Evidenzgenerierung durch nationale und globale Netzwerke
Die SARS-CoV-2 Pandemie hat Patienten mit rheumatologischen Erkrankungen stark verunsichert, da unklar ist, ob sie aufgrund ihrer immunvermittelten Erkrankung oder ihrer immun-modulierenden Therapie besonders gefährdet sind, bei einer COVID-19 Erkrankung einen schweren Verlauf zu erleiden.
Auch für die behandelnden Rheumatologen war diese Situation schwierig, da abgewogen werden musste, zwischen dem Risiko einer aufflammenden Erkrankung mit all ihren negativen Folgen für den Patienten und dem Risiko eines möglicherweise zu stark geschwächten Immunsystems. Therapieentscheidungen mussten ohne vergleichbare Erfahrungswerte und nicht Daten basiert erfolgen.
Angesichts dieser Situation hat sich die Arbeitsgruppe Pharmakoepidemiologie am Aufbau des deutschen und des europäischen COVID-19-Registers beteiligt, in die Patienten mit entzündlich-rheumatischer Erkrankung und einer SARS-CoV-2-Infektion eingeschlossen werden. Stand August 2020 sind 2.561 Patienten im europäischen (4293 global) und 373 Patienten im deutschen Register erfasst. Durch Mitwirkung in den Steuerungsgruppen und der Datenauswertung innerhalb der Register ist der Programmbereich Epidemiologie wesentlich an der Erforschung neuer Erkenntnisse über die besondere Situation von Patienten mit Autoimmunerkrankungen unter Immunsuppression beteiligt.
Die Arbeitsgruppe Kinderrheumatologie und Versorgungsforschung hat die Kerndokumentation rheumakranker Kinder und Jugendlicher um zwei Zusatzmodule zur Erfassung von SARS-CoV-2-Infektionen und des SARS-CoV-2-assoziierten Hyperinflammationssyndroms (MIS C für „multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children“) erweitert. Im August waren bundesweit 15 Kinder mit rheumatischen Grunderkrankungen und SARS-CoV-2-Infektionen sowie 4 mit MIS-C gemeldet. Weitere 4 Fälle mit SARS-CoV-2-Infektionen wurden über das BiKeR-Register und das Register der Deutschen Gesellschaft für pädiatrische Infektiologie erfasst, mit denen kooperiert wird. Gemeinsam mit den Universitäten Potsdam und Ulm hat das DRFZ darüber hinaus das Forschungsprojekt Kick Covid eingeworben, in dem langfristige Auswirkungen der COVID-19-Pandemie auf das Wohlbefinden und die Gesundheitsversorgung von Kindern mit chronischen Krankheiten, die mit erhöhtem Risiko für schwere COVID-19 Verläufe einhergehen, und ihren Familien analysiert wird.
