Abstract
To describe the status of using biological Disease Modifying Anti Rheumatic Drugs (bDMARDs) to treat rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and related factors. In addition, the study determined the impact of COVID-19 on the usage of bDMARDs. This is a cross-sectional study and included 219 RA patients over 18 years old. The Kaplan–Meier method and the log-rank test (p < 0.05) were used to estimate the retention time and compare between different times. Cox regression analysis was used to determine the factors affecting the retention time of biological drugs (p < 0.05). Out of 1967 courses of treatment, there were 149 (7.6%) drug discontinuations, 760 (38.6%) doses extensions and 64 (3.3%) drug switch. Moderate disease level and choosing tumor necrosis factor (TNF) inhibitors initially were associated with retention time of COVID-19. Drug discontinuations and dose extensions increased after COVID-19 emergence. The retention time during COVID-19 was significantly different from that of pre-COVID-19. Gender, type of first-used bDMARD, conventional synthetic DMARDs (csDMARDs) and corticoid usage status, disease activity levels were associated with retention time. The presence of COVID-19 has a significant effect on usage status of the biologic drug. Further longitudinal studies are needed to clarify the relationship between COVID-19 and drug usage as well as related factors. Describir el estado del uso de fármacos antirreumáticos modificadores de la enfermedad biológica (bDMARD) para tratar la artritis reumatoide (AR) y los factores relacionados. Además, el estudio determinó el impacto de COVID-19 en el uso de bDMARD. Este es un estudio transversal que incluyó a 219 pacientes con AR mayores de 18 años. El método Kaplan-Meier y la prueba Log-rank (p < 0,05) se usaron para estimar el tiempo de retención y compararlo entre diferentes tiempos. El análisis de regresión de Cox se utilizó para determinar los factores que afectan el tiempo de retención de los medicamentos biológicos (p < 0,05). De 1.967 cursos de tratamiento, hubo 149 (7,6%) interrupciones del fármaco, 760 (38,6%) extensiones de dosis y 64 (3,3%) cambios de fármaco. Nivel de enfermedad moderado y elección del factor de necrosis tumoral (TNF) inhibidores inicialmente se asociaron con el tiempo de retención de COVID-19. Las discontinuaciones de los medicamentos y las extensiones de las dosis aumentaron después de la aparición de COVID-19. El tiempo de retención durante COVID-19 fue significativamente diferente del pre-COVID-19. Género, tipo de bDMARD de primer uso, convencional DMARD sintéticos (csDMARDs) y el estado de uso de corticoides, los niveles de actividad de la enfermedad se asociaron con el tiempo de retención. La presencia de COVID-19 tiene un efecto significativo en el estado de uso del medicamento biológico. Se necesitan más estudios longitudinales para aclarar la relación entre COVID-19 y el uso de fármacos, así como los factores relacionados.
