Patients with a lupus low disease activity state (LLDAS) irrespective of organ damage were significantly more likely to have favourable health-related quality of life, pain, fatigue, and overall health experience.
This retrospective, observational cohort study by Parodis, et al. followed patients with SLE with a median follow-up time of 8.5 years. Linear mixed-effects regression models were used to assess associations between clinical measures and patient-reported outcomes.
