🌍 This month in our #1Month1Study campaign, we highlight our “Living with systemic lupus erythematosus in 2020: a European patient survey”, published in Lupus Science & Medicine.

This large-scale study, conducted by Lupus Europe was led by Alain Cornet, Jeanette Andersen, Kirsi Myllys, Angela Edwards with the incredible support of Prof. Laurent Arnaud. The study analysed data from 4,375 patients across 35 European countries, providing one of the most comprehensive overviews of the burden of SLE in Europe from the patient perspective.

✅ Key findings include:

•⁠ ⁠A median diagnosis delay of 2 years, highlighting persistent gaps in early recognition.
•⁠ ⁠A high symptom burden, with a median of 9 symptoms per patient.
•⁠ ⁠Significant impact on education, employment, and daily functioning.
•⁠ ⁠Marked inequalities in access to care across countries.

📌 These data underline the importance of integrating the patient perspective into clinical practice, research, and health policy to improve outcomes in this complex disease.

😃 Stay tuned as we break down these findings throughout the month and explore what they mean for people living with lupus across Europe.

This study would not have been possible without the active support and dissemination of Lupus Europe National Members across Europe. A huge thank you to all National Members and to all who supported and disseminated the study, for making this possible for the lupus community.
