Abstract

This study will investigate whether arthritis patients are at particularly high risk of developing life-threatening complications if they contract COVID-19. A group of arthritis specialists at Rigshospitalet, University of Copenhagen, will therefore study the admission frequency and death rate of arthritis patients as well as the impact of treatment with immunosuppressants on the course of the disease.
