Real-world treatment patterns and clinical characteristics in patients with moderate-to-severe systemic lupus erythematosus: an analysis of the SLE Prospective Observational Cohort... by Raj Tummala, Richard A Furie, Laurent Arnaud, Eric F Morand, Martin Aringer, Stephanie Chen, Barnabas Desta, Alberta Hoi, Bo Ding, Christine Peschken, Jonatan Hedberg, Tina Grünfeld Eén, Alessandro Sorrentino, Danuta Kielar

“…Disease activity (SLE Disease Activity Index 2000 (SLEDAI-2K)), average oral glucocorticoid dose and use of other treatments—specifically antimalarials, biologics and immunosuppressants—were measured over time. Subgroup analyses were stratified by baseline interferon gene signature (IFNGS) status and disease activity (SLEDAI-2K) status.Results Patient demographics and baseline characteristics were similar among subgroups; the majority of patients were on antimalarials (n=670; 81.1%), followed by glucocorticoids (n=537; 65.0%), immunosuppressants (n=453; 54.8%) and biologics (n=175; 21.2%). …”

Parameter Evaluation for a Statistical Mechanical Model for Binary Choice with Social Interaction by Alex Akwasi Opoku, Godwin Osabutey, Charles Kwofie

“…This work differs from the previous work that motivated this work in the following sense: (a) the reference population is divided into subgroups with unequal subgroup sizes, (b) the proportion of individuals in each of the subgroups may depend on the population size N, and (c) the method of partial least squares is used for estimating the parameters of the model with social interaction as opposed to the least squares method used in the earlier work.…”
