The aim of this study was to analyse whether the period of physical inactivity during COVID-19 is an influential factor on health-related quality of life and foot pain in patients with RA. Methods: 162 patients with foot pain and RA, recruited from the Hospital Virgen de las Nieves, Granada (Spain) were included. Data was collected during two different periods: January - December 2018 in person and June - September 2021 by phone. Patients were asked to complete the Spanish adapted version of the 12-Item Short Form Survey (SF-12) and the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS). Results: The results from the SF-12 questionnaires were divided between its two subscales (i.e., mental, and physical component). The physical component shows an improvement between 2018 and 2021, from 32.05in 2018–35.18 in 2021 (p < 0.05). The opposite happened with the mental component, showing a dete- rioration, from 39.69 in 2018–34.48 in 2021 (p < 0.05). Regarding pain, VAS shows higher levels of pain with statistically significant differences, both in general pain (from 6 in 2018–7 in 2012) and in foot pain (from 5 to 7), (p < 0.05). Conclusion: Mental quality of life and pain, both general and foot pain, are influenced by the period of physical inactivity during COVID-19. 2023-10-05T06:59:18Z 2023-10-05T06:59:18Z 2023-07-21 journal article Andres Reinoso-Cobo, Ana-Belen Ortega-Avila, Consolacion Pineda-Galan, Raquel Alabau-Dasi, Manuela Exposito-Ruiz, George Banwell, Laura Ramos-Petersen, Gabriel Gijon-Nogueron, Follow-up of health-related quality of life and pain in a cohort of patients with rheumatoid arthritis before and after COVID-19, Foot and Ankle Surgery, Volume 29, Issue 8,2023, Pages 616-620.
