Perceived Cognitive Function in People With Systemic Sclerosis: Associations With Symptoms and Daily Life Functioning
Authors' conclusion
Being on work disability and having more fatigue were most highly associated with perceived cognitive dysfunction in patients with SSc. Unlike fatigue and pain, perceived cognitive function was not independently associated with functional measures.
