This study had some limitations, such as the difficulty in data collection, due to medical exhaustion, the increased care load in the health centers selected to carry out the study, constant changes in the treatment paradigm, therefore, the number of patients included is low compared to those affected by COVID-19 in Chile. Therefore, we did not perform any further association analysis, as it would not reflect the reality of what happened. It is evident that the median number of symptoms is higher than that reported in other studies. This may be because the patients with more days of symptoms were those who attended the health centers and were hospitalized, and these were the patients who were included in the study. the study. It is possible that there is an underreporting of mortality due to patients who did not consult the emergency services, and this would explain the low mortality rate with respect to the global data. In Chilean rheumatic patients, the symptoms of COVID-19 were the classic symptoms described for the disease, a low percentage manifested arthralgia and no activation of the rheumatic disease was reported. There is evidence of less use of corticosteroids and greater use of biological DMARDs in rheumatic patients from the rest of the world compared to Chilean patients, possibly related to accessibility due to economic factors and health policies in each region. Regarding specific treatment for COVID-19, some patients were treated with therapies that were initially believed to work, but later evidence showed that they did not, such as hydroxychloroquine or azithromycin. Only one patient received tocilizumab, probably at the time of registration (early in the pandemic). If we compare the data of patients with rheumatic disease vs the total number of patients with COVID-19 in Chile for the dates of data collection, a higher percentage of hospitalization is evidenced for patients with rheumatic disease 64% vs 9.3%, in relation to mortality are similar 3% vs 2.4%, the reason for the greater number of patients requiring hospitalization may be due to what was previously mentioned and is that only patients who consulted the emergency room were included in the study, and that therefore it is understood they had more severe symptoms of COVID-19. It is not mentioned if the patients were vaccinated because when the data collection began it was not yet available, and Chile started the vaccination process in patients with comorbidities in February 2021, and after that very few patients were registered.
