Disease activity and damage are not associated with increased levels of fatigue in systemic lupus erythematosus patients from a multiethnic cohort: LXVII

Abstract

The presence of pain, abnormal illness-related behaviors, helplessness, and constitutional manifestations were associated with increased levels of fatigue. However, SLE-specific measures, such as disease activity and damage, were not. Interventions aimed at decreasing fatigue need to take into account these findings.
