Popis: The objective is to assess quality-of-life (QoL) parameters among Indian female systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) patients with durable remission. Indian female SLE patients in remission determined by the European consensus criteria and age-matched female control participants were included in the study. All included participants underwent measurements of QoL [Medical Outcomes Study Short-Form-12 (SF12)], Fatigue Severity Scale, and structured interview with a clinical psychologist. The population comprised of 126 female SLE patients [median age: 27.5 years [interquartile range (IQR): 11]; median disease duration: 36 months (IQR 26)] and 110 female controls [median age 30 years (IQR 9)]. Clinical remission was seen in 65.9% (83/126) and complete remission in 34.1% (43/126). Significant fatigue was present in 18.3% (23/126). Both SF-12 physical component summary (PCS) and mental component summary (MCS) were similar between SLE patients and controls [median PCS: 50.3 (IQR: 16.2) vs. 48.6 (IQR: 11.6); median MCS: 57.2 (IQR: 4.8) vs. 57.9 (IQR: 7.6)]. In generalised linear modelling, PCS was associated with fatigue [odd’s ratio (OR) 0.012, 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.006–0.025, p
