Its taken 8 years to publication today! Thanks to the colleagues, funders and patients who made this possible. 3fold fewer #lupus flares with belimumab after Rituximab @VersusArthritis @UCLHresearch @GSK @ucl @LUPUSUK https://t.co/hMCMHTSeah
There are several reasons to think that the new UK #SARSCoV2 variant is an important one as it might be more contagious than other variants, but there are also some uncertainties. So much misinformation is being circulated, so this thread brings key data together. 🧵
@stats_q Mail-in voting and COVID would be my guess, which I suppose comes under sampling issues. In both UK and USA polls have been inaccurate for a while though, I wonder if they're still struggling to interpret internet polls mixed up with phone polls.
The BEAT-LUPUS trial analysis plan is now published! Will evaluate anti-dsDNA and flares, and whether effect of belimumab is mediated through steroid dose changes. Results later in 2020. @MikeEhrenstein@CarolinendLupus@UCL_CCTU @VersusArthritis

@guardianworld Were small sample sizes and random variability considered when examining these mortality rates? If not it could explain much of this. A trust seeing 10 patients could have 80% mortality, but really that's compatible with underlying mortality as low as 44% (or high as 97%!).
SAP published for the KERALINK trial, testing the hypothesis that corneal cross-linking (CXL) treatment reduces the progression of keratoconus in comparison to standard care in patients aged 10–16 years. Results expected later this year!
