  • 1 PROMIS CAT are scored by T score from 0 to 100 (higher signifies more of the measured trait), with a score of 50 corresponding to the general population mean.

  • 2 SF-36 subscales are scored from 0 to 100 (higher signifies better health-related quality of life). For the PCS and MCS, a score of 50 is equivalent to the general population mean.

  • 3 LupusQoL domains are scored from 0 to 100 (higher signifies better health-related quality of life).

  • * n = 203 because of missing data.

  • ** n = 180, remaining participants replied “Not Applicable.” PROMIS: Patient Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System; CAT: computerized adaptive tests; PRO: patient-reported outcome; min: minimum; max: maximum; SF-36: Medical Outcomes Study Short Form-36; PCS: physical component summary; MCS: mental component summary.
