Thrombocytopenia and disease outcomes in a cohort of patients with systemic lupus erythematosus. A post hoc analysis of the COMOSLE ‐EGYPT study
ConclusionThrombocytopenia was associated with more organ damage and higher mortality in SLE patients with or without APL antibodies. SLE patients with thrombocytopenia have a 3.4 times higher risk of mortality than patients without thrombocytopenia. Apart from thrombocytopenia, the male gender was also found to be an independent risk factor for mortality. (Source: International Journal of Rheumatic Diseases)

Is it possible to predict which patients are most likely to benefit from intra ‐articular corticosteroid injections? A systematic review
ConclusionSeveral patient features have been identified as positive predictors of outcomes following IACIs. However, this systematic review has identified inconsistent and variable findings across the existing literature. Further research with standardization of IACI administration and outcome measures is required to facilitate further analysis of the reliability and significance of predictive factors for response to IACIs.
