Depressed Symptomatology Persists over Time in the Majority of Systemic Lupus Erythematosus Patients and Is Independent of Disease Activity
Background/Purpose: Depression is a prevalent (24-30%) and significant comorbidity in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) (1). As the American College of Rheumatology (ACR) classifies…Abstract Number: 1292 • ACR Convergence 2020
Frequency and Predictors of Influenza Vaccine Hesitancy in Systemic Autoimmune Rheumatic Diseases
Background/Purpose: Patients with systemic autoimmune rheumatic diseases (SARDs) benefit from getting annual inactivated influenza vaccine (IIV). However, vaccine uptake among SARDs is suboptimal. The delay…Abstract Number: 1293 • ACR Convergence 2020
Factors Associated with Early Hospital Readmission in Systemic Lupus Erythematosus: Data from National Readmission Database
Background/Purpose: Early hospital readmission is a major healthcare burden. Studies evaluating factors associated with readmissions in rheumatic diseases are sparse. Our aim was to use…Abstract Number: 1294 • ACR Convergence 2020
Prediction of Damage in SLE Using Unbiased Analysis of Large Datasets
Background/Purpose: A key goal of treatment of SLE is the prevention of irreversible organ damage. The ability to identify patients at increased risk for damage…Abstract Number: 1295 • ACR Convergence 2020
Disease Activity and Mental Health in SLE Patients: A Cross-section Study with Self-Assessments Based on Smart System of Disease Management (SSDM) Mobile Tools
