Brief Summary:
This study is a continuing follow-up of patients with systemic lupus erythematosus SLE and control subjects enrolled in the Carolina Lupus Study and the University of North Carolina UNC Lupus Nephritis Study SLE is a severe chronic disabling autoimmune disease that significantly affects health and quality of life The disease most often affects young to middle-aged adults and therefore can also affect work and disability There is currently little information on work-related disability related to SLE The goals of the current study are to
Determine health and work status of patients and controls in the Carolina Lupus Study and the UNC Lupus Nephritis Study
Develop and test methods for obtaining disease data from university- and community-based physicians in the study area
Examine the associations between sociodemographic work-related factors disease damage and work disability among SLE patients and controls and
Assess the role of demographic and socioeconomic factors psychosocial attributes and potentially modifiable behavior or environmental factors eg smoking occupational exposures medication compliance in disease damage measures and in the increased severity of disease among African-American patients
Patients and control subjects enrolled in the Carolina Lupus Study and the University of North Carolina Lupus Nephritis Study are eligible for this protocol
Subjects will participate in a 30-minute telephone interview that includes questions related to their current health status medical care utilization work and disability issues psychosocial attributes eg helplessness social support and changes in environmental exposures since the previous follow-up interview in 2001 With the patients permission disease damaged will be assessed using a standardized form to be completed by the patients physician or using information obtained from the patients medical record

Detailed Description:
Systemic lupus erythematosus SLE is a severe chronic disabling autoimmune disease that significantly affects health status and quality of life Since the disease occurs most often in young to middle-aged adults SLE can also affect work and disability However there is currently little information on work-related disability from longitudinal population-based studies of SLE
The Carolina Lupus Study is a large 265 cases 355 controls case-control study of SLE in eastern North Carolina and South Carolina Patients were recently diagnosed median time from diagnosis to enrollment was 13 months and were referred from university and community rheumatologists approximately 50 from each source Controls were selected using a population-based sampling method state drivers license registries A standardized in-person interview was conducted that included demographic reproductive and occupational histories and a blood sample was collected from 92 of cases and 85 of controls Approximately 60 of the study patients n150 are African-Americans The Carolina Lupus Study cohort provides an opportunity to examine disability and disease severity measures in a population-based sample of SLE patients diagnosed within a relatively short period 1995-1999
Participants were enrolled into the Carolina Lupus Study between February 1997 and July 1999 We conducted two telephone contacts with patients and one telephone contact with controls in a follow-up study completed in 2001 Funding for the proposed follow-up is provided by The National Institute of Arthritis and Musculoskeletal Diseases NIAMS NIH Multidisciplinary Clinical Research Center for Rheumatologic Diseases in African Americans Project C - Genetic and environmental influences on the development and progression of lupus nephritis Patient contact will follow an introductory letter that describes the proposed follow-up study interviews which are planned to begin in late 2003 This letter provides participants the opportunity via a toll-free phone number to decline further contact about this study The 30-minute telephone interview will cover hospitalizations current health status work and disability issues and changes in exposures since the 2001 follow-up interview
Controls will not be contacted for this years follow-up but may be contacted during subsequent years A total of 101 cases from the UNC Lupus Nephritis Study will also be included in this follow-up Disease damage will be assessed using the Systemic Lupus International Collaborating Clinics SLICC American College of Rheumatology ACR Damage Index a standardized and validated instrument that is completed by the patients physician Written consent will be obtained before any information is obtained from the patients physician or medical record We will seek death certificates for patients and controls who have died in order to obtain cause of death information
