Approx. 50% of patients with pediatric-onset rheumatic disease are lost to follow-up as they transfer to adult care. What can we do? A lot! A few suggestions and resources in the comments. @ACRheum @GotTransition

Great suggestions and insights from @SarahBayefskyMD to help rheumatologists as #pedsrheum patients transition to adult care. #ACR24

Congrats @Annatomiga!! Can’t wait to see what you learn and how you improve the care of kids with #jia. #pedsrheum
So grateful to @carrainc and @ArthritisFdn for this opportunity to study diagnostic delay in JIA and to start figuring out how to get kiddos with arthritis to diagnosis and treatment more quickly!

Great list of some of the essential #SLE management papers. So useful for both junior AND experienced clinicians!
Ahead of the@SLEuroSociety this week I was asked by a trainee to share 10 papers that will help junior clinicians when managing #SLE for the first time & thought I'd share the list here too Please add your 'go to' papers that give an overview of managing the disease clinically

Agree, great job @DrDNAbel! She def pulled some punches. This is a big issue that #PBMs have fought to silence - ppl should be livid, esp in #RareDisease community. Why do PBM exist? ...

Very proud of @ChildrensPhila #pedsrheum fellow @DrDNAbel for this beautifully written letter in@PhillyInquirer about the absolutely unconscionable rigamarole that is insurance prior authorization. inquirer.com/opinion/comment… @ACRheum @ACRheumDC @carrainc

🦓#RareDiseaseDay is close to our heart because CARRA was founded by peds rheumatologists who realized that the only way to advance research in rare pediatric rheumatic diseases was to create a collaborative network and work together. 💙 #Showyourstripes @RareDiseases
