Abstract

With the continuous development and progress in medical technology, the survival time of patients with systemic lupus erythematosus has been increasing, and the quality of life has become an important indicator in evaluation of clinical treatment and care of systemic lupus erythematosus. The current situation of quality of life in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus is reviewed in this paper, and the effects of disease-related factors (disease activity, pain and fatigue), individual factors (age, gender, educational background and income), psychological status and social support on quality of life are analysed.
