Patients with autoimmune disease (AID) and coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) could have higher mortality due to the co-morbidity and the use of immunosuppressive therapy.
To analyze the risk factors and outcomes of patients with AID and COVID-19 versus a control group.
A prospective cohort study included patients with and without AID and COVID-19. Patients were paired by age and sex. Clinical, biochemical, immunological treatments, and outcomes (days of hospital stay, invasive mechanical ventilation [IMV], oxygen at discharge, and death) were collected.
We included 226 COVID-19 patients: 113 with AID (51.15 ± 14.3 years) and 113 controls (53.45 ± 13.3 years). The most frequent AIDs were Rheumatoid arthritis (26.5%), systemic lupus erythematosus (21%), and systemic sclerosis (14%). AID patients had lower lactate dehydrogenas, C-reactive protein, fibrinogen, IMV (P = 0.027), and oxygen levels at discharge (P ≤ 0.0001) and lower death rates (P ≤ 0.0001). Oxygen saturation (SaO2) ≤ 88% at hospitalization provided risk for IMV (RR [relative risk] 3.83, 95% confidence interval [95%CI] 1.1-13.6, P = 0.038). Higher creatinine and LDH levels were associated with death in the AID group. SaO2 ≤ 88% and CO-RADS ≥ 4 were risk factors for in-hospital mortality (RR 4.90, 95%CI 1.8-13.0, P = 0.001 and RR 7.60, 95%CI 1.4-39.7, P = 0.016, respectively). Anticoagulant therapy was protective (RR 0.36, 95%CI 0.1-0.9, P = 0.041).
Patients with AID had better outcomes with COVID-19 than controls. Anticoagulation was associated with a lower death in patients with AID.
由于合并症和免疫抑制治疗的使用,患有自身免疫性疾病(AID)和 2019 年冠状病毒病(COVID-19)的患者死亡率可能更高。
分析患有 AID 和 COVID-19 的患者与对照组的风险因素和结局。
一项前瞻性队列研究纳入了患有和不患有 AID 和 COVID-19 的患者。患者按年龄和性别配对。收集了临床、生化、免疫治疗以及结局(住院天数、有创机械通气[IMV]、出院时的氧气以及死亡)数据。
我们纳入了 226 例 COVID-19 患者:113 例患有 AID(51.15 ± 14.3 岁),113 例为对照组(53.45 ± 13.3 岁)。最常见的 AID 是类风湿关节炎(26.5%)、系统性红斑狼疮(21%)和系统性硬化症(14%)。AID 患者的乳酸脱氢酶、C 反应蛋白、纤维蛋白原、IMV(P = 0.027)和出院时的氧气水平(P ≤ 0.0001)较低,死亡率也较低(P ≤ 0.0001)。住院时的血氧饱和度(SaO2)≤88%是需要接受 IMV 的风险因素(相对风险[RR] 3.83,95%置信区间[95%CI] 1.1-13.6,P = 0.038)。较高的肌酐和 LDH 水平与 AID 患者的死亡相关。SaO2 ≤ 88%和 CO-RADS ≥ 4 是住院期间死亡的危险因素(RR 4.90,95%CI 1.8-13.0,P = 0.001 和 RR 7.60,95%CI 1.4-39.7,P = 0.016)。抗凝治疗具有保护作用(RR 0.36,95%CI 0.1-0.9,P = 0.041)。
患有 AID 的 COVID-19 患者的结局优于对照组。抗凝治疗与 AID 患者的死亡率降低相关。
