TLDR
It is found that glucocorticoid exposure of ≥10 mg/day is associated with a higher odds of hospitalisation and anti-TNF with a decreased odds ofospitalisation in patients with rheumatic disease.Abstract:
Objectives COVID-19 outcomes in people with rheumatic diseases remain poorly understood. The aim was to examine demographic and clinical factors associated with COVID-19 hospitalisation status in people with rheumatic disease. Methods Case series of individuals with rheumatic disease and COVID-19 from the COVID-19 Global Rheumatology Alliance registry: 24 March 2020 to 20 April 2020. Multivariable logistic regression was used to estimate ORs and 95% CIs of hospitalisation. Age, sex, smoking status, rheumatic disease diagnosis, comorbidities and rheumatic disease medications taken immediately prior to infection were analysed. Results A total of 600 cases from 40 countries were included. Nearly half of the cases were hospitalised (277, 46%) and 55 (9%) died. In multivariable-adjusted models, prednisone dose ≥10 mg/day was associated with higher odds of hospitalisation (OR 2.05, 95% CI 1.06 to 3.96). Use of conventional disease-modifying antirheumatic drug (DMARD) alone or in combination with biologics/Janus Kinase inhibitors was not associated with hospitalisation (OR 1.23, 95% CI 0.70 to 2.17 and OR 0.74, 95% CI 0.37 to 1.46, respectively). Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) use was not associated with hospitalisation status (OR 0.64, 95% CI 0.39 to 1.06). Tumour necrosis factor inhibitor (anti-TNF) use was associated with a reduced odds of hospitalisation (OR 0.40, 95% CI 0.19 to 0.81), while no association with antimalarial use (OR 0.94, 95% CI 0.57 to 1.57) was observed. Conclusions We found that glucocorticoid exposure of ≥10 mg/day is associated with a higher odds of hospitalisation and anti-TNF with a decreased odds of hospitalisation in patients with rheumatic disease. Neither exposure to DMARDs nor NSAIDs were associated with increased odds of hospitalisation.read more

TL;DR: The association between NSAID use and deaths from COVID-19 using OpenSAFELY, a secure analytical platform found no evidence of a harmful effect of NSAIDs on CO VID-19 related deaths, and risks from COvid-19 do not need to influence decisions about therapeutic use ofNSAIDs.

TL;DR: The influence of the COVID-19 pandemic on African American cancer survivors is substantial: it has affected both their physical and mental health as discussed by the authors, and these factors will likely affect outcomes in this high-risk patient population.

The paradox of immunosuppressants and COVID-19.
Guang-Shing Cheng,Scott E. Evans +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a paradox arises: can immunosuppressive therapy both promote and protect against severe COVID-19-related respiratory failure, while sharing risks of increased infection susceptibility with cancer patients receiving chemotherapy and those with profound neutropenia from hematologic malignancies.
