During in-person visits (from October 2016 to April 2017), we evaluated physical performance (range 0-4, with higher scores indicating better performance), cognitive performance (5 fluid cognition domains; adjusted T scores), and self-reported measures including physical functioning (T scores), activities of daily living (ADLs), falls, and life-space mobArthritis care & researchGeriatric Assessment of Physical and Cognitive Functioning in a Diverse Cohort of Systemic Lupus Erythematosus Patients: A Pilot Study.PMC6033700UL1TR000454U01DP005119grant GHO‐11‐33661U01DP005119UL1 TR000454UL1 TR002378U01 DP006488U01 DP005119Drenkard CTift BDBarrett Bowling CPlantinga LSam Lim SDunlop-Thomas CfalseGeriatric Assessment of Physical and Cognitive Functioning in a Diverse Cohort of Systemic Lupus Erythematosus Patients: A Pilot Study.<h4>Objective</h4>To use multidomain functional assessment, which is commonly performed in geriatric patients but is novel in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), to better understand functional impairment in patients with SLE.<h4>Methods</h4>We recruited 60 adult participants (aged 20-39 years [26.7%], 40-59 years [50.0%], and ≥60 years [23.3%]; 80.0% African American and 90.0% female) from an existing cohort of SLE patients.
