Article Synopsis
- The study explores how electronic health records (EHR) can be used to accurately define chronic pain cases by analyzing structured data from patients.
- It assesses different algorithms' performance in identifying chronic pain, revealing that accuracy varies by patient demographics and disease factors.
- Findings indicate that while some algorithms performed well, there's a need for improvements to enhance chronic pain identification across diverse groups.
Article Synopsis
- - The study aimed to update the 1998 Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) Core Outcome Set by evaluating existing domains and generating new ones, involving both patients and collaborators in the process.
- - A survey collected responses from 100 patients and 145 collaborators, revealing that patients focused on life-impact domains while collaborators emphasized clinical aspects, highlighting a need for balanced input from both groups.
- - Findings showed agreement on some domains for inclusion in the updated SLE Core Outcome Set, while also identifying areas that need more explanation and suggesting new domains for consideration.
Background: Web-based surveys can be effective data collection instruments; however, participation is notoriously low, particularly among professionals such as physicians. Few studies have explored the impact of varying amounts of monetary incentives on survey completion.
Objective: This study aims to conduct a randomized study to assess how different incentive amounts influenced survey participation among neurologists in the United States.
Understanding the immune responses to SARS-CoV-2 vaccination is critical to optimizing vaccination strategies for individuals with autoimmune diseases, such as systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Here, we comprehensively analyzed innate and adaptive immune responses in 19 patients with SLE receiving a complete 2-dose Pfizer-BioNTech mRNA vaccine (BNT162b2) regimen compared with a control cohort of 56 healthy control (HC) volunteers. Patients with SLE exhibited impaired neutralizing antibody production and antigen-specific CD4+ and CD8+ T cell responses relative to HC.

Objective: The objective of the SIG and the subsequent meetings of the SLE Working Group was to begin the winnowing and binning of candidate domain sub-themes into a preliminary list of candidate domains that will proceed to the consensus Delphi exercise for the SLE COS.
Methods: Four breakout groups at the SLE SIG in Colorado Springs winnowed and binned 132 domain sub-themes into candidate domains, which was continued with a series of virtual meetings by an advisory group of SLE patient research partners (PRPs), members of the OMERACT SLE Working Group Steering Committee, and other collaborators.
