    The study on Anifrolumab treatment for systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) patients revealed significant improvements in quality of life and a decrease in systemic corticosteroid use. Conducted through qualitative interviews with 14 patients and electronic medical record data from 16 patients, the research highlighted a reduction in bothersome symptoms such as fatigue, joint pain, and hair loss. Patients reported enhanced daily life activities, social interactions, and emotional well-being post-treatment. Additionally, clinical data showed decreased disease activity and improved laboratory results, supporting the subjective reports of symptom alleviation. These findings underscore the efficacy of Anifrolumab in managing SLE.
