    Title translation Difficult-to-treat rheumatoid arthritis.
    Abstract Rheumatoid arthritis is the most common inflammatory arthritis and has benefited from significant advances in its management in the past years. However, specific challenges persist, including the management of difficult-to-treat rheumatoid (D2TRA), which is defined by the failure of at least two biological or targeted synthetic disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs with a different mechanism of action. D2TRA reported prevalence is from 5 to 20 %. EULAR (European Alliance of Associations for Rheumatology) proposed a step-by-step approach for managing D2TRA, starting with confirmation of diagnosis, assessment of inflammatory activity, immunosuppressive treatment choice and non-pharmacological treatment.

    Title translation Use of clinical scores for rheumatoid arthritis and inflammatory rheumatic diseases in routine care.
    Abstract Many clinical scores have been developed in research to measure rheumatoid arthritis (RA), spondyloarthritis (SpA) and psoriatic arthritis (PsA) activity. In routine care, they may be used as part of a treat to target (T2T) strategy consisting of a systematic evaluation of disease activity followed by an adaptation of the treatment in order to reach a predefined therapeutic target, generally remission. The benefits of this strategy have been showed in RA and its use is recommended for this condition. The added value of the T2T strategy for SpA and PsA remains debated, requiring further studies. Scores may be used for the follow-up of patients, but their limitations should be taken in consideration.

    Title translation Sjögren's syndrome: from diagnosis to treatment.
    Abstract Sjögren's syndrome (SS) is an auto-immune condition involving salivary and lacrymal glands leading to dry mouth and dry eyes symptoms. Some patients also present with systemic manifestations. Diagnosis of SS is made after clinical, serological, and histological assessment according to the American College of Rheumatology and European League Against Rheumatism (EULAR) classification criteria. Recent clinical trials showed a significant decrease of systemic activity of SS in patients treated with iscalimab (anti-CD40) and ianalumab (anti-BAFF-R). These results need to be confirmed in larger studies. However, two phase 3 randomized trials did not show efficacy treating SS with abatacept. We also describe in this article the first EULAR recommendations on SS management.

    Title translation Rheumatology and COVID-19.
    Abstract Current pandemic implies changes in patient care in rheumatology to reduce the risk of coronavirus transmission to patients visiting health-care facilities, by organizing less frequent blood tests, using teleconsultations, and switching from intravenous to subcutaneous drug administration. Patients under immunosuppressive treatment are considered at high risk of severe outcome and are protected accordingly by the Swiss authorities. However, current, scarce scientific evidence suggests that patients under immunosuppressive therapy do not necessarily develop severe COVID-19 presentations. Therefore, the current guidelines recommend pursuing the treatment throughout the pandemic. In case of SARS-CoV-2 infection, immunosuppressive drugs should be temporarily stopped, except for glucocorticoids, hydroxychloroquine and sulfasalazine.

    Title translation Arthritis 4.0 : The digital cycle has begun.
    Abstract Current digital solutions in rheumatology support patients in terms of information and communication. E-diagnosis and symptom checker potentially reduce the delay of diagnosis. Patient reported outcome is increasingly used to monitor disease activity. In future, motion tracker and other types of sensors e.g. in smartphones might provide further information in order to predict disease flares. Artificial intelligence will likely be used for disease stratification, prediction and treatment choice. Together a « digital cycle » including diagnosis, surveillance and treat-ment decision is going to be established. The role of the rheuma-tologists within this cycle needs to be defined.

    Abstract Background: In Switzerland, rituximab (RTX) is licenced for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and ANCA-associated vasculitis (AAV) but is frequently used off-label to treat other auto-immune diseases (AID), especially connective tissue diseases (CTD). We aimed to characterise the use of RTX in AID in a real-life Swiss setting and compare RTX retention rates and safety outcomes between patients treated for RA, CTD and AAV.
    Methods: A retrospective cohort study of patients who started RTX in the Rheumatology Department for RA or AID. The RTX retention rate was analysed using Kaplan-Meier survival curves. Occurrences of serious adverse events (SAE), low IgG levels and anti-drug antibodies (ADA) were reported.
    Results: Two hundred three patients were treated with RTX: 51.7% had RA, 29.6% CTD, 9.9% vasculitis and 8.9% other AIDs. The total observation time was 665 patient-years. RTX retention probability at 2 years (95%CI) was similar for RA and CTD 0.65 (0.55 to 0.73), 0.60 (0.47 to 0.72) and lower for vasculitis 0.25 (0.09 to 0.45). Survival curves for RTX retention matched closely (p = 0.97) between RA and CTD patients but were lower for patients with vasculitis due to a higher percentage of induced remission. Patients with vasculitis (95%) and CTD (75%) had a higher rate of concomitant glucocorticoid use than RA (60%). Moderate to severe hypogammaglobulinaemia was observed more frequently in patients with vasculitis (35%) than with RA (13%) or CTD (9%) and was associated with an increased risk of presenting a first infectious SAE (HR 2.01, 95% CI 1.04 to 3.91). The incidence rate of SAE was 23.3 SAE/100 patient-years (36% were infectious). When searched, ADAs were observed in 18% of the patients and were detected in 63% of infusions-related SAE. 10 patients died during RTX treatment and up to 12 months after the last RTX infusion, 50% from infection.
    Conclusion: RTX retention rates are similar for patients with RA and CTD but lower for those with vasculitis due to more frequent remission. Patients treated with RTX for vasculitis present more SAE and infectious SAE than patients with RA and CTD, potentially due to a higher use of concomitant glucocorticoids and the occurrence of hypogammaglobulinaemia.

    Abstract Background: Remitting seronegative symmetrical synovitis with pitting edema is a rare rheumatic condition of the elderly population that is well described but whose mechanisms remain little studied. This syndrome is characterized by symmetrical swelling located mainly on the dorsal part of the hands and the feet. Because of possible heterogeneous clinical presentation, it can easily mimic the onset of other rheumatic diseases or appear associated with them. Here we report a case of a patient who developed remitting seronegative symmetrical synovitis with pitting edema with preexisting shoulder and hip girdle pain associated with progressive fatigue, indicating a possible differential diagnosis of polymyalgia rheumatica. We reviewed and compared classification for remitting seronegative symmetrical synovitis with pitting edema and polymyalgia rheumatica and discussed other differential diagnoses.
    Case presentation: An 84-year-old Caucasian woman presented to our General Medicine Unit with acute onset of symmetrical hands and feet edema, leading to functional limitation due to pain and stiffness. Additionally, she was complaining about neck, shoulder, and pelvic girdle pain present for about 2 months associated with worsening asthenia. Blood tests showed an elevated level of C-reactive protein and erythrocyte sedimentation rate, as well as absence of anti-cyclic citrullinated peptide antibodies and rheumatoid factor. As all criteria of remitting seronegative symmetrical synovitis with pitting edema syndrome were present, the patient was treated with low-dose prednisone, with a rapid and complete resolution of symptoms. She remains asymptomatic without treatment 2 years after the onset of symptoms, without any evident oncologic etiology.
    Conclusions: This case is an example of a classic representation of remitting seronegative symmetrical synovitis with pitting edema syndrome with clinical elements suggesting a concomitant existing early stage of polymyalgia rheumatica. These two entities, classified in the group of seronegative arthritis, can coexist (up to 10% of cases), with remitting seronegative symmetrical synovitis with pitting edema appearing as an initial or late manifestation of polymyalgia rheumatica. It is essential to remind that remitting seronegative symmetrical synovitis with pitting edema is associated with a higher risk of cancer (30%). A proper diagnosis allows the clinician to precisely define the appropriate therapy duration to limit its side effects in the elderly and remain aware of the potential risk of underlying malignancy.
