Hot Topic: DMARD Interruptions

DMARD interruptions in patients with rheumatic diseases increased more than 80% between December 2020 and May 2021, according to study findings published in December 2021.

Healio spoke with Alexis R. Ogdie-Beatty, MD, MSCE, rheumatologist and associate professor of medicine at the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania, about how this impacted patients with PsA early and later in the COVID-19 pandemic, treatment interruptions caused by COVID vaccination and the "really high" vaccination rates in her practice.
