Epidemiology of systemic lupus erythematosus: a comparison of worldwide disease burden
Abstract
Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a disease of multifactorial etiology. Quantifying the burden of SLE across different countries can clarify the role of genetic, environmental and other causative factors in the natural history of the disease, and to understand its clinical and societal consequences. The aim of this study is to summarize data on SLE incidence and prevalence in the USA, Europe, Asia, and Australia. An extensive review of electronic resources (PubMed and MedLine) and medical journals was conducted to identify published studies on SLE incidence and prevalence over the period of 1950-early 2006. Researchers in the countries of interest provided additional information on the epidemiology of SLE. The incidence and prevalence of SLE varies considerably across the countries. The burden of the disease is considerably elevated among non-white racial groups. There is a trend towards higher incidence and prevalence of SLE in Europe and Australia compared to the USA. In Europe, the highest prevalence was reported in Sweden, Iceland and Spain. There are marked disparities in SLE rates worldwide. This variability may reflect true differences across populations, or result from methodological differences of studies. The true geographic, racial, and temporal differences in SLE incidence and prevalence may yield important clues to the etiology of disease.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
