In two distinct cohorts of adults with lupus, several patient-reported outcomes, including fatigue, depression, perceived stress, coping, & self-efficacy, were consistently associated with physical function, reinforcing their relationship with overall health in SLE AC&R doi.org/10.1002/acr....

Thank you @rcphysicians.bsky.social for featuring our work on health literacy
#Healthinequalities arise from interlinked factors such as poverty, transport, housing & access to care. Alongside these, health literacy remains a critical but under-recognised influence. Dr Mrinalini Dey explores how health literacy is a core determinant of #health: ow.ly/fipq50XlHjl
My summary on the GLP-1 data presented at #ACR25
GLP-1 Receptor Agonists: Impacts Beyond Metabolism? Across multiple abstracts, investigators have used a large real-world dataset, the TriNetX network, to explore how GLP-1RAs might influence cardiovascular, renal and immune-mediated outcomes in our patients. #ACR25 rheumnow.com/news/glp-1-r...
At #ACR25, the session “Enhancing Shared Decision Making in Rheumatic Disease Management” brought together clinicians, researchers & patients to reflect on what it means to share decisions in rheumatology, not as an abstract concept, but as lived practice shaped by communication, trust & equity.
👉 5 clusters based on health literacy Q scores: -highest health lit: older, fewer female, more comorbidities -lowest health lit: younger, more anxiety & depression 🤔 Implications: older, more comorbidities were people with more healthcare engagement and pt education? #ACR25

I get excited for this talk every year- looking forward to hearing Dr Tamika Webb-Detiege’s pearls of wisdom on #WorkLifeBalance to remind us that, as much as we love it, life is more than just about work. A great start to #ACR25! @rheumnow.bsky.social
#ACR25 From the UK @drminidey.bsky.social has focused on comorbidities & SDOH for people with rheumatic disease, and now focusing quite a bit on health literacy acrabstracts.org/abstract/hea...
