Abstract
Aortic aneurysms including dissection are uncommon complications of systemic lupus erythematosus, but the incidence has been increasing with an improved prognosis for this disease. However, the mechanisms contributing to aneurysm formation in systemic lupus erythematosus have not been fully clarified. A meta-analysis of published cases was conducted to clarify the patient characteristics that may contribute to aneurysm formation in systemic lupus erythematosus. A search of relevant studies published over the past 40 years (1969-2008) was carried out in the publications on aortic aneurysms with systemic lupus erythematosus, and 35 cases were identified. The contributing factors to aneurysm formation as well as the patient prognosis were searched for sex, age, duration of corticosteroid treatment, aneurysm site (thoracic and/or abdominal), mortality, evidence of atherosclerotic involvement, and presence or absence of an operation, rupture, dissection, cystic medial degeneration, vasculitis, and hypertension. Each of these factors was assigned to each point score. Based on the point scores, a statistical analysis of rank correlation was thereafter performed. The factors correlating with the presence of thoracic or abdominal lesion...Continue Reading
