Abstract

The objective of this article is to investigate the distinct features, morbidity and mortality of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) patients registered in rheumatology tertiary centers of Shiraz University of Medical Sciences from 2008 to 2018. A cross-sectional study was conducted on registered patients by reviewing their medical records. The clinical presentations were classified based on each organ's distinct involvement.

The most common primary manifestation of the disease was arthralgia (37.5%), and the most common clinical presentation in course of the disease was skin involvement (61.8%). The most common cause of hospital admission was disease flare (27.8% (108/388)), and mortality was mainly due to pulmonary complications (27.5% (8/29)). Patients who had hypothyroidism had statistically significantly lower rates of constitutional symptoms (p = 0.006), gastrointestinal involvement (p = 0.024), hypertension (p = 0.002), headache (p = 0.019), depression (p = 0.049) and anemia (p = 0.014).
