β¦ Synopsis
We examined the relationship of socioeconomic status to health status, as determined by the Arthritis Impact Measurement Scales, in 78 systemic lupus erythematosus patients who had been entered into a prospective study. After controlling for age, disease duration, and disease severity, a significant relationship between socioeconomic status and outcome was not demonstrated. All study subjects had health insurance for medical services. The results have potential implications for health care policy.
