Safety of COVID-19 Vaccination in Patients with Rheumatic and Musculoskeletal Diseases: A Cross-sectional Study in Egypt.
Objectives: To investigate the incidence and associated risk factors of adverse events following COVID-19 vaccination in patients with inflammatory and non-inflammatory rheumatic and musculoskeletal diseases (I-RMD and NI-RMD, respectively).
Methods: The Egyptian College of Rheumatology COVID-19 Study Group investigated physician-reported data (ECR-VaXurvey3) of RMD patients vaccinated against COVID-19 from December 2021 to June 2022, including their demographics, vaccination type, RMD diagnosis, treatments, post-vaccine flares, and other adverse events. The control group consisted of healthy, vaccinated individuals.
Results: The ECR-VaXurvey3 included 890 vaccinated RMD patients, predominantly women (73.3%) with a mean age of 44.4 ± 12.1 years, and 172 controls. The RMD group comprised 816 (91.7%) with I-RMD and 74 (8.3%) with NI-RMD. The frequency of adverse events was comparable between the RMD and control groups. In RMD patients, injection site pain (59.9%) was the most reported adverse event. Post-vaccination COVID-19 infections and disease flares were reported in 2.9% and 12.1% of I-RMD patients and in 8.1% and 9.5% of NI-RMD patients (p = 0.018 and p = 0.497, respectively). The severity of prior COVID-19 infection (odds ratio (OR) = 2.4, 95% CI: 1.0-5.8; p = 0.040) and azathioprine use (OR = 2.6, 95% CI: 1.1-5.9; p = 0.024) were associated with higher post-vaccine adverse events, while biologic use was associated with fewer adverse events (OR = 0.5, 95% CI: 0.3-0.8; p = 0.010).
Conclusions: Adverse events following COVID-19 vaccinations in patients with RMD are comparable to controls.
