47). Spectral-domain OCT (SMD = - 0.55) seems more sensitive to detect RNFL thickness reduction than time-domain OCT (SMD = - 0.44). In addition, age, sex, disease duration, attack frequency, and intraocular pressure were not significantly associated with RNFL thickness.

The findings from our comprehensive meta-analysis with large datasets strengthen the clinical evidence of the RNFL thickness reduction in migraine. RNFL thickness via spectral-domain OCT measurement demonstrates the potential role in differentiating patients with migraine, especially migraine with aura, from healthy controls.

To compare the presence of allodynia, pain catastrophizing, and the impact of headaches on patients with cluster headache (CH) and healthy individuals. Our second aim was to analyze the relationship between catastrophism, psychological comorbidities, and the impact in CH.

We designed this cross-sectional study to compare various factors among 47 patients diagnosed with CH and 40 healthy controls, and then focus on catastrophism, anxiety, depression, and impact in the CH group.

There were statistically significant differences between CH and the asymptomatic group in Allodynia Symptom Checklist (ASC) (p < 0.001), Pain Catastrophizing Scale (p < 0.001), and HIT-6 (p < 0.001) scores. We found a correlation among ASC, PCS, anxiety-depression, EuroQoL, and HIT-6 for the CH group. In this group, we observed a strong positive correlation between PCS and anxiety (rho = 0.69; p < 0.001), PCS and depression (rho = 0.62; p < 0.001) and depression and EuroQoL (rho = - 0.68; p < 0.001). The regression model showed that the combination of anxiety and HIT-6 was a significant predictor of PCS (adjusted R

= 0.52).

Our findings reveal significant differences regarding allodynia, pain catastrophism, and impact in CH group compared with controls. We found a significant relationship between psychological comorbidity, pain catastrophism, and quality of life in CH patients. Anxiety and HIT-6 were a predictor (adjusted R

= 52%) of pain catastrophism. Screening for these comorbidities should be implemented through a multidisciplinary approach.

Neurodegenerative disorders are known to be chronic, disabling diseases that imply a higher vulnerability to infections, and for this reason, it has been suggested that SARS-CoV-2 infection may have a worse course in these patients. In the present study, we report our experience with 12 patients affected by Parkinson's disease (PD) who became infected with SARS-Cov-2 due to a COVID-19 outbreak in a care residency, and thus hospitalised in our COVID hospital. Most of the PD patients had a long disease duration and multiple comorbidities even though SARS-CoV-2 manifestations were mild, and none required intensive care. Despite lung conditions, most of our PD patients had mild symptoms 7 patients were clinically asymptomatic (58.3%); 3 patients had fever, cough, and myalgia (25%) and 2 patients had dyspnoea (16%) that needed high-flow oxygen therapy. Few complications related to PD were seen. All patients were discharged after a mean hospitalisation period of 30 days. Mortality rate during hospitalisation was zero. Our findings suggest that SARS-CoV-2 infection does not have a poor prognosis in patients with PD. More extensive data and evaluations, however, are needed to confirm our data, and caution is warranted.

To determine vaccination coverage among a French cohort of children with recurrent autoinflammatory fever syndromes (RFS).

All RFS children aged 2 to 19years from the Juvenile Inflammatory Rheumatism cohort and followed at the French Reference Center for Autoinflammatory Diseases, Versailles Hospital, were included in our observational study. Immunisation status at ages 2, 7 and 15years and at the last outpatient visit was evaluated according to the standard French vaccine schedule and recommended supplementary vaccines for patients with immunosuppressive therapy.

Of 200 patients, 90 (45%) had periodic fever, aphthous stomatitis, pharyngitis and adenitis syndrome; 52 (26%) had familial Mediterranean fever and 50 (25%) had undefined recurrent fever. Complete immunisation as per the standard schedule was obtained by 32% of patients at 2 years, 28% at 7 years, 6% at 15years and 44% at the last outpatient visit. Similar or higher coverage was obtained by the last outpatient visit for most vaccines, comparedon coverage for RFS children is suboptimal, especially for infants who present with recurrent febrile episodes. The initial vaccination delay is partially corrected through specialist follow-up in later years. Coverage according to the supplementary vaccine recommendations for immunosuppressed patients is poor. Key Points • Vaccination coverage for RFS children is suboptimal, especially at 2 years of age which is likely due to the prevalence of early recurrent febrile symptoms. • The initial vaccination delay is partially recovered during later follow-up at an expert rheumatology center. • Specific recommendations are particularly difficult to apply to patients on immunosuppressive therapy.
