Patients with chronic inflammatory disease (CID) treated immunosuppressive medications have increased risk for severe COVID-19. Although mRNA-based SARS-CoV-2 vaccination provides protection in immunocompetent persons, immunogenicity immunosuppressed patients CID is unclear.To determine the of vaccines CID.Prospective observational cohort study.Two U.S. referral centers.Volunteer sample adults confirmed eligible early COVID-19 vaccination, including hospital employees any age and older than...
ABSTRACT Background Individuals with chronic inflammatory diseases (CID) are frequently treated immunosuppressive medications that can increase their risk of severe COVID-19. While novel mRNA-based SARS-CoV-2 vaccination platforms provide robust protection in immunocompetent individuals, the immunogenicity CID patients on immunosuppression is not well established. Therefore, determining effectiveness vaccines setting essential to risk-stratify impaired and clinical guidance regarding...
Objective Little is known regarding the reactogenicity and related SARS–CoV‐2 vaccine response in patients with chronic inflammatory disease (CID). Our objective was to characterize adverse event profile of CID following vaccination understand relationship between immunogenicity vaccines. Methods healthy controls eligible receive messenger RNA (mRNA) vaccines participated 3 study visits (pre‐vaccine, after dose 1, 2) which blood clinical data were collected. Assessment events solicited...
Effective physician-patient communication is crucial for positive health outcomes patients with chronic diseases. However, current methods of physician education in are often insufficient to help physicians understand how patients' actions influenced by the contexts within which they live. An arts-based participatory theater approach can provide necessary equity framing address this deficiency.The aim study was develop, pilot, and conduct a formative evaluation an interactive skills...
Immunocompromised patients with chronic inflammatory disease (CID) may have experienced additional psychosocial burden during the COVID-19 pandemic due to their immunocompromised status. This study was undertaken determine if vaccination would result in improved patient-reported outcomes longitudinally among individuals CID undergoing SARS-CoV-2 regardless of baseline anxiety.
Chronic diseases are increasingly responsible for the burden of health outcomes across world. However, there is also increasing recognition that patterns chronic disease (e.g., mortality, quality life, etc.) have inequities race, gender, and socioeconomic groups cannot be solely attributed to these determinants. There a need an organizing framework which centers fundamental causes disparities may better guide future work in centering mechanisms moving beyond acknowledgment disparities. In...
<h3>Background</h3> Patients with SLE experience substantial health disparities. Studying the effect of spatial context on outcomes has become a focus in disparities research. The CDC Social Vulnerability Index (SVI) characterizes census tracts by individual dimensions social vulnerability, which create cumulative SVI capable identifying communities where determinants lead to higher levels morbidity and mortality. <h3>Objectives</h3> We sought understand level vulnerability patients reside...
