The prevalence of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) was estimated from a secondary analysis of data collected during the Third National Study of Morbidity Statistics from General Practice, 1981-2. A total of 20 cases, all female, were seen by general practitioners during the study period. The period prevalence of SLE was 12.5/100,000 among women of all ages and 17.7/100,000 among women aged 15 to 64. These rates are lower than those reported from other developed Western countries; this is probably due to misclassification in diagnosis or prior referral of cases to consultants for chronic care, or both.
系统性红斑狼疮（SLE）的患病率是通过对1981 - 1982年第三次全国全科医疗发病率统计研究期间收集的数据进行二次分析估算得出的。在研究期间，全科医生共诊治了20例病例，均为女性。SLE的期间患病率在所有年龄段女性中为12.5/10万，在15至64岁女性中为17.7/10万。这些患病率低于其他西方发达国家报告的患病率；这可能是由于诊断错误分类，或病例先前因慢性疾病护理被转诊给专科医生，或两者皆有。
