Article Synopsis
- Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a chronic autoimmune disease that primarily affects young, fertile women and can impact multiple organs, leading to health complications and higher death rates.
- The disease has a global prevalence, with at least 5 million affected individuals, but certain ethnic groups, especially Afro-American, Hispanic, and Asian populations, are more frequently impacted.
- Most research and epidemiological data on SLE come from Europe and the USA, while relatively limited information exists for Latin America, with only a few countries like Argentina, Colombia, and Mexico providing varying data.

Article Synopsis
- - The study examined how the COVID-19 pandemic influenced mortality rates in patients with systemic autoimmune rheumatic diseases (SARD) in Mexico by analyzing national data from 2010 to 2021.
- - It found that while the age-standardized mortality rate (ASMR) for SARD rose significantly pre-pandemic, it dropped during the pandemic, with actual mortality rates for 2020 and 2021 being lower than predicted for most SARD cases.
- - However, systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) in the Southern region showed an increase in observed mortality rates that exceeded the predicted values, though no differences were noted based on sex or age groups in the overall data.
