The Effect of Lupus on Employment
November 23, 2009

Researchers from South Carolina have studied the effect of systemic lupus erythematosus1 on employment. According to the November 2009 issue of the Journal of Rheumatology2, 51 patients and 26 controls who were working the year before diagnosis were no longer working at followup (a median of 4 years after diagnosis). Ninety-two percent of patients compared with 40% of controls who were no longer working indicated that they had stopped working because of their health.

College graduates were less likely to quit their jobs due to health compared to patients who did not graduate from college. Lupus patients with arthritis were 3 times more likely to have quit their jobs due to health reasons compared to those who didn't have arthritis.
