Multicenter Study
[Hospitalization for infection in patients treated for giant cell arteritis: A single-centre retrospective study].
Infections are associated with morbimortality of patients with giant cell arteritis (GCA). The aim of this work was twofold: the identification of factors predisposing to the risk of infection and the description of patients hospitalized with an infection occurring during the treatment period of CAG. ⋯ Factors associated with infectious risk were identified. This preliminary monocentric work will continue with a national multicentre study.

Artificial intelligence (AI) using deep learning is revolutionizing several fields, including medicine, with a wide range of applications. Available since the end of 2022, ChatGPT is a conversational AI or "chatbot", using artificial intelligence to dialogue with its users in all fields. Through the example of hydroxychloroquine (HCQ), we discuss its use for patients, clinicians, or researchers, and discuss its performance and limitations, particularly in relation to algorithmic bias. If AI tools using deep learning do not dispense with the expertise and experience of a clinician (at least, for the moment), they have a potential to improve or simplify our daily practice.
