Mental health conditions (MHCs) are prevalent among patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) across age groups. However, it remains unclear whether MHCs are associated with an increased risk of SLE or influence the subsequent outcomes of the disease.
Liu X et al.1 recently published an article in Rheumatology (Oxford) sharing a systematic review and meta-analysis to estimate the pooled prevalence of MHCs in patients with SLE and their association with risk and outcomes of the disease. Here, we summarize their key findings.
