In the first episode of the European Alliance of Associations for Rheumatology (EULAR) 2021 Virtual Congress series, we spoke with co-authors Jeffrey Sparks, MD, and Zachary Wallace, MD, about their research – the association between disease-modifying antirheumatic drug (DMARD) use and COVID-19 outcomes in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) – conducted on behalf of the COVID-19 Global Rheumatology Alliance. The study was presented by Dr Sparks and Dr Wallace at the EULAR 2021 meeting and has been published in BMJ.
