To assess the association between the ethnic origin of patients with SLE living in Israel, and the clinical and laboratory features of SLE.
A retrospective review of medical records was carried out. Patients were classified into 3 groups based on their ethnic origin: a) Ashkenazi Jews, b) Sepharadic Jews and c) Arabs.
The study included 74 consecutive SLE patients, 69 (93%) women and 5 (7%) men. Their mean age at diagnosis was 32 years and their mean disease duration was 6.4 years. There were 21 (28%) Ashkenazi Jews, 31 (42%) Sepharadic Jews and 22 (30%) Arabs. The demographics, the frequency of various clinical and laboratory variables of SLE, and the mean disease activity index score (SLEDA1) of the three groups were not statistically different.
The ethnic origin of SLE patients living in Israel is not associated with the clinical and laboratory features of the disease.
评估居住在以色列的系统性红斑狼疮(SLE)患者的种族起源与SLE临床及实验室特征之间的关联。
对病历进行回顾性研究。根据种族起源将患者分为3组:a)阿什肯纳兹犹太人,b)西班牙系犹太人,c)阿拉伯人。
该研究纳入了74例连续的SLE患者,其中69例(93%)为女性,5例(7%)为男性。他们诊断时的平均年龄为32岁,平均病程为6.4年。有21例(28%)阿什肯纳兹犹太人,31例(42%)西班牙系犹太人,22例(30%)阿拉伯人。三组患者的人口统计学特征、SLE各种临床和实验室变量的频率以及平均疾病活动指数评分(SLEDA1)无统计学差异。
居住在以色列的SLE患者的种族起源与该疾病的临床及实验室特征无关。
