Impact of long COVID on self-reported disease activity, disability, and quality of life in individuals with inflammatory arthritis.

Background: People with inflammatory arthritis are at risk for poor COVID-19 outcomes. Little is known about the impact of long COVID on disease activity, disability, and quality of life in this population.

Methods: We included participants with rheumatoid arthritis, psoriatic arthritis, juvenile idiopathic arthritis, or axial spondyloarthritis from RheumCARD, a prospective cohort study of people with rheumatic disease with and without prior COVID-19.
