LupusQOL Definition The LupusQOL, derived from SLE patients, is a 34-item SLE-specific HRQOL measure developed in the UK. It has eight domains: physical health, pain, planning, intimate relationships, burden to others, emotional health, body image and fatigue and was evaluated in over 600 outpatients. It has good internal reliability, test-retest reliability, concurrent validity with the SF-36 and discriminant validity for different levels of disease activity and damage. As yet, there is no sensitivity to change data. It has been crossculturally adapted and evaluated for use in the United States and the Chinese version is being evaluated. Translation into other languages is also underway.
