ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVES:
To evaluate the musculoskeletal (MSK) symptoms experienced by SLE patients and determine how those symptoms relate to their health-related quality of life (HRQoL). MATERIALS ANDMETHODS:
This is a cross-sectional study that was carried out on 103 adult SLE patients. sociodemographic, clinical, and therapeutic data were recruited. They were asked to complete the following Nordic Musculoskeletal, Short-Form McGill Pain, and Lupus QoL Questionnaires.RESULTS:
The mean age was 30.81 ± 9.44 years. There was a total of 86 females and 17 males (F M51). Almost all the patients reported MSK symptoms (96.1%). The maximum number of patients reported pain in the right and left wrist and hand (64.1%, 63.1%, respectively). One-fourth (25.2%) described at least five bodily sites of MSK symptoms, while 70.9% had more than five sites of MSK symptoms. Most of the patients described the pain as discomforting (40.8%). Patients with MSK symptoms scored significantly worse in all domains. In addition, the QoL scores of patients with more than 5 body sites of MSK symptoms were significantly lower than those of patients with fewer than 5 sites of MSK symptoms.CONCLUSION:
SLE patients have a high MSK burden, and MSK symptoms have a negative impact on HRQoL in these patients.Palavras-chave
