🧵 THREAD 📢 Our latest study, co-led by Dr Daniel G. Oliveira & Zoe Karakikla-Mitsakou, takes a comprehensive look at how SDH shape every stage of the patient pathway. 💎 It also proposes practical solutions to improve health equity & outcomes. sciencedirect.com/science/articl… #1month1study
Daniel G. Oliveira 1️⃣ SDH 🆚 presentation & diagnosis (example) Patients from ⬇️income or minority backgrounds often face delays in diagnosis due to limited access to specialists, low health literacy or stigma. As a result, lupus may be more severe, with organ damage, at diagnosis #1Month1Study
Daniel G. Oliveira 2️⃣ How SDH affect lupus management Low income, limited health literacy, language barriers or caregiving responsibilities (affects mainly women) can reduce access to medication, appointments, and follow-up, leading to irregular treatment & worse disease control. #1Month1Study
Daniel G. Oliveira 3️⃣ SDH & prognosis Low income & unemployment are linked to more severe manifestations & ⬆️ damage. Also limit access to 💊, appointments & follow-up, leading to ⬆️ disease activity, flares & ⬆️damage. Financial stress, unemployment, & social isolation can affect mental health
Daniel G. Oliveira 4️⃣ How SDH affect lupus outcomes SDH influence not only how lupus begins, but also how it evolves over time. Low income, low education, limited access to care, & lower socioeconomic backgrounds are linked to ⬆️ disease activity, more flares & greater organ damage #1Month1Study
