Project description:BackgroundPatients with rheumatic diseases (RDs) like DM are known to be vulnerable towards various types of infections due to aggressive disease activity mandating high dose immunosuppressive therapy. The severity of COVID-19 in RDs is limited in literature due to the heterogeneous nature of the condition. Therefore, specific details on mortality is essential to navigate any precautions required in the treatment.ObjectivesTo determine outcomes of COVID-19 in DM as compared to controls, and identify the risk association of gender, race, interstitial lung disease, neoplasms, and use of immunosuppressant.MethodsRetrospective data of individuals with DM and COVID-19 and the general population with COVID-19 between January 2020 to August 2021 was retrieved from the TriNetX database. 1:1 Propensity Score matching was used to adjust for confounders. We assessed COVID-19 outcomes such as mortality, hospitalisation, ICU admission, severe COVID-19, mechanical ventilation (MV), acute kidney injury (AKI), venous thromboembolism (VTE), ischemic stroke, acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), renal replacement therapy (RRT) and sepsis. Subgroup analyses included gender, race, ILD, cancer patients, disease-modifying rheumatic drugs (DMARDs) use, and glucocorticoids (GC) use.ResultsWe identified 5,574 DM patients with COVID-19, and 5,574 general population with COVID-19 (controls). DM with COVID-19 had a lower risk of mortality in comparison to controls [RR 0.76], hospitalisation [RR 0.8], severe COVID-19 [RR 0.76], AKI [RR 0.83], and sepsis [RR 0.73]. Males and African Americans were more likely to develop AKI [RR 1.35, 1.65], while African Americans had higher odds for severe COVID-19 [RR 1.62] and VTE [RR 1.54]. DM with ILD group also experienced higher odds for severe COVID-19 infection [RR 1.64], and VTE [RR 2.06]. DM patients receiving DMARDs and glucocorticoids had higher odds for hospitalisation [RR 1.46, 2.12], and sepsis [RR 3.25, 2.4] Subgroup analysis of 5-year neoplasm history amongst DM patients with COVID-19 was inadequate for meaningful comparison.ConclusionDermatomyositis patients without comorbities have reasonable COVID-19 outcomes including mortality and hospitalisation. Black race, male gender, ILD, DMARDS and glucocorticoid users, are associated with poor outcomes.

Project description:The rapid transmission of the highly infectious severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), which causes coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), led to widespread infection throughout the world. Concerns and challenges regarding COVID-19 illness have emerged for patients with immune-mediated inflammatory diseases, such as spondyloarthritis (SpA), who receive treatment with biologic or targeted synthetic disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (DMARDs), because this population is vulnerable to infections and has a high prevalence of risk factors associated with severe COVID-19 illness. Available data on COVID-19 indicate that patients with SpA who are treated with DMARDs have SARS-CoV-2 infection rates comparable with those in the general population, with similar increased risk associated with older age and comorbidities. Novel vaccines against SARS-CoV-2 are approved or authorized for emergency use by the US Food and Drug Administration, and others are in development to prevent infection and serious illness. This review provides an overview of SpA, the mechanism of action for the SARS-CoV-2 infection, the clinical course of COVID-19, and the vaccines approved for, or in development against, SARS-CoV-2. Detailed information on the use of established vaccines in patients with SpA receiving DMARDs is provided, along with recommendations for COVID-19 vaccination. Available evidence has shown COVID-19 vaccination in patients with SpA, among other rheumatic diseases, to be safe and effective with most DMARD use; however, there is evidence of potential interference with some therapies used in SpA. Healthcare providers should educate patients to provide the knowledge and confidence to receive a COVID-19 vaccine, since the potential benefit outweighs the low risk of vaccine-related adverse events.

Project description:RNA was extracted from whole blood of subjects collected in Tempus tubes prior to COVID-19 mRNA booster vaccination. D01 and D21 correspond to samples collected at pre-dose 1 and pre-dose 2 respectively. RNA was also extracted from blood collected at indicated time points post-vaccination. DB1, DB2, DB4 and DB7 correspond to booster day 1 (pre-booster), booster day 2, booster day 4 and booster day 7 respectively. The case subject experienced cardiac complication following mRNA booster vaccination. We performed gene expression analysis of case versus controls over time.

Project description:Single-cell RNA-sequencing reveals a shift from focused IFN alpha-driven signals in COVID-19 ICU patients who survive to broad pro-inflammatory responses in fatal COVID-19 – a feature not observed in severe influenza. We conclude that fatal COVID-19 infection is driven by uncoordinated inflammatory responses that drive a hierarchy of T cell activation, elements of which can serve as prognostic indicators and potential targets for immune intervention.

Project description:BackgroundImmune thrombocytopenia (ITP) has been reported following COVID-19 vaccination. After index case fatalities, there was concern among patients both with and without a prior history of ITP in Australia.ObjectivesTo describe treatment outcomes of ITP after COVID-19 vaccination and compare relapsed vs historical pre-COVID-19 ITP cohorts.MethodsWe collected ITP cases in Australia within 6 weeks of receiving any COVID-19 vaccination as part of primary vaccination (up to October 17, 2021). Second, we reviewed platelet charts in a historical ITP cohort to determine whether platelet variability was distinct from relapsed ITP after vaccination.ResultsWe report on 50 patients (37 de novo, 13 relapsed ITP) vaccinated from March 22, 2021, to October 17, 2021. Although there was 1 fatality, bleeding was otherwise mostly minor: (70% WHO bleeding grade <2). De novo ITP was more likely after AstraZeneca ChAdOx1 nCoV-19 (89%) than Pfizer BNT162b2 (11%). Most patients responded quickly (median, 4 days; complete response, 40 of 45 [89%]). In the historical cohort, only 6 of 47 patients exhibited platelet variability (>50% decrease and platelets <100 × 109/L), but median platelet nadir was significantly higher than vaccination relapse (27 vs 6 × 109/L, P =.005).ConclusionITP was more frequently reported after AstraZeneca ChAdOx1 nCoV-19 than Pfizer BNT162b2 vaccination. Standard ITP treatments remain highly effective for de novo and relapsed ITP (96%). Although thrombocytopenia can be severe after vaccination, bleeding is usually mild. Despite some sampling bias, our data do not support a change in treatment strategies for patients with ITP after vaccination.

Project description:Fully vaccinated people remain at risk of Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19). We examined association between prior vaccination and clinical outcomes in patients with COVID-19. Overall, 387 patients with mild-to-severe COVID-19 were enrolled. Patients were considered fully vaccinated at least 14, 7, and 14 days after receiving the second dose of ChAdOx1 nCoV-19 or mRNA-1273, second dose of BNT162b2, or single dose of Ad26.COV2.S, respectively. The primary outcomes (risk of pneumonia, requirement of supplemental oxygen, and progression to respiratory failure) were compared between vaccinated and unvaccinated patients. Logistic regression analysis was performed to identify factors associated with the outcomes. There were 204 and 183 patients in the vaccinated and unvaccinated groups, respectively. The vaccinated group was significantly older and had more comorbidities than the unvaccinated group. Patients in the unvaccinated group were significantly more likely to develop pneumonia (65.6% vs. 36.8%) or require supplemental oxygen (29.0 vs. 15.7%) than the vaccinated group. The vaccinated group had a significantly shorter time from symptom onset to hospital discharge than the unvaccinated group (10 vs. 11 days; p<0.001). The proportion of patients who progressed to respiratory failure did not differ significantly between groups. In multivariable analyses, vaccination was associated with an approximately 70% and 82% lower likelihood of pneumonia and supplemental oxygen requirement, respectively. Being vaccinated was associated with a significantly lower risk of pneumonia and severe disease when breakthrough infection developed. Our findings support continuous efforts to increase vaccine coverage in populations.

Project description:Vaccination against COVID-19 reduces infection-related mortality. Unfortunately, reports of vaccine-induced immune thrombotic thrombocytopenia (VITT) in individuals administered adenovirus-vector-based vaccines (ChAdOx1 nCoV-19 and Ad26.COV2.S) have spurred side effect concerns. To address vaccine hesitancy related to this, it is essential to determine the incidence of VITT (defined by a 50% decrease in platelet count and positive anti-PF4 immunoassay within 4-28 days after vaccination) among patients administered two doses of an mRNA-based COVID-19 vaccination. We identified a retrospective cohort of 223,345 patients in the Cleveland Clinic Enterprise administered a COVID-19 vaccine at any location in Northeast Ohio and Florida from 12/4/2020 to 6/6/2021. 97.3% of these patients received an mRNA-based vaccination. Patients with: (1) a serial complete blood count both before and after vaccination and (2) a decrease in platelet count of ≥ 50% were selected for chart review. The primary outcome was the incidence of thrombotic events, including venous thromboembolism (VTE) and arterial thrombosis, 4-28 days post vaccination. Of 74 cohort patients with acute thrombosis, 72 (97.3%) demonstrated clear etiologies, such as active malignancy. Of two patients with unprovoked thrombosis, only one had findings concerning for VITT, with a strongly positive anti-PF4 antibody assay. In this large, multi-state, retrospective cohort, of 223,345 patients (97.2% of whom received the mRNA-based mRNA-1273 or BNT162b2 vaccines), we detected a single case that was concerning for VITT in a patient who received an mRNA vaccine. The overwhelming majority of patients with a thrombotic event 4-28 days following vaccination demonstrated clear etiologies.
