===Professors [[James Coyne]] and [[Keith Laws]]=== Professor Coyne and Professor Laws of the University of Hertfordshire have criticised, in a joint letter to Lancet Psychiatry, the long-term follow-up analysis of the PACE trial that was published in 2015.<ref name="CoyneLaws20160118">{{cite journal | last1 = Coyne | first1 = James | authorlink1 = James Coyne | last2 = Laws | first2 = Keith | authorlink2 = Keith Laws | title = (comment) Results of the PACE follow-up study are uninterpretable | journal = The Lancet Psychiatry | date = Jan 18, 2016 | volume = 3 | issue = 2 | pages = e6βe7 | doi = 10.1016/S2215-0366(15)00551-9 | issn=2215-0366 | url = http://www.thelancet.com/journals/lanpsy/article/PIIS2215-0366(15)00551-9/fulltext }}</ref> Referring to the results of the study as a whole, they said: <blockquote>"There are no group differences, and the overall mean short-form 36 (SF-63) physical functioning score is less than 60. It is useful to put this number in context. 77% of the PACE trial participants were women, and the mean age of the trial population was 38 years, with no other disabling medical conditions. Patients with lupus have a mean physical functioning score of 63, patients with class II congestive heart failure have a mean score lower than 60, and normal controls with no long-term health problems have a mean score of 93."</blockquote>
