COVID 19 Updates from RheumNow

Social

Excellent job by @jeffsparks @zach_wallace_md @rheum_covid on Abs#0P0006 at #EULAR2021. ⭐️RTX and JAKi: increased COVID severity, not seen in IL-6 or ABA. Critical findings, but confounding role of co-morbidities/ILD/cancer, esp in RTX patients? @RheumNow

I'm presenting data on COVID-19 in Irish rheumatic disease patients. Age, number comorbidities, glucocorticoids, associated increased hospitalisation. Inflammatory arthritis associated decreased hospitalisation. @RheumNow #EULAR2021 #AbstrPOS1162 https://t.co/0gKxiMNYTf

#EULAR2021 recommendations: RMDs face no more risk of contracting COVID-19, no current evidence of worse prognosis. Do you tell patients similar stats? @RheumNow

What to tell pts with IA about their risk with #COVID19? Depends. Age & major comorbidities (CAD, COPD, HTN, DM, ⬆️ BMI, steroids) are impt. IA pts have ⬆️ ICU admissions & intubation so risk is ⬆️ but pts with IA were older with ⬆️comorbidities vs controls @RheumNow #EULAR2021

What to tell IA pts re response to #CovidVaccine? Global Rheum Alliance showed worse outcomes if on #Rituximab for #SARS_CoV_2 infection OP0006 Good immunity was found with Pfizer vaccine against spike protein but MTX, steroids, MMF blunt response LB003 #EULAR2021 @RheumNow

Wow! Video vaccine education message directly sent to patient cell phones by SMS is low cost, simple and effective to educate rheum patients about #COVIDvaccine. 76.6% of pts were more likely to take the vaccine. Abst#OP0009-PARE #EULAR2021 @rheumnow Dr. L Rajagopala https://t.co/OLBOSrmHVR
