520 |a Aim of the work: To assess the patient reported outcome measure (PROM) of the quality of life (QoL) of patients with autoimmune rheumatic diseases (RDs) attending two tertiary care rheumatology clinics in Uganda 
520 |a Patients and methods: Patients with a confirmed diagnosis of RD and receiving disease modifying anti-rheumatic drugs (DMARDs) were studied. Health index and overall self-rated health status were assessed using the EuroQol 5-dimension (ED-5D-5L) questionnaire tool 
520 |a Results: 74 patients were studied: 48 (64.9%) had rheumatoid arthritis (RA), 14(18.9%) systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), and 12(16.2%) had other RDs; spondyloarthritis (n = 5), systemic sclerosis (n = 3), juvenile idiopathic arthritis (n = 2), and idiopathic inflammatory myositis (n = 2). Their mean age was 45 ± 17 years and 69 (93.2%) were female. 14(18.9%) were on concomitant herbal medication and 26 (35.1%) self-reported at least 1 adverse drug reaction. Any level of problem was reported by 54(72.5%) participants for mobility, 47(63.5%) for self-care, 56(75.6%) for usual activity, 66(89.1%) for pain and discomfort, and 56(75.6%) for anxiety/depression. The mean health index of the patients was 0.64 ± 0.16 and the overall self-rated health status was 58.1 ± 16.7. Patients with SLE (0.74 ± 0.12) had higher health index compared to those with RA (0.60 ± 0.17) or other RDs (0.70 ± 0.1) (p < 0.007). Overall self-rated health status was comparable across clinical diagnoses (p = 0.23). Both the index and self-reported status were better for patients who received private hospital care compared to public hospital (p < 0.0001 and p = 0.01) 
520 |a Conclusion: There is a substantial negative impact of autoimmune rheumatic diseases on quality of life of patients, especially those receiving care from a public facility in Uganda
