Article Synopsis
- - The study aimed to evaluate work limitations in patients with systemic vasculitis (SV), focusing on how the disease affects physical and mental functioning leading to disability.
- - Out of 103 participants with varying types of SV, 21% were found to be work disabled due to the disease, and these individuals often had lower education levels and higher disease severity.
- - Those working experienced an average productivity loss of 8.2%, which was significantly linked to their reported disability and pain levels.
