AIM OF THE WORK: To study the impact on the quality of life (QoL) of rheumatoid
arthritis (RA) patients following up in a university hospital in Benin during the
severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV2) disease 2019
(COVID-19) pandemic. PATIENTS AND METHODS: The QoL of 68 RA patients was assessed
using Medical Outcome Study Short Form 36 (MOS-SF36) scale across the physical
(PCS) and mental (MCS) components scores. The disease activity score (DAS28) was
considered. Patients accepting to participate and having a mean of communication
via social network, in particular WhatsApp were included. RESULTS: The mean age
of the patients was 49.9 ± 12.1 years (11-83 years) and were 65 females and 3
males. The mean DAS-28 at the start of the restriction measures was 3.4 ± 1.5,
the mean PCS and MCS were 71.1 ± 20.3 and 67.1 ± 16.02 respectively and became
4.7 ± 2.04, 38.1 ± 4.96 and 36.8 ± 3.8 respectively. After 2 months, none of the
RA patients presented with classic symptoms of COVID-19 infection. 8 patients
were screened by Rapid Diagnostic Test and Reverse Transcription-Polymerase Chain
Reaction. Only 1 case was positive but asymptomatic. All patients had altered QoL
according to MOS-SF36. Factors associated with this deterioration were stress
related to SARS-CoV2 isolation (p = 0.001), stress of having an activity flare-up
(p = 0.001), fear of being stigmatized (p = 0.009). The economic factors were
significantly associated with temporary unemployment, decrease in monthly income,
and drug discontinuation (p = 0.001, p = 0.002 and p = 0.046 respectively).
CONCLUSION: The impact of the SARS-CoV2 pandemic is negative on the QoL of RA
patients and many factors were contributing.
