Association of Elevated Platelets and C‐Reactive Protein With Severe Disease and Poor Survival in Systemic Sclerosis

Arthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.
Objective Elevated C‐reactive protein (CRP) levels in systemic sclerosis (SSc) have been linked with severe disease and worse survival, but the role of platelet levels remains unclear. This study examined whether elevated platelet levels, CRP levels, or both are associated with disease severity, progression, and survival in SSc.

Cardiovascular Toxicity Associated With Bispecific Antibodies in Hematological Malignancies: A Comprehensive Pharmacovigilance Analysis

American Journal of Hematology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Cardiovascular adverse events (CVAEs) associated with bispecific T‐cell engaging antibodies (BsAbs) have not been systematically investigated across approved agents. In this disproportionality analysis of FAERS (December 2014–September 2025), reports listing BsAbs as the primary suspected drug (n = 7647) were compared with all other drugs in ...
