41.6% of REUMAVID participants were members of patient organizations. Compared to non-members, members received more information during the onset of the COVID pandemic (73.1% vs 40.5% of non-members), as well as greater emotional or psychological support (21.6% vs 9.5% of non-members). Finally, members had better well-being and a lower risk of anxiety.
These data are published in the journal Clinical and Experimental Rheumatology.
