Income and Skindex-29+3 and SF-36 sub-domain scores in UTSW CLE patients. (a), Mean scores and standard deviations (SD) for Skindex-29+3 emotions, symptoms, functioning and lupus-specific sub-domains in UTSW CLE patients earning <10K (N=26), 10–50K (N=26), and >50K (N=21) 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 these same three income groups. Income information was not available for 18 of 91 UTSW CLE patients. One-way analysis of variance with Tukey's test for multiple comparisons was performed to determine statistical significance. *: p<0.05, **: p<0.005, ***: p<0.0005
