Abstract
Objectives: This study investigated the clinically relevant factors for headaches in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) using a registry from a Japanese multicenter cohort.
Methods: This cross-sectional study analysed the clinical information of patients with SLE who experienced headache episodes using the Migraine Disability Assessment (MIDAS) questionnaire. Significant findings in the comparisons between patients with headache (HA patients) and those without headache (non-HA patients) and in the comparisons depending on the grades of headache-induced disability in daily life based on the MIDAS scores were evaluated. Multivariate logistic regression analyses were performed to identify the relevant factors for headache.
Results: We analyzed 369 patients (median age, 45 years; female, 90.8%), including 113 HA patients who were significantly younger than non-HA patients (p < .005). HA patients had significantly higher frequencies of photosensitivity, rashes, and mucosal ulcers than non-HA patients (p < .05). Age and photosensitivity were significantly associated with headache (odds ratio (OR) 0.93, 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.95-0.99; OR 2.11, 95% CI 1.29-3.49, respectively). In the HA patients, hypocomplementemia was significantly associated with a disability of more than mild grade (OR 2.89, 95% CI 1.14-7.74), while rash was significantly observed in those presenting with moderate and severe disability.
Conclusion: This study suggests that photosensitivity is a relevant manifestation of headache in patients with SLE. Persistent hypocomplementemia can contribute to headache-induced disability in daily life, whereas a rash may be a dominant manifestation in patients presenting with moderate/severe headache-induced disability.
