Association of large joint involvement at the start of biological disease ‐modifying antirheumatic drugs and Janus kinase inhibitors with disease activity and drug retention in patients with rheumatoid arthritis: The ANSWER cohort study
ConclusionAlthough LJI was associated with a greater reduction in disease activity from baseline, higher disease activity at baseline was not offset over time in patients with LJI, demonstrating that LJI is an unfavorable predictor. An early treat-to-target strategy using an IL-6Ri may be beneficial for patients with LJI. (Source: International Journal of Rheumatic Diseases)

Population ‐wide long‐term study of incidence, renal failure, and mortality rates for lupus nephritis
ConclusionsThe incidence rate of LN in WA remained unchanged over 30  years. A lack of improvement in renal failure and mortality rates illustrates the pressing need for better long-term treatment options and/or strategies in LN. (Source: International Journal of Rheumatic Diseases)
