Rheumatic disease is not considered a significant risk factor for long COVID, according to the findings of a Dutch prospective cohort study.
MILAN, Italy — Rheumatic disease is not considered a significant risk factor for long COVID, according to the findings of a Dutch prospective cohort study presented by Laura Boekel at the European Alliance of Associations for Rheumatology 2023 Annual Meeting.Although more patients with inflammatory rheumatic diseases report symptoms resembling long COVID, the data suggest that many of these symptoms can be attributed to the underlying rheumatic disease.
Moreover, irrespective of their previous COVID-19 infection status, iRD patients often exhibit symptoms similar to those of long COVID even without a prior COVID-19 infection. This suggests that some of the reported long COVID symptoms may actually be clinical manifestations of the underlying rheumatic disease, thereby complicating the diagnosis of long COVID in this population.
The cases of Omicron COVID-19 were identified during January 1-April 25, 2022, among iRD patients recruited from the Amsterdam Rheumatology and Immunology Center. The population with confirmed SARS-CoV-2 Omicron infection during this period was monitored for long COVID. The total number of patients included in the study consisted of 77 iRD patients and 23 healthy controls.
