Clinical Trial Description

Despite significant advances in recent decades, systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is still burdened by irreversible organ damage and a notable impact on health-related quality of life (HRQoL). Improving the quality of life is a pivotal goal in the management of SLE. According to the Treat to Target (T2T) recommendations for SLE management, particular attention needs to be paid to the factors that negatively influence HRQoL such as fatigue, pain and depression. Recent epidemiological studies demonstrate that prolonged remission is an achievable target in SLE patients and is clearly associated with better outcomes in terms of damage accrual. Such findings also raise questions about the possible impact of remission on HRQoL. In a retrospective study, Patients in prolonged remission reported significantly better HRQoL as assessed by the 36-Item Short-Form Health Survey (SF36) and Lupus PRO questionnaire. Methodology in details L: 70 women with SLE will be included in this study from the outpatient clinic. in Fayoum University hospital It will be conducted in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Fayoum University Maternity Hospital, Egypt.
