В то же время в литературе недостаточно информации о клиническом течении COVID-19 при системной склеродермии (ССД) – системном аутоиммунном заболевании, сопровождающемся высокой смертностью.</p><p>Цель исследования – выявление особенностей коронавирусной болезни при ССД, а также факторов риска тяжелого течения COVID-19 и летального исхода.</p><sec><title>Материал и методы</title><p>Материал и методы. Проведен ретроспективный анализ данных пациентов с ССД. В анализируемую выборку включены больные из регистра лаборатории системного склероза ФГБНУ «Научно-исследовательский институт ревматологии им. В.А. Насоновой». Информацию о перенесенной новой коронавирусной инфекции получали путем телефонного опроса через 10 мес после начала пандемии. COVID-19 диагностировали в случае положительного результата полимеразной цепной реакции при исследовании мазков из полости рта/носоглотки, при наличии антител к SARS-CoV-2 и/или характерных симптомов и данных компьютерной томографии (КТ) легких.</p></sec><sec><title>Результаты и обсуждение</title><p>Результаты и обсуждение. COVID-19 перенесли 57 (52%) больных ССД. Медиана их возраста составила 58 [31; 79] лет. Преобладали женщины (n=48, 84%) с лимитированной формой ССД (n=37, 65%). У 15 (26%) больных имелась диффузная, у 4 (7%) – перекрестная (ССД-полимиозит и ССД-ревматоидный артрит) и у 1 (2%) – висцеральная форма ССД. Почти у 2/3 (74%) пациентов с COVID-19 ССД была ассоциирована с интерстициальным заболеванием легких (ИЗЛ), причем у 40% из них выявлено &gt;20% поражения легочной паренхимы. Все пациенты получали терапию низкими дозами преднизолона, 95% – иммуносупрессивную терапию, в половине случаев – микофенолата мофетил; ритуксимаб применяли у 40% больных. КТ органов грудной клетки проведена 51 (89%) пациенту. У 46 (90%) из них выявлена пневмония, вызванная новой коронавирусной инфекцией: КТ1 (до 25% поражения легких) – у 10 (20%), КТ2 (25–50% поражения) – у 21 (41%) и КТ3 (50–75% поражения) – у 15 (29%); в 5 (10%) случаях изменений при КТ не обнаружено. Течение вирусной инфекции легкой и средней степени тяжести отмечалось у 19 (33%) и 18 (32%) пациентов соответственно, тяжелое течение – у 20 (35%), в том числе с летальным исходом – у 12 (21%).</p></sec><sec><title>Заключение</title><p>Заключение. Пациенты с ССД, инфицированные SARS-CoV-2, подвержены риску тяжелого течения коронавирусной инфекции, что зачастую обусловлено ассоциацией основного заболевания с ИЗЛ, а также применением иммуносупрессивной терапии, в том числе генно-инженерных биологических препаратов.</p><p>Высокая частота сердечно-сосудистой и легочной коморбидной патологии, характерной для ССД, в случае развития COVID-19 может способствовать снижению эффективности терапии как основного заболевания, так и коронавирусной инфекции, в целом утяжеляя прогноз у таких больных.</p></sec></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="en"><p>Interest to the topic of coronavirus infection remains unabated. At the same time, there is insufficient information in the literature on the clinical course of COVID-19 in systemic sclerosis (SSc), a systemic autoimmune disease associated with high mortality.</p><sec><title>Objective</title><p>Objective: to identify the characteristics of coronavirus disease in SSc and risk factors for severe COVID-19 and death.</p></sec><sec><title>Material and methods</title><p>Material and methods. A retrospective analysis of data from patients with SSc was performed. The analyzed cohort included patients from the registry of the Systemic Sclerosis Laboratory of V.A. Nasonova Research Institute of Rheumatology. Information about the history of novel coronavirus infection was obtained by telephone interview 10 months after the outbreak of the pandemic. COVID-19 was diagnosed if there was a positive oral cavity/nasopharynx PCR swab, if antibodies to SARS-CoV-2 were present and/or characteristic symptoms and computed tomography (CT) changes in the lungs were present.</p></sec><sec><title>Results and discussion</title><p>Results and discussion. COVID-19 was diagnosed in 57 (52%) patients with SSc. Their median age was 58 [31; 79] years. The majority were women (n=48, 84%) with a limited form of SSc (n=37, 65%). Fifteen (26%) patients had diffuse, 4 (7%) had overlapping (SSc-polymyositis and SSc-rheumatoid arthritis) and 1 (2%) had visceral SSc. Almost 2/3 (74%) of patients with COVID-19 had SSc associated with interstitial lung disease (ILD), with 40% of them having &gt;20% lung parenchymal involvement.</p><p>All patients received low-dose prednisone therapy, 95% received immunosuppressive therapy and in half of the cases mycophenolate mofetil; rituximab was used in 40% of patients.</p><p>Chest CT scan was performed in 51 (89%) patients. Pneumonia caused by the new coronavirus infection was detected in 46 (90%) of them: CT1 (up to 25% lung involvement) – in 10 (20%), CT2 (25–50% involvement) – in 21 (41%) and CT3 (50–75% involvement) – in 15 (29%); in 5 (10%) cases no changes were detected on CT.</p><p>Mild and moderate course of the viral infection was observed in 19 (33%) and 18 (32%) patients respectively, severe infection – in 20 (35%), including fatal cases in 12 (21%).</p></sec><sec><title>Conclusion</title><p>Conclusion. Patients with SSc infected with SARS-CoV-2 are at risk of severe coronavirus infection, often due to the association of the underlying disease with ILD and the use of immunosuppressive therapy, including biologic disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs. In case of COVID-19 development the high incidence of cardiovascular and pulmonary comorbidities that characterize SSc may contribute to a decrease in the efficacy of therapy for both the underlying disease and coronavirus infection, generally worsening the prognosis in these patients.</p></sec></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>системная склеродермия</kwd><kwd>новая коронавирусная инфекция</kwd><kwd>факторы риска</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>systemic sclerosis</kwd><kwd>new coronavirus infection</kwd><kwd>risk factor</kwd></kwd-group><funding-group><funding-statement xml:lang="ru">Исследование не имело спонсорской поддержки.</funding-statement><funding-statement xml:lang="en">The investigation has not been sponsored.</funding-statement></funding-group></article-meta></front><back><ref-list><title>References</title><ref id="cit1"><label>1</label><citation-alternatives><mixed-citation xml:lang="ru">World Health Organization Coronavirus Situation Report. 7 September 2021 https:// www.who.int/publications/m/item/weeklyepidemiological-update-on-covid-19-7-september-2021</mixed-citation><mixed-citation xml:lang="en">World Health Organization Coronavirus Situation Report. 7 September 2021 https:// www.who.int/publications/m/item/weeklyepidemiological-update-on-covid-19-7-september-2021</mixed-citation></citation-alternatives></ref><ref id="cit2"><label>2</label><citation-alternatives><mixed-citation xml:lang="ru">https://gogov.ru›covid-19/world</mixed-citation><mixed-citation xml:lang="en">https://gogov.ru›covid-19/world</mixed-citation></citation-alternatives></ref><ref id="cit3"><label>3</label><citation-alternatives><mixed-citation xml:lang="ru">https://coronavirus-monitor.info/country/russia/</mixed-citation><mixed-citation xml:lang="en">https://coronavirus-monitor.info/country/russia/</mixed-citation></citation-alternatives></ref><ref id="cit4"><label>4</label><citation-alternatives><mixed-citation xml:lang="ru">Brito-Zeron P, Sisу-Almirall A, FloresChavez A, et al.
