Background: Because of the efficacy and good safety profile of antimalarials in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) is currently recommended in all SLE patients. However, patients' compliance was reported as suboptimal. This study aims to elucidate the reasons for discontinuing antimalarials in a large series of SLE patients followed in a single centre during the last 50 years
Material And Methods: Among all patients diagnosed between 1968 and 2017 at our reference centre, retrospective data were obtained from electronic medical records of SLE patients consecutively visited during 2015-2017 and controlled for at least 1 year.
