Article Synopsis
- Socioeconomic status (SES) is linked to worse outcomes in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), with this study specifically investigating the effect of national health insurance on these outcomes.
- A cohort of 617 SLE patients was analyzed, showing that those in the lower SES group had younger disease onset and higher rates of lupus nephritis compared to higher SES groups, which also had lower mortality and end-stage kidney disease rates.
- The study concludes that low SES negatively impacts SLE outcomes, even in a healthcare system with equal access, highlighting the need for policymakers to address barriers faced by lower SES patients.
