Glucocorticoid Withdrawal Symptoms and Quality of Life in Patients with Systemic Lupus Erythematosus
Copyright © 2023 Matee Karoonkatima et al..
Methods: SLE patients whose prednisolone had been previously withdrawn or taken <5 mg/day were enrolled. Serum morning cortisol levels were collected after 72-hour GCS discontinuation, and low-dose ACTH stimulation test (LDST) was performed. Patient report outcomes (PROs) included SLE-specific quality of life questionnaire (SLEQoL), functional assessment of chronic illness therapy (FACIT), patient health questionnaire (PHQ-9), and Pittsburgh's sleep quality index (PSQI).
Results: Serum morning cortisol of 100 SLE patients was tested. Most patients were female (88%). Seventy-four patients showed remission. The mean ± SD of prednisolone was 0.73 ± 1.08 mg/day. Total SLEQoL and FACIT (mean ± SD) of all patients were 67.05 ± 26.15 and 13.7 ± 8.87, respectively. Eighteen percent of patients had moderate-severe depressive symptoms, and 49% were poor sleepers. Adrenal function was determined by LDST in only 39 patients; 5 patients (12.8%) were adrenal insufficiency (AI), and 34 patients were normal adrenal function. Compared to normal adrenal function patients, SLE patients with AI had higher proportion of moderate-severe depressive symptom (PHQ - 9 > 9), but not statistically significant (40% vs. 20.6%, p = 0.34). PROs were comparable between groups. Independent factors associated with SLEQoL were FACIT (adjusted β 1.31, 95% CI 0.76, 1.86, p < 0.001), PHQ-9 (adjusted β 5.21, 95% CI 4.32, 6.09, p < 0.001), and PSQI (adjusted β 4.23, 95% CI 3.01, 5.45, p < 0.001), but not with AI (adjusted β -5.2, 95% CI -33.26, 22.93, 0.71, p = 0.71).
Conclusion: SLE patients with previous GCS exposure could experience AI and withdrawal symptoms such as sleep disturbance and depression during discontinuation of low-dose GCS. Fatigue, depression, and poor sleeper were significantly associated with poor SLEQoL.
