An attempt is made to see if any correlation exists between the prevalence of 13 selected rheumatic diseases and the number of literature entries concerning these disorders in 1974 and 1983. Entries on systemic lupus are broken down in detail. It is concluded that interest in autoimmune diseases, especially their immunology, appears healthy. Lower morbidity disorders with a large prevalence (osteoarthritis, fibrositis, gout) may be disproportionately under-investigated. Whether any correlation between funding levels and literature entries can be made is speculative.
研究旨在探讨1974年和1983年13种选定的风湿性疾病的患病率与有关这些疾病的文献条目数量之间是否存在关联。系统性红斑狼疮的条目进行了详细分类。结论是，对自身免疫性疾病，尤其是其免疫学的研究兴趣似乎较为浓厚。患病率高但发病率较低的疾病（骨关节炎、纤维肌痛、痛风）可能未得到与其患病率不相称的充分研究。资金水平与文献条目之间是否存在关联尚属推测。
