
Objective Rheumatoid arthritis is a heterogeneous disease. Data‐driven approaches, from synovial histology to joint involvement patterns (JIPs), have sought to define clinically meaningful subgroups. Whether these subgroups represent stable phenotypes or transient disease states remains unclear.
