Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Primary outcome: modification of disease activity status Disease activity will be assessed using specific instruments and validated for each DRIM. In order to determine the disease activity before the infection by COVID-19, a retrospective evaluation will be carried out through medical record review considering the medical visit made up to three months before the infection. Disease activity will also be assessed on inclusion and on all visits scheduled by the study.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Evolution for ARDS: yes or no o Outcome after ARDS: complete improvement, sequelae with pulmonary fibrosis, death Laboratory changes: leukopenia, lymphocytopenia, elevated CRP, elevated DHL (yes or no) o Change in dose of medication used: yes or noo Need to discontinue medication: yes or no Change in therapeutic regimen: yes or no; type of change
