Association between perceived level of stress, clinical characteristics and psychopathological symptoms in women with systemic lupus erythematosus.

CONCLUSIONS: The psychopathological manifestations in SLE appeared to be influenced by perceived stress, disease duration, disease activity and cumulative organ damage. In turn, perceived stress was associated with disease severity. This knowledge may contribute to a more comprehensive perspective of these manifestations in the SLE population in the clinical setting. PMID: 29352848 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
