Impact in the Medical Care Among the Rheumatic Diseases Patients in a Hospital in México During COVID-19 Pandemic
Impact in the Medical Care Among the Rheumatic Diseases Patients in a Tertiary Hospital in México During the COVID-19 Pandemic
The National Institute of Medical Sciences and Nutrition is a national reference center for rheumatic diseases that belongs to The National Institutes of Health, and has Federal founding. More than 8,000 patients with a wide variety of rheumatologic diagnosis receive medical care.
On March 2020, the WHO announced COVID-19 outbreak a pandemic. The first case was registered in Mexico on February 2020. In March 2020, the Mexican Government requested that our Institution should restrict health care to exclusively COVID-19 patients; accordingly, outpatient consultations were, and up to August 2020 still, hold on.
Meanwhile, when possible, the Department of Immunology and Rheumatology has implemented an "on-demand", non-organized patient´s health care, through email and phone contact; nonetheless, and due to the middle-low socioeconomic status of most of our patients and limited technical resources available at our Institution, the attempt has been challenging.

Rheumatic diseases outpatients
All the rheumatic diseases outpatients from the National Institute of Medical Sciences and Nutrition that will assist their usual medical care posterior of stopped it during the COVID-19 pandemic. In order to explore how the patient´s disease activity, patient´s quality of life, and psychopathology will change with the reintegration at medical care, randomization 200 rheumatic diseases outpatients that will respond RAPID-3 (disease activity/disease severity), WHOQOL-BREF instrument (quality of life), DASS-21 instrument (depression and anxiety), IER-R (posttraumatic stress) |
A questionnaire locally developed to explore access to medical care and to medications, access to communication with their primary rheumatologist, and patients risk perception about COVID-19 disease
The instrument measures function, pain, and patient global estimate of status, with correspond to activity disease
The instrument measures the patient´s quality of life (4 dimensions: physics, phycological, social, and environment)
The instrument measures the presence of depression and anxiety
The instrument measures the presence of posttraumatic stress

What is the study measuring?
Primary Outcome Measures
Outcome Measure |
Measure Description |
Time Frame |
---|---|---|
Change in the pattern of the usual medical care among the rheumatic disease patients
Time Frame: At study inclusion (The first medical consultation posterior to open the external outpatient's service, post COVID-19 pandemic)
|
To determinate the proportion of the rheumatic disease patients affected in their usual medical care during the COVID-19 pandemic in our Institution with the COVID-19 survey (locally development)
|
At study inclusion (The first medical consultation posterior to open the external outpatient's service, post COVID-19 pandemic)
|
Secondary Outcome Measures
Outcome Measure |
Measure Description |
Time Frame |
---|---|---|
Change in the patient's activity disease
Time Frame: In the first medical consultation posterior to open the external outpatient's service (post COVID-19 pandemic) to 6 months follow-up
|
Change in the activity disease measured as RAPID-3 of the Rheumatic disease patients in a 6 months follow-up.
The results will express with a scale 0 to 30 a > number > disease activity
|
In the first medical consultation posterior to open the external outpatient's service (post COVID-19 pandemic) to 6 months follow-up
|
Change in the patient's activity disease measures by their rheumatologist
Time Frame: In the first medical consultation posterior to open the external outpatient's service (post COVID-19 pandemic) to 6 months follow-up
|
Change in the activity disease measured by their rheumatologist (4 questions) of the rheumatic disease patients in a 6 months follow-up.
The results will express with 3 categories (without activity, low activity, moderate activity, high activity)
|
In the first medical consultation posterior to open the external outpatient's service (post COVID-19 pandemic) to 6 months follow-up
|
Change in patient´s quality of life
Time Frame: In the first medical consultation posterior to open the external outpatient's service (post COVID-19 pandemic) to 6 months follow-up
|
Change in the quality of life measured as WHOQOL-BREF of the Rheumatic disease patients in a 6 months follow-up.
The results will express with a scale 0 to 100 a > number > quality of life
|
In the first medical consultation posterior to open the external outpatient's service (post COVID-19 pandemic) to 6 months follow-up
|
Change in patient´s depression and anxiety
Time Frame: In the first medical consultation posterior to open the external outpatient's service (post COVID-19 pandemic) to 6 months follow-up
|
Change in the psychopathology measured as DASS-21 instrument (depression and anxiety) of the Rheumatic disease patients in a 6 months follow-up.
The results will express with a scale 0 to 8 a cut of point > 8 suggests depression and stress presence, and > 5 suggests anxiety presence
|
In the first medical consultation posterior to open the external outpatient's service (post COVID-19 pandemic) to 6 months follow-up
|
Change in patient´s posttraumatic stress
Time Frame: In the first medical consultation posterior to open the external outpatient's service (post COVID-19 pandemic) to 6 months follow-up
|
Change in the psychopathology measured as IER-R (posttraumatic stress) of the Rheumatic disease patients in a 6 months follow-up.
The results will express with a scale 0 to 88 a cut of point > 24 would be significant
|
In the first medical consultation posterior to open the external outpatient's service (post COVID-19 pandemic) to 6 months follow-up
