Abstract

During the COVID-19 pandemic, the Amsterdam Rheumatology Center conducted a large prospective cohort study to answer questions related to COVID-19 in patients with chronic inflammatory conditions. Using digital questionnaires and finger-prick blood samples, they were able to respond quickly to changes in the pandemic. This has helped answer several questions about COVID-19 and adjust vaccination and treatment guidelines for these patients. The result was the development of a platform useful for epidemiological research and information provision for vulnerable groups during a pandemic.
