ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE:
To describe whether rheumatic inflammatory diseases (RID) are associated with a higher risk of hospitalization and/or mortality from COVID-19 and identify the factors associated with hospitalization and mortality in RID and COVID-19 in different Hospitals in Andalusia.METHODS:
Design:
Multicentre observational case-COntrol study. PATIENTS RID and COVID-19 from different centres in Andalusia. CONTROLS patients without RIS matched by sex, age and CRP-COVID. Protocol A list of patients with PCR for COVID-19 was requested from the microbiology service from March 14 to April 14, 2020. The patients who had RID were identified and then consecutively a paired control for each case. Variables The main outcome variable was hospital admission and mortality from COVID-19. Statistical analysis Bivariate followed by binary logistic regression models (DV mortality/hospital admission).RESULTS:
One hundred and fifty-six patients were included, 78 with RID and COVID-19 and 78 without RID with COVID-19. The patients did not present characteristics of COVID-19 disease different from the general population, nor did they present higher hospital admission or mortality. The factor associated with mortality in patients with RID was advanced age (OR [95% CI], 1.1 [1.0-1.2]; P= .025), while the factors associated with hospitalization were advanced age (OR [95% CI], 1.1 [1.0-1.1]; P = .007) and hypertension (OR [95% CI], 3.9 [1.5-6.7]; P = .003).CONCLUSION:
Mortality and hospital admission due to COVID-19 do not seem to increase in RID. Advanced age was associated with mortality in RID and, in addition, HTN was associated with hospital admission.Keywords
