One hundred and seventy-three patients had systemic lupus erythematosus according to the 1982-ARA-criteria. The mean disease duration at the time of the study was 16.4 years, and the patients were followed by three Copenhagen clinics for a mean of 13.9 years until 1987/88 or death. Half of the patients had nephropathy, 61 patients developed severe infections, and 39 patients had thrombotic episodes. Fifty-six patients died during the observation period, 24 due to active lupus (12 of kidney failure), 12 because of infections, and 11 because of atherosclerotic cardio-vascular disease. The patients had 10-, 15- and 20-year survival rates of 80, 65 and 48 per cent. The deaths were evenly distributed throughout the observation period. |
