When transitioning to biological therapy, subcutaneous administration should be considered to limit patient contact with the healthcare facility.
Selective switching from intravenous infliximab to subcutaneous anti-TNF is not recommended as it may increase the risk of relapse.
If the patient is in contact with a COVID-19 person, withdrawal of anti-TNF therapy for 2 weeks should be considered.
In the age group of 44-60 years, 47% of men and 66% of women rated their own health as "good" (p<0.05). A feature of the self-assessment of health of the respondents of this age group was higher levels of subjective assessment of health in women compared to men: about 2% of women subjectively assessed their own health as "excellent"; the proportion of women who rated their health as "mediocre" was two times less compared to men (32% versus 17%; p<0.05).
In the group of older people (over 61 years of age), gender characteristics of the distribution of self-assessment of health by respondents were also established. Thus, half of the men surveyed rated their own health as “good”, which was three times more than women (53% versus 18%, p<0.01). In women, on the contrary, the share of those who rated their own health as “mediocre” was 17% higher. Almost every fifth woman of this age considers her own health to be “bad”, while not a single man gave such an assessment. High health scores (“excellent” and “very good”) were absent for both men and women.
Анализируя субъективную оценку здоровья студенческой молодежью (в возрасте до 25 лет) нами было установлено следующее: подавляющее большинство респондентов независимо от пола оценили собственное здоровье как «хорошо» и «очень хорошо». Критерий оценки «отлично» здоровья отмечали почти половина парней и каждая пятая девушка. Около 2% парней и 3% девушек отметили, что имеют «отличное» здоровье. Критерии оценки здоровья «посредственное» и «плохое» у ребят практически не отличались. Так, «посредственное» здоровье отмечено у 15% парней и у 14% девушек; «плохое» – у 2% парней и у 2% девушек.
