Abstract

Causes of death and morbidity of patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) include the systemic disease itself and a number of comorbidities, most frequently cardiovascular diseases, infections and malignancies. Given the complex relationship between SLE and comorbidities, it is not always possible to ascribe a single cause of death to deceased patients with SLE. In this review we present the most important causes of morbidity and the way they contribute to death in patients with SLE. Furthermore, we analyze the problem of (non)recording of SLE in death certificates of SLE patients. Matching data from at least two different sources – medical charts from a lupus center and a vital statistics database – may improve the recognition of SLE as a cause of death in the general population.

Abstract in Croatian

Uzroci smrti i obolijevanja u bolesnika sa sistemskim eritemskim lupusom (SLE) uključuju osnovnu sistemsku bolest te više komorbiditeta, od kojih su najčešći kardiovaskularne bolesti, infekcije i maligni tumori. Zbog složenog odnosa SLE-a i komorbiditeta umrlim bolesnicima sa SLE-om nije uvijek moguće pripisati samo jedan uzrok smrti. U ovom pregledu prikazani su najvažniji uzroci obolijevanja i način na koji doprinose smrti bolesnika sa SLE-om. Povrh toga, analiziran je problem (ne)evidentiranja SLE-a u obrascima za prijavu smrti bolesnika sa SLE-om. Sparivanje podataka iz barem dvaju izvora – medicinskih kartona iz lupusnog centra i baza podataka vitalne statistike – moglo bi unaprijediti prepoznavanje SLE-a kao uzroka smrti u općoj populaciji.
