“…In our study, all-cause hospitalizations in IIMs patients were higher than in patients with other SAIDs (30 versus 17%, respectively). Considering that IS/IM therapies are a known risk factor for worst outcomes in COVID-19 [ 9 , 11 , 14 ], our sample of patients with IIMs was more on IS/IM therapy than patients with other SAIDs, which may explain this finding. It is unclear why IIMs patients with BI had a lower incidence of headache and shorter duration of COVID-19 symptoms than patients with other SAIDs; this may represent a unique feature of COVID-19 in this subset of patients, which needs to be confirmed in future studies, or more probably a spurious finding owing to few BI cases in the IIMs group.…”

“…Patients with SAIDs, including IIMs, are a vulnerable population at an increased risk of disease severity and poorer clinical outcomes related to COVID-19 infection and possibly a higher incidence of COVID-19 infection compared to healthy counterparts [ 10 , 13 , 14 ]. We found a reported frequency of COVID-19 of 6.2% in IIMs patients and 10.5% in SAIDs before vaccination, which is higher than the rate of 0.36% previously reported in a systematic review of patients with inflammatory and autoimmune rheumatic diseases [ 13 ].…”

“…We read with great interest the article by Haig Pakhchanian et al regarding the COVID-19 outcomes in patients with Dermatomyositis: A registry-based cohort analysis [1] . We appreciated the results of Dermatomyositis patients may not have a worsening outcome of COVID-19 infection, including severe symptoms of COVID-19 infection, mortality, and sepsis, etc.…”
