The aim of this study is to investigate the effects of biopsychosocial status, quality of life, functional status and hematological markers on fatigue in individuals with SLE.

Fatigue

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Fatigue Assesment Scale

    It is a scale consisting 10 items. The maximum score is 50. High score indicates high fatigue.

    Measured: Evaluations started immediately after receiving ethics committee approval and will be completed within 6 months, which is the study period.

  2. FACIT Fatigue Scale

    It is scale consisting 13 items. Scores range from 0-52. High score indicates low fatigue

    Measured: Evaluations started immediately after receiving ethics committee approval and will be completed within 6 months, which is the study period.

Secondary outcomes (12)
  1. Cognitive Exercise Therapy Approach-Biopsychosocial Questionnaire (BETY-BQ)

    It is a scale consist of 30 items. Scores range from 0-120. Higher scores indicate worse biopsychosocial status.

    Measured: Evaluations started immediately after receiving ethics committee approval and will be completed within 6 months, which is the study period.

  2. Short Form 36 (SF-36) Health Survey

    The SF-36 consists of two dimensions, generating a profile of health-related quality of life.These dimensions are: physical health and mental health. Higher scores indicate better health.

    Measured: Evaluations started immediately after receiving ethics committee approval and will be completed within 6 months, which is the study period.

  3. HEALTH ASSESSMENT QUESTIONNAIRE (HAQ)

    The scale consists of 20 questions and includes 8 activities. The total score is obtained by summing the points earned from 8 activities and then dividing that sum by 8. Higher scores indicate worse functional status

    Measured: Evaluations started immediately after receiving ethics committee approval and will be completed within 6 months, which is the study period.

  4. Routine blood test results

    Participants' routine blood test results such as neutrophil (NEU (K/uL)) , monocyte (MONO (K/uL)), eosinophil (EO (K/uL)), leukocyte (WBC (K/uL)), lymphocyte (LYM (K/uL)), platelet (PLT (K/uL)) will be recorded.

    Measured: Evaluations started immediately after receiving ethics committee approval and will be completed within 6 months, which is the study period.

  5. Routine Blood Test Results

    Participants' routine blood test results such as calcium (Ca (mg/dL)), creatinine (mg/dL), c-reactive protein (CRP (mg/L)), uric acid (mg/dL) will be recorded.

    Measured: Evaluations started immediately after receiving ethics committee approval and will be completed within 6 months, which is the study period.

  6. Routine Blood Test Results

    The participants' rutin blood test such as aspartate aminotransferase (AST IU/L), alanine aminotransferase (ALT IU/L) will be recorded.

    Measured: Evaluations started immediately after receiving ethics committee approval and will be completed within 6 months, which is the study period.

  7. Hematological indices

    Neutrophil/lymphocyte (NLR), monocyte/lymphocyte (MLR), platelet/lymphocyte (PLR), platelet*neutrophil/lymphocyte (systemic inflammatory index), monocyte/platelet (MTO), neutrophil*monocyte/lymphocyte (systemic inflammatory response index), neutrophil*monocyte*platelet/lymphocyte (systemic inflammation aggregate index) obtained from complete blood counts will be calculated and recorded.

    Measured: Evaluations started immediately after receiving ethics committee approval and will be completed within 6 months, which is the study period.

  8. Routine Blood Test Results

    Procolcytonin (PCT (%)), erythrocyte distribution width (RDW (%)), platelet distribution width (PDW (%)) levels will be recorded.

    Measured: Evaluations started immediately after receiving ethics committee approval and will be completed within 6 months, which is the study period.

  9. Routine Blood Test Results

    Erythrocyte distribution width standard deviation (RDW-SD (fL)) will be recorded.

    Measured: Evaluations started immediately after receiving ethics committee approval and will be completed within 6 months, which is the study period.

  10. Routine Blood Test Results

    C3 complement (g/L) and C4 complement (g/L) levels will be recorded.

    Measured: Evaluations started immediately after receiving ethics committee approval and will be completed within 6 months, which is the study period.

  11. Routine Blood Test Results

    Blood urea nitrogen (BUN (mg/dL)) levels will be recorded.

    Measured: Evaluations started immediately after receiving ethics committee approval and will be completed within 6 months, which is the study period.

  12. Routine Blood Test Results

    Sedimentation (mm/h) will be recorded.

    Measured: Evaluations started immediately after receiving ethics committee approval and will be completed within 6 months, which is the study period.
