AB  - OBJECTIVE: To assess the longer term impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the 
      self-reported physical and mental health of people with inflammatory rheumatic 
      diseases (IRDs). METHODS: Two thousand twenty-four patients with IRDs were 
      randomly selected from electronic health records. Survey invitations were sent 
      (August 2021 coinciding with relaxation of UK COVID-19 restrictions) using SMS 
      and postal approaches. Self-reported data included demographics, shielding status 
      and physical (MSK-HQ) and mental health (PHQ8 and GAD7). RESULTS: Six hundred 
      thirty-nine people completed the survey (mean (SD) age 64.5 (13.1) years, 384 
      (60%) female). Moderate/severe impact of the pandemic on physical and mental 
      health was reported by 250 (41%) and 241 (39%) respectively. One hundred 
      seventy-two (29%) reported moderate/severe depression (PHQ8 >/= 10) and 135 (22%) 
      moderate/severe anxiety (GAD7 >/= 10). Females reported greater impacts of the 
      pandemic on physical health (44% vs 34%), mental health (44% vs 34%), arthritis 
      symptoms (49% vs 36%) and lifestyle factors (weight gain and reduced exercise and 
      physical activity) than males. The physical and mental impacts were less in 
      people with RA compared with other IRDs. Physical health impacts did not differ 
      between age groups, but younger patients reported greater impacts on mental 
      health. CONCLUSION: The COVID-19 pandemic has had a significant impact on the 
      physical and mental health of people with IRDs. These effects were greatest in 
      females. Recovery needs to address the negative impact of the pandemic on 
      lifestyle factors to minimise the long-term impacts for people with IRDs. Key 
      Points * The pandemic had a significant impact on long term physical and mental 
      health in almost 40% of people with IRDs. * The impact of the pandemic was 
      greater in women for physical health, mental health and arthritis symptoms. * 
      Many people reported negative pandemic impacts on lifestyle factors including 
      weight and physical activity.
