Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to assess the clinical complexity of chronic diseases like systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and ANCA-associated vasculitis (AAV) using the INTERMED Self-Assessment questionnaire (IMSA) to identify key contributing factors.
- A total of 81 patients were evaluated through various questionnaires measuring biopsychosocial complexity, quality of life, mental state, and acceptance of illness.
- The findings revealed that for SLE patients, lower mental health-related quality of life predicted higher clinical complexity, whereas in AAV patients, both low physical and mental health-related quality of life, along with depressive symptoms, were significant predictors of clinical complexity.
