(a), Mean scores and standard deviations (SD) for Skindex-29+3 emotions, symptoms, functioning and lupus-specific sub-domains in UTSW CLE female (N=81) and male (N=10) patients were calculated. (b), Mean scores and SDs for SF-36 physical functioning, role-physical, bodily pain, general health, vitality, social functioning, role-emotional, and mental health sub-domains were calculated in UTSW CLE female and male patients. Two-tailed, two-sample t-tests were performed to determine statistical significance. *: p<0.05, **: p≤0.005
