Reduced Statin Use in Patients with Autoimmune Myopathies and Systemic Lupus Erythematosus Compared to Rheumatoid Arthritis and Non-Inflammatory Diseases
Background/Purpose: Rheumatic diseases such as autoimmune myopathy (AIM), systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), and rheumatoid arthritis (RA) confer an increased risk for atherosclerotic disease. The 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-coenzyme…Abstract Number: 1645 • ACR Convergence 2024
Antisynthetase Autoantibodies Disrupt the Function of Their Target Aminoacyl-tRNA Synthetases in Muscle Cells
Background/Purpose: Antisynthetase syndrome (AS) is type of myositis characterized by autoantibodies targeting aminoacyl-transfer tRNA synthetases (aaRSs), the enzymes responsible for loading the appropriate amino acid…Abstract Number: 2071 • ACR Convergence 2024
Self-Efficacy Contributes to Better Health Outcomes in Patients of Idiopathic Inflammatory Myopathies: Insights from the COVAD 3 Dataset
Background/Purpose: Self-efficacy is crucial for chronic disease management. Given the increasing prevalence of chronic diseases, encouraging patients to actively manage their disease may be an…Abstract Number: 2406 • ACR Convergence 2024
Neuropsychiatric Manifestations in Indian SLE Inception Cohort for Research: Prevalence, Predictors and Outcomes
Background/Purpose: Neuropsychiatric systemic lupus erythematosus (NPSLE) has a significant impact on morbidity associated with SLE. However, the prevalence of NPSLE has been reported variably based…Abstract Number: 0329 • ACR Convergence 2024
Racial, Ethnic, Sex, and Geographical Diversity in Myositis Clinical Trials: Future Steps for Equitable Representation by the MIHRA Global Equity and Clinical Trial Readiness Cores
Background/Purpose: The growing number of randomized clinical trials (RCTs) in idiopathic inflammatory myopathies (IIMs) points to a promising future for therapeutics in IIM. Adequate representation…Abstract Number: 1079 • ACR Convergence 2024
Early Recognition of Myositis: Time Correlation Between Transaminases and Inflammatory Myopathy in a Community-Based Rheumatology Practice
Background/Purpose: Recognizing muscle breakdown as a potential cause of elevated transaminases is crucial in the primary care setting to facilitate early referral to rheumatology for…Abstract Number: 1159 • ACR Convergence 2024
Anti-synthetase Syndrome (ASSD) Related Interstitial Lung Disease (ILD) in Comparison to Non-ASSD Related ILDs: Analysis from the “Classification Criteria for Anti-synthetase Syndrome (CLASS)” Project Database
Background/Purpose: Anti-synthetase syndrome (ASSD) is a subset of idiopathic inflammatory myopathy characterized by autoantibodies directed against aminoacyl tRNA synthetases. Interstitial lung disease (ILD) can be…Abstract Number: 1729 • ACR Convergence 2024
Prophylaxis Against Pneumocystis Jerovecii Pneumonia for Patients with Systemic Autoimmune Diseases: Analysis of the Veterans Affairs Database
Background/Purpose: Pneumocystis jirovecii Pneumonia (PJP) is an opportunistic infection that may affect immunocompromised patients. PJP prophylaxis has been recommended for some autoimmune diseases but not others.…Abstract Number: 2072 • ACR Convergence 2024
Clinical and Laboratory Features Associated with Pulmonary Involvement in Patients with Inflamatory Myopathy
Background/Purpose: Polymyositis (PM), dermatomyositis (DM), and anti-synthetase syndrome (AS) are conditions included among idiopathic inflammatory myopathies (IMs).. Interstitial lung disease (ILD) is one of the…
