QoL is significantly impaired in SLE patients, even in those achieving a state of remission, suggesting the possible contribution of other factors. Thus, in the present study we aimed at analyzing QoL in a large SLE cohort by using LupusQoL, and at identifying the main determinant of poorer QoL.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>We conducted a cross-sectional study by including consecutive SLE patients diagnosed according to the 2019 ACR\/EULAR criteria. Clinical, laboratory and therapeutical data were collected. Disease activity was assessed by SLEDAI-2k, while chronic damage by the SLICC Damage Index (SDI). The diagnosis of fibromyalgia was made in accordance with the ACR criteria (2016). At the time of the enrollment, all patients completed the following questionnaires: LupusQoL to assess quality of life and hospital anxiety and depression scale (HADS) for anxiety and depression.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Our analysis included 237 SLE patients [92.4% female, median age 46\u00a0years (IQR 19.5), median disease duration 156.8\u00a0months (IQR 180.6)]. At the time of enrollment, we found a mean SLEDAI-2k of 1.7 (DS 2.4); 104 patients (43.9%) had chronic damage, with a mean SDI value of 0.8 (DS 1.3). Patients diagnosed with fibromyalgia were 69 (29.1%); moreover, HADS questionnaire identified a condition of anxiety and depression in 112 (47.3%) and 94 (39.7%) patients, respectively. The most compromised domain in the LupusQoL resulted \u201cfatigue\u201d, followed by \u201cburden to others\u201d. Patients with SDI \u2265 1 showed lower quality of life than patients without chronic damage, as demonstrated by significantly lower values in all items of the LupusQoL ( p &lt; .01). Furthermore, significantly lower values in all the LupusQoL domains were observed in patients with fibromyalgia, anxiety and depression, in comparison to those patients without these manifestations ( p &lt; .0001). No association was demonstrated between QoL and disease activity. Finally, the linear regression analysis confirmed mood disorders, in particular depression, and fibromyalgia as the main determinants of worse quality of life in our cohort.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The present study demonstrated the influence of different factors in the quality of life of SLE patients.
