Clinical characteristics and health related quality of life (HRQoL) in Egyptian patients with systemic lupus erythematosus

ConclusionsSLE is a condition associated with high unmet need and considerable burden to patients. To our knowledge, no previous study has systematically examined the clinical features as well as HRQoL of SLE patients in Sharkia Governorate, Eastern Egypt. HRQoL is a multidimensional concept that encompasses physical, emotional and social components associated with SLE manifestations.
