COVID-19 and post-covid syndrome in patients with rheumatoid arthritis
Objective: to study the course of COVID -19 and post-covid syndrome (PCS) in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA).Material and methods. The study included 32 adult patients with a confirmed diagnosis of RA, who met ACR/EULAR criteria. All patients had COVID-19. Material for analysis was obtained by means of a questionnaire developed at the V.A. Nasonova Research Institute of Rheumatology, which patients completed during their interview with the researcher.Results and discussion. The study group consisted mainly of women (n=29, 90%). The mean age of the patients was 50.75±16.48 years. Among the clinical manifestations of COVID-19, weakness/fatigue (90.6%; p<0.0001), fever (71.9%; p=0.0005) and anosmia (62.5%; p=0.045) were significantly more common. Almost half of the patients had dysgeusia (59.4%), increased arthralgia (53.1%), dyspnea on exertion (50%), and cough (46.9%). A significant positive association was found between increased arthralgia during COVID-19 and RA activity (r=0.72; p<0.05). Hospitalisation was required in 37.5% of patients with COVID-19.
