Results from LimitationRecognizer: We detected the following sentences addressing limitations in the study:The results of our study should be interpreted considering limitations. First, we have to take into account the observational nature of the study and that our patients were treated at a single center. This, associated with the fact that data was recorded during routine consultations, that it is an environment with heavy workload, makes easier the possibility of incomplete and not recoverable information. Another limitation is the difficulty to identify patients. Of the patients who did not require admission, a third contacted the rheumatology service to report the disease, and the other cases were detected through the discharge parts by COVID-19 of their primary care physician. For sure, elderly or housewives who have not contacted us are missing, and may have patient selection biases between those admitted and not admitted, however this has been solved adjusting for confounders in multivariate analysis. PCR test should be required for main outcome definition. However, in all admissions during this period, almost 20% of them did not have PCR performed due to a lack of available tests or extreme health care overload. Nevertheless, all cases included were carefully reviewed being clinically compatible and managed as COVID-19. Finally, we have not been able to study if ethnic differences have a role in the severity COVID-19, but doctors believe that there are a large number of infected people from some groups that for economic or cultural reasons tend to share a home with more p...
