Abstract
Background:Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), has raised several questions in patients with immune-mediated inflammatory diseases (IMID). Whether the seroprevalence and factors associated with symptomatic COVID-19 are similar in IMID patients and in the general population is still unknown.Objectives:To assess the serological and clinical prevalence of COVID-19 in European IMID patients, along with the factors associated with its risk and the impacts the pandemic had on the IMID management.Methods:Prospective multicentre cross-sectional study among patients with five IMID (i.e. systemic lupus erythematous, Sjögren’s syndrome, rheumatoid arthritis, axial spondylarthritis or giant cell arteritis) from six tertiary-referral centers from France, Germany, Italy, Portugal, Spain and United Kingdom. Demographics, comorbidities, IMID, treatments, flares and COVID-19 details were collected. Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) serological tests were systematically performed.Results:Between June 7 and December 8, 2020, 3028 patients were included (median age 58 years, 73.9% females). SARS-CoV-2 antibodies were detected in 166 (5.5%) patients. Symptomatic COVID-19 was seen in 122 patients (prevalence: 4.0%, 95% CI 3.4-4.8%); 23 (24.2%) of them were hospitalized and four (3.2%) died. In multivariate logistic regression analysis, symptomatic COVID-19 was more likely to be observed in patients with higher levels of C-reactive protein (OR: 1.18; 95% CI 1.05-1.33; p = 0.006), and increased with the number of IMID flares (OR: 1.27; 95% CI 1.02-1.58; p = 0.03). Conversely, it was less likely to occur in patients treated with biological therapy (OR: 0.51; 95% CI 0.32-0.82; p = 0.006). During the pandemic, at least one self-reported disease flare was seen in 654 (21.6%) patients. Also, 519 (20.6%) patients experienced changes in their treatment, with 125 of these (24.1%) being due to COVID-19.Conclusion:The SARS-CoV-2 prevalence in IMID patients over the study period seems to be similar to that of the general population1. The IMID inflammatory status seems to be independently associated with the development of COVID-19.References:[1]Pollán M, Pérez-Gómez B, Pastor-Barriuso R, Oteo J, Hernán MA, Pérez-Olmeda M, et al.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Immunoglobulin-G4-related disease (IgG4-RD) is a recently recognized fibro-inflammatory condition that can affect multiple organs. Despite growing interest in this condition, the natural history and management of IgG4-RD remain poorly understood. AIM To describe the clinical characteristics, treatment and outcomes of IgG4-RD in a multi-ethnic UK cohort, and investigate its possible association with malignancy. DESIGN Retrospective analysis of case-note and electronic data. METHODS Cases were identified from sub-specialty cohorts and a systematic search of an NHS trust histopathology database using 'IgG4' or 'inflammatory pseudotumour' as search terms. Electronic records, imaging and histopathology reports were reviewed. RESULTS In total, 66 identified cases of IgG4-RD showed a similar multi-ethnic spread to the local population of North West London. The median age was 59 years and 71% of patients were male. Presenting symptoms relating to mass effect of a lesion were present in 48% of cases and the mean number of organs involved was 2.4. Total of 10 patients had reported malignancies with 6 of these being haematological. 83% of those treated with steroids had good initial response; however, 50% had relapsing-remitting disease. Rituximab was administered in 11 cases and all achieved an initial serological response. Despite this, seven patients subsequently relapsed after a mean duration of 11 months and four progressed despite treatment. CONCLUSIONS We report a large UK-based cohort of IgG4-RD that shows no clear ethnic predisposition and a wide range of affected organs. We discuss the use of serum IgG4 concentrations as a disease marker in IgG4-RD, the association with malignant disease and outcomes according to differing treatment regimens.

Abstract
AIM To ascertain whether consultants that have been practising for longer lead faster post-take medical ward rounds. METHOD Single-centre observational study of nine consultant physicians at morning post-take medical ward rounds at a district general hospital in the North West of London. RESULTS Data were gathered from 25 post-take medical ward rounds. Multivariate regression analysis revealed that less time is spent per patient when consultants have been practising for longer (p<0.01), or have spent more time on the specialist register (p<0.01), with no discernible relation to the outcomes for the patients seen. This time is further reduced when a greater number of patients are seen on the ward round. CONCLUSION More experienced consultant physicians conduct faster post-take medical ward rounds.
