Multicenter Study Observational Study
Addressing ethnic disparities in neurological research in the United Kingdom: an example from the prospective multicentre COVID-19 Clinical Neuroscience Study.
Minority ethnic groups have often been underrepresented in research, posing a problem in relation to external validity and extrapolation of findings. Here, we aimed to assess recruitment and retainment strategies in a large observational study assessing neurological complications following SARS-CoV-2 infection. ⋯ Recruitment barriers in relation to potentially underrepresented ethnic groups may be overcome with strategies identified here.

Multicenter Study
Recurrent (or episodic) fever of unknown origin (FUO) as a variant subgroup of classical FUO: a French Multicenter Retrospective study of 170 patients.
Recurrent FUO (fever of unknown origin) is a rare subtype of FUO for which diagnostic procedures are ill-defined and outcome data are lacking. ⋯ This study extends the known yield of recurrent FUO and highlights the importance of repeated complete clinical examinations to discover potential diagnostic clues during follow-up. Moreover, their overall prognosis is excellent.
