Within 1 week of launching the registry, rheumatology providers from around the world have submitted data on more than 100 cases, allowing very preliminary characterisa tion and rapid dissemination of information regarding COVID-19 in individuals with rheumatic disease. We expect that a major contribution of the COVID-19 Global Rheumatology Alliance will be rapid dissemination of information, since existing national patient registries might be less equipped to capture data on a global scale, given fixed timepoints and restrictions on consent of new individuals. In summary, the COVID-19 Global Rheumatology Alliance represents the commitment of rheumatologists to generate rapid data to help inform the care of individuals with rheumatic disease and those using immunomodulating therapies.	./cache/cord-331328-qom8vl94.txt	./txt/cord-331328-qom8vl94.txt
