💻Part of the explosion of NLP studies in rheum

Here the UCSF group aimed to capture VZV cases (differentiate from vaccination); and to capture active vs historical cases

See their diagrams explaining the steps!

I think this is a trainee-led study (kudos to them!) on the confidence of IM residents to identify derm/rheum rashes in a variety of skin types

Small sample size (n=27) and limited info collected in their survey, but big concept

UK Biobank study: IRD & COVID death

🔎Premise: RA is RF for COVID death; wanted to look at other IRDs and sex-spec differences

#ACR22

@zach_wallace_md @JYazdanyMD @MilenaGianfran @kat_liao @Dr_K @NaomiRheumMD @philipcrobinson @TonyMerriman2 Abs 0721 cont'd

👉Significant association found between RA & ⬆risk of COVID death

When non-RA IRDs combined, no association found
