Assessing the associations between immunosuppressant use and COVID-19 severity in patients with autoimmune hepatitis

Prednisone exposure was negatively associated, and statistically significant IS interactions were positively associated with testing positive for SARS-CoV-2. Further work involves determining the impact of vaccinations and advances in COVID-19 treatment on outcomes in this population.

Abstract

Prednisone exposure was negatively associated, and statistically significant IS interactions were positively associated with testing positive for SARS-CoV-2. Further work involves determining the impact of vaccinations and advances in COVID-19 treatment on outcomes in this population.
