Article Synopsis
- Diffuse alveolar hemorrhage (DAH) is a severe and uncommon complication in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) patients, with early diagnosis and treatment critical for improving survival rates.
- In a study from the RELESSER register, 37 out of 4024 SLE patients experienced DAH, with notable characteristics including a high prevalence of women and links to renal issues and thrombocytopenia.
- Factors associated with higher mortality in DAH patients included smoking, prior lupus nephritis, infections, and the use of cyclophosphamide, with a mortality rate of 35.7% observed in the cohort.
Introduction: Obstetric complications are more common in women with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) than in the general population.
Objective: To assess pregnancy outcomes in women with SLE from the RELESSER cohort after 12 years of follow-up.
Methods: A multicentre retrospective observational study was conducted.
Objectives: To analyze the prevalence, incidence, survival and contribution on mortality of major central nervous system (CNS) involvement in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE).
Methods: Patients fulfilling the SLE 1997 ACR classification criteria from the multicentre, retrospective RELESSER-TRANS (Spanish Society of Rheumatology Lupus Register) were included. Prevalence, incidence and survival rates of major CNS neuropsychiatric (NP)-SLE as a group and the individual NP manifestations cerebrovascular disease (CVD), seizure, psychosis, organic brain syndrome and transverse myelitis were calculated.
