BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVE: Information available on the internet about Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) can influence the doctor-patient relationship. Therefore, the aim of this study was to identify the terms used for SLE on the internet.
We analyzed the data downloaded from Google Trends, considering the term "Lupus" in a six-year web-based research. The frequency of the terms for each Pan-American country was obtained automatically from Google Trends, which reports relative search volumes or RSV (on a scale from 0 to 100) across regions.
We obtained a total of 67 registered terms in 18 countries. The terms were distributed into five categories. The categories with interest in all countries were "definition" and "symptoms".
Google Trends allows us to find useful information about SLE on the internet; once the accuracy of this information is validated, it can be used by patients, health institutions, rheumatologists and other health professionals.
背景/目的：互联网上关于系统性红斑狼疮 (SLE) 的信息可能会影响医患关系。因此，本研究的目的是确定互联网上用于 SLE 的术语。
我们分析了从 Google Trends 下载的数据，考虑了六年的基于网络的研究中的“狼疮”一词。每个泛美国家的术语频率是从 Google Trends 自动获得的，该报告在区域范围内的相对搜索量或 RSV（从 0 到 100）。
我们在 18 个国家共获得了 67 个注册术语。这些术语分为五类。所有国家都感兴趣的类别是“定义”和“症状”。
Google Trends 使我们能够在互联网上找到有关 SLE 的有用信息；一旦验证了这些信息的准确性，患者、医疗机构、风湿病学家和其他卫生专业人员就可以使用这些信息。
