*
Odds ratios (95% confidence interval) from multiple logistic regression analyses. All analyses included age, sex, race, marital status, education, comorbidities, fatigue, and functional limitations, and the following disease-specific characteristics:
- RA: pain rating.
- SLE: rating of lupus activity.
- COPD: COPD Severity Score, current smoking status.
Only associations significant at p≤0.20 are shown.
