Background: The incidence and prognosis of COVID-19 and rheumatic disease vary among ethnicities and regions. COVID-19 outcomes in rheumatic disease patients remain unclear, especially in the Asia-Pacific region. This study aimed to clarify the demographic and clinical factors that may influence COVID-19 prognosis in rheumatic disease patients.
Conflict of interest K. Oku, Y. Kimoto, T. Horiuchi, M. Yamamoto, Y. Kondo, M. Okamoto, and Tatsuya Atsumi have no conflicts of interest to declare. T.Takeuchi has received a speaking fee from Eli Lilly Japan K.K., and a research grant from Chugai Pharmaceutical Co.
