Birmingham vasculitis activity score and the short form 36-item health survey predict current depressive disorders in patients with antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody-associated vasculitis during the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic.

We verified that SF-36 MCS and PCS could predict current depressive disorders, regardless of the pandemic, and furthermore, we demonstrated for the first time that BVAS was a predictor of current depressive disorders in patients with AAV during the pandemic unlike those before the pandemic.
