"Background Patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and systemic sclerosis (SSc), have to cope with lifelong disease manifestation and impaired physical function. Limited physical activities along the disease will affect their quality of life (QoL). The QoL is recognized as an important factor of treatment strategy. This study aims to compare the quality of life of patient with SLE and SSc. Method This study was a cross-sectional study and conducted in rheumatology outpatient clinic of Hasan Sadikin Hospital Bandung, Indonesia from January 2015 until March 2017. The respondents were patients diagnosed as SLE and SSc who regularly visit rheumatology outpatient clinic. Respondents were asked to complete the Short Form-36 (SF-36). Baseline characteristics, including age, gender, and duration of disease, were collected during the visit. The Mann-Whitney U test was used to analyze the comparison. Result There were 242 patients who completed the SF-36 questionnaires, consisted of 193 SLE patients and 49 SSc patients. SLE patients were slightly younger and had a longer duration of disease compared to SSc. The SF-36 Physical Component Summary (PCS) score was significantly higher on SLE patients (40.6 vs 40.4, p = 0.0001), but the mean of Mental Component Summary (MCS) score was similar among both diseases. Conclusion Physical functioning aspect on quality of life is better in SLE patients compared to SSc patients. However, mental aspect for both diseases are relatively similar."

"Background : The aim of the study is to provide an insight about mean platelet volume (MPV) value in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) with and without thrombocytopenia patient. MPV wa expected to be used to determine the cause thrombocytopenia in lupus, so the patient could be treated appropriately. Method: The study design was descriptive categoric, and the data were obtained by using cross-sectional method from patient’s medical record and lab examination result in the period from January 1st 2016 – January 31st 2018. The sampling method are done using total sampling. The inclusion criteria of this study were SLE patients which MPV and platelet count had been examined at the same time, the data used is data that was first discovered in the period of the study. The exclusion criteria were incomplete medical record data, patient with thrombocytosis, and SLE with comorbidity such as thrombotic disease (ischemic stroke and deep vein thrombosis), other high inflammatory overlap diseases (such as rheumatoid arthritis and inflammatory bowel disease), and infection. Result : From 75 patients that match with the inclusion criteria, all patients were female and based on the age of diagnosis, most patients were in age group of 25-34 years old (41,33%). Based on the lab results, group with normal platelet count have 53 data of normal MPV and 12 data of high MPV, while group with thrombocytopenia have 6 data of normal MPV and 4 data of high MPV. Conclusion : Group with normal MPV value and normal platelet count has the largest proportion, while the group with thrombocytopenia in lupus and high MPV value has the lowest proportion."

"Background. Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) is an Autoimmune inflammatory disease that is systemic and chronic inflammation with heterogeneous of history, clinical manifestations, and prognosis. The disease activity of SLE has been proven as a predictor of organ damage and death by evidenced of inflammatory markers involved in this disease. Neutrophil to Lymphocyte Ratio (NLR) is useful for estimating the activity of autoimmune disease and inflammation that easily obtained from blood test and low cost and measurable as new biomarker to assess inflammatory response or activity of SLE. This study aimed to determine the relationship between NRL and Disease Activity based on Mex-SLEDAI in patients SLE. Methods. This study is an analytic study with cross sectional design. It started from November 2016 until March 2017. Mex-SLEDAI and blood sampling used in this study. Result. Total sample in this study is 54 patients with median age was 28.5 years, with mostly female (85,2%). Result analysis with positive correlation between NLR with disease activity on SLE (r=0.399 p=0.003 n=54), thus the Scatter plot shows there is a correlation between NRL with Mex-SLEDAI. Conclusion. Positive correlation between NLR and disease activity of the SLE, the higher of the disease activity/Mex-SLEDAI will be followed by the increase of NLR."

"Background: Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE), an autoimmune disease, can cause damage and impairment in the nervous system. Patients who had any manifestation of neurology can be classified as patients with Neuropsychiatric Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (NPSLE). One of the most frequent NPSLE manifestation is anxiety disorder. The presence of anxiety disorder is believed to be correlated with their ability to carry out daily activities. This study aims to see the correlation between anxiety disorder and quality of life (QOL) in patients with SLE. Method: an analitic cross-sectional study was done. The data were collected by distributing validated questionnaires to patients diagnosed with SLE in the outpatient clinic of dr. Hasan Sadikin General Hospital. Quality of life and anxiety disorder was measured using Short From-36 (SF-36) and Zung Self-Rating Anxiety Scale (Zung-SAS), respectively. Normality test was done before correlating the variables using Pearson method. Result: Forty-six SLE patients fitted with the inclusion criteria were participated in the study. The assessment using Zung-SAS showed that 9 (19.56%) correspondents had mild–moderate anxiety, and 1 (2.17%) had severe anxiety. The analysis of SF-36 showed the means of Physical Component Summary (PCS) and Mental Component Summary (MCS) which were 45.18 ± 8.23 and 47.11± 9.78, in order. The correlation test of Zung-SAS with PCS and MCS showed the result of r= -0.651 (p < 0,01) and -0.654 (p < 0,01), respectively. Conclusion: There is a significant negative correlation between anxiety disorder and QOL in patients with SLE. The result of this study showed that the high degree of ones anxiety was in a parallel line with their low level of QOL, so it is important to do an early detection and prevention of anxiety disorder in SLE patients."
