All aggregated groups of patients with AI/IMID showed higher rates of COVID-19, and analyses of the different groups confirmed increased prevalence in all diagnostic groups but SLE, where it was remarkably lower than those in the other groups and similar to that in the reference population (table 1 and figure 1 ). Our systematic approach identified a significant number of patients with different rheumatic conditions and immunomodulatory therapies with SARS-CoV-2 PCR-confirmed diagnosis that allowed us to describe the prevalence of hospital COVID-19 and to identify differences between diagnostic and therapeutic groups. ./cache/cord-274494-heu6rmbt.txt ./txt/cord-274494-heu6rmbt.txt
