Early vs Deferred Non–Messenger RNA COVID-19 Vaccination Among Chinese Patients With a History of Inactive Uveitis
JAMA network open(2023)
摘要
Importance Improper host response to COVID-19 vaccines could trigger immune-mediated adverse events. The question remains whether COVID-19 vaccination should be postponed until complete remission in patients with uveitis, a preexisting immune-related condition. Objective To compare recommendations for early and deferred COVID-19 vaccination with respect to uveitis outcomes. Design, Setting, and Participants This open-label, randomized clinical trial at a large, specialized teaching center for uveitis care in China enrolled unvaccinated patients with inactive uveitis between August 10, 2021, and February 22, 2022, with follow-up to June 6, 2022. Interventions Participants were randomly assigned to receive recommendation for early or deferred COVID-19 vaccination after complete remission of uveitis. Non–messenger RNA (non-mRNA) COVID-19 vaccines were available in China during the trial. Main Outcomes and Measures The primary outcome was the time to symptomatic uveitis worsening during 3 months of follow-up. Secondary outcomes included uveitis activity and best-corrected visual acuity at 3 months. Results Of the 543 participants (304 women [56.0%]; median age, 35 [IQR, 26-49] years), 262 were recommended for early vaccination and 281 for deferred vaccination. By month 3, 109 patients (41.6%) in the early group had been vaccinated compared with 14 (5.0%) in the deferred recommendation group. In the intention-to-treat population, the time to symptomatic uveitis worsening was shorter in the early group than in the deferred group (hazard ratio, 1.68 [95% CI, 1.09-2.59]; P = .01 by log-rank test). Changes in anterior chamber cells, vitreous haze, and best-corrected visual acuity from baseline to month 3 appeared similar in the 2 groups in the evaluable population after the month 3 in-person visit. Conclusions and Relevance In this randomized clinical trial of patients with inactive uveitis, recommendation for early non-mRNA COVID-19 vaccination resulted in a higher incidence of self-reported symptomatic uveitis worsening with possible reporting bias compared with recommendation for deferred vaccination, but no adverse effects were observed in disease and visual prognosis at 3 months. These findings would be useful to guide the individual timing choices of non-mRNA COVID-19 vaccination in this clinically vulnerable population.
