Eligible studies included observational or qualitative research that examined factors related to adherence in patients with SLE. Of 362 records screened, 24 studies were included (\n                      <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">N<\/jats:italic>\n                      = 200,807). Because of heterogeneity in study design, populations, adherence measures, and reported effect sizes, a meta-analysis was not feasible. A narrative synthesis was performed, and effect measures were reported as presented in the original studies.\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      Structural disadvantages emerged as major barriers to adherence. Patients with very low or low socioeconomic status (OR = 2.6, 95% CI: 1.6\u20134.3) and those living in rural areas (OR = 3.4, 95% CI: 1.4\u20135.0) were more likely to be non-adherent. Racial residential segregation was also associated with reduced access to healthcare resources and lower adherence rates (OR = 0.80, 95% CI: 0.67\u20130.96). These disadvantages were linked to impaired provider-patient communication (\u03b2 = \u22120.41, p &lt; .001), which in turn weakened trust in treatment (\u03b3 = 0.68). Trust in treatment functioned as a critical mediator of adherence (R\n                      <jats:sup>2<\/jats:sup>\n                      = 0.83). Clinically, poor adherence was associated with increased disease activity (HR = 2.11, 95% CI: 1.75\u20133.02) and greater psychological burden (OR = 5.7, 95% CI: 3.8\u20137.9). Cognitive decline also contributed, with each one-point decrease in MMSE scores linked to a 7.2% increase in missed doses.\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Medication adherence in patients with SLE reflects the combined influence of structural inequalities and modifiable mediators. Socioeconomic disadvantage and segregation require systemic interventions, whereas provider-patient communication, treatment trust, and psychological support represent more immediate targets for action. Multilevel strategies are needed to address disparities and improve outcomes in SLE care.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1177\/09612033251410406","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,1,7]],"date-time":"2026-01-07T04:37:36Z","timestamp":1767760656000},"page":"156-165","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Factors associated with medication adherence among patients with systemic lupus erythematosus: A systematic review"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"35","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0540-8684","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Yulin","family":"Zou","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia"},{"name":"The Third Clinical Medical College of China Three Gorges University"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Nur Zakiah","family":"Mohd Saat","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ching Sin","family":"Siau","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Sheng","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"The Third Clinical Medical College of China Three Gorges University"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yue","family":"Che","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"The Third Clinical Medical College of China Three Gorges University"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Youfang","family":"Zhao","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"The Third Clinical Medical College of China Three Gorges University"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,1,6]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_3_4_2_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1038\/s41584-021-00668-1"},{"key":"e_1_3_4_3_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/art.42766"},{"key":"e_1_3_4_4_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2147\/IJGM.S533375"},{"key":"e_1_3_4_5_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3390\/jcm11154316"},{"key":"e_1_3_4_6_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/rap\/rkaa078"},{"key":"e_1_3_4_7_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3390\/medicina59010056"},{"key":"e_1_3_4_8_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/09612033221138360"},{"key":"e_1_3_4_9_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/0961203317742712"},{"issue":"11","key":"e_1_3_4_10_2","first-page":"16319","article-title":"Neuropsychiatric manifestations and their attribution to systemic lupus erythematosus: a retrospective single-center study in a Polish population","volume":"132","author":"Pawlak-Bu\u015b K","year":"2022","unstructured":"Pawlak-Bu\u015b K, Schmidt W, Leszczy\u0144ski P.
