Abstract
BACKGROUND Lupus nephritis is one of the most serious complications of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Ten percent to 20% of patients with SLE progress to end-stage renal disease and would require renal replacement therapy or renal transplantation. In this analysis, we aimed to systematically compare mortality and the causes of mortality in patients with complicated SLE who were treated on hemodialysis (HD) versus peritoneal dialysis (PD). METHODS Cochrane Central, Medical Literature Analysis and Retrieval System Online, Google Scholar, Web of Science, Excerpta Medica dataBASE, and http://www.ClinicalTrials.gov were searched for studies that compared HD versus PD in patients with SLE. The RevMan software version 5.4 (RevMan software, Cochrane Collaborations, United Kingdom) was used to analyze data. Heterogeneity was assessed using the Q and the I2 statistical tests. In this analysis, a random effects model was used during data assessment. Risk ratios (RRs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were used to represent the results following analysis. RESULTS A total number of 3405 SLE participants were included in this analysis, whereby 2841 were assigned to HD and 564 participants were assigned to PD. In patients with SLE who were on dialysis, our analysis showed that the risk of mortality was similar with HD and PD (RR, 0.69; 95% CI, 0.45-1.07; P = .10). When the cause of mortality was analyzed, cardiovascular death (RR, 0.63; 95% CI, 0.31-1.31; P = .22), death due to infection (RR, 0.74; 95% CI, 0.47-1.17; P = .20), death due to a respiratory cause (RR, 1.06; 95% CI, 0.18-6.21; P = .95), cause of death due to SLE flare up (RR, 2.54; 95% CI, 0.39-16.37; P = .33), and other causes of death (RR, 0.79; 95% CI, 0.35-1.77; P = .57) were not significantly different with HD and PD. CONCLUSION This current analysis showed that in SLE patients who required dialysis, the risk of mortality between HD and PD was similar, and the causes of death including cardiovascular, infective, respiratory, SLE flare up, and other causes were not significantly different. Therefore, both dialysis methods were tolerable in these patients with SLE. Further studies with larger data would be required to confirm this hypothesis.

Ajeganova S, Hafström I, Frostegård J. Patients with SLE have higher risk of cardiovascular events and mortality in comparison with controls with the same levels of traditional risk factors and intima-media measures, which is related to accumulated disease damage and antiphospholipid syndrome: a case-control study over 10 years. Lupus Sci Med 2021; 8:8/1/e000454. [PMID: 33547230 PMCID: PMC7871345 DOI: 10.1136/lupus-2020-000454] [Citation(s) in RCA: 42] [Impact Index Per Article: 10.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/28/2020] [Revised: 01/02/2021] [Accepted: 01/06/2021] [Indexed: 01/31/2023]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE SLE is a strong risk factor for premature cardiovascular (CV) disease and mortality. We investigated which factors could explain poor prognosis in SLE compared with controls. METHODS Patients with SLE and population controls without history of clinical CV events who performed carotid ultrasound examination were recruited for this study. The outcome was incident CV event and death. Event-free survival rates were compared using Kaplan-Meier curves. Relative HR (95% CI) was used to estimate risk of outcome. RESULTS Patients (n=99, 87% female), aged 47 (13) years and with a disease duration of 12 (9) years, had mild disease at inclusion, Systemic Lupus Erythematosus Diseases Activity Index score of 3 (1-6) and Systemic Lupus International Collaborating Clinics (SLICC) Damage Index score of 0 (0-1). The controls (n=109, 91% female) were 49 (12) years old. Baseline carotid intima-media thickness (cIMT) did not differ between the groups, but plaques were more prevalent in patients (p=0.068). During 10.1 (9.8-10.2) years, 12 patients and 4 controls reached the outcome (p=0.022). Compared with the controls, the risk of the adverse outcome in patients increased threefold to fourfold taking into account age, gender, history of smoking and diabetes, family history of CV, baseline body mass index, waist circumference, C reactive protein, total cholesterol, high-density lipoprotein, low-density lipoprotein, dyslipidaemia, cIMT and presence of carotid plaque. In patients, higher SLICC score and SLE-antiphospholipid syndrome (SLE-APS) were associated with increased risk of the adverse outcome, with respective HRs of 1.66 (95% CI 1.20 to 2.28) and 9.08 (95% CI 2.71 to 30.5), as was cIMT with an HR of 1.006 (95% CI 1.002 to 1.01). The combination of SLICC and SLE-APS with cIMT significantly improved prediction of the adverse outcome (p<0.001). CONCLUSION In patients with mild SLE of more than 10 years duration, there is a threefold to fourfold increased risk of CV events and death compared with persons who do not have SLE with similar pattern of traditional CV risk factors, cIMT and presence of carotid plaque. SLICC, SLE-APS and subclinical atherosclerosis may indicate a group at risk of worse outcome in SLE.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The relationship between autoimmune hemolytic anemia and antiphospholipid antibodies (aPL) and/or antiphospholipid syndrome has never been systematically addressed. METHODS Systematic review of EMBASE and PubMed databases performed according to PRISMA guidelines from inception to March 2020; meta-analysis performed by Peto's odds ratio for rare events. FINDINGS Forty-five studies with different outcomes met the inclusion/exclusion criteria. The pooled prevalence (PP) of IgG anticardiolipin antibodies (aCL) positivity was greater in end-stage renal disease (ESRD) than controls (20.2% vs. 2.6%, P = 0.001, I2 >80%; I2 = heterogeneity), particularly in hemodialysis patients (18.3% vs. 8%, I2 = 0%). The PP of lupus anticoagulant was greater in ESRD than controls (8.7% vs. 0.2%, P < 0.0001, I2 = 0%). The standardized mean difference of IgG aCL favored ESRD rather than controls (P < 0.0001, I2 =97%). The PP of fistula occlusion was greater in IgG aCL-positive patients than negative patients (39% vs. 27%, I2 =97%); the PP of IgG aCL positivity was greater in patients with fistula occlusion than without fistula occlusion (26.9% vs. 23.2%, P = 0.01, I2 =72%); the same applied to the PP of lupus anticoagulant positivity (23% vs. 0.3%, P < 0.0001, I2 = 0%). The standardized mean difference of IgG aCL favored fistula occlusion (P = 0.004, I2 = 91%). DISCUSSION Lupus anticoagulant relates to ESRD regardless of management whereas IgG aCL relates specifically to ESRD on hemodialysis, but only lupus anticoagulant associates with fistula occlusion. The expression of aPL as patients positive for aPL rather than as titers precludes further assumptions on the relationship.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To compare clinical features and mortality between childhood-onset systemic lupus erythematosus (cSLE) and adult-onset SLE (aSLE) in a prospective single-center cohort. METHODS A total of 1112 patients with SLE (133 cSLE and 979 aSLE) were enrolled and followed from 1998 to 2012. The 2 groups were compared regarding American College of Rheumatology (ACR) classification criteria for SLE, autoantibodies, disease activity measured by the Adjusted Mean SLE Disease Activity Index (AMS), damage measured by the Systemic Lupus International Collaborating Clinics/ACR Damage Index (SDI), and medication. The standardized mortality ratio (SMR) was calculated. Predictors of mortality in SLE were evaluated using Cox proportional hazard models. RESULTS After a mean followup of 7.6 years, patients with cSLE had a higher number of cumulative ACR criteria and a higher AMS (p < 0.001 each), but there was no difference in SDI (p = 0.797). Immunosuppressants were used more frequently by patients with cSLE (p < 0.001). The SMR of cSLE was 18.8 (95% CI 8.6-35.6), significantly higher than that of aSLE (2.9, 95% CI 2.1-3.9). We found cSLE to be an independent predictor of mortality (HR 3.6, p = 0.008). Moreover, presence of hemolytic anemia (7.2, p = 0.034) and antiphospholipid antibody (aPL; 3.8, p = 0.041) increased the magnitude of risk of early mortality more in the patients with cSLE than in those with aSLE. CONCLUSION The clinical course of cSLE as measured by number of clinical manifestations and disease activity is worse than that of aSLE. Also, cSLE patients with hemolytic anemia and aPL are at greater risk of death than patients with aSLE who have those features.
