J Rheumatol. 2022. Epub ahead of print doi: 10.3899/jrheum.211135
Many studies have determined ethnicity as a predictor of higher SLICC/ACR DI, but only a limited number have evaluated the trajectory of damage accrual in patients with SLE in different ethnicities. To this end. Kallas, et al. compared the data of nearly 2500 patients with SLE of African-American vs Caucasian ethnicities, to assess damage based on ethnicity and socioeconomic factors.
