Quality of life in patients with myositis is associated with functional capacity, body composition, and disease activity —Baseline data from a randomized controlled trial
ConclusionAll measures of functional capacity were positively related to the SF-36 physical component summary score, indicating higher functional capacity positively affects quality of life in patients with myositis. Health assessment questionnaire and patient global damage scores demonstrated the strongest correlations with SF-36 physical component summary scores, further supporting these patient-reported outcomes as viable monitoring tools in patients with myositis.
