ABSTRACT
Nationwide prevalence and mortality rates in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) were estimated using a computer file of all hospital discharge records and cause of death statistics from 1972 to 1978. Age-specific and sex-specific prevalence rates obtained from 1976 to 1978 and mortality rates from 1972 to 1978. In December 1978 the prevalence of SLE was 28100 000. The overall mortality rate was 4.7 per million person-years in 1972-78. Active lupus nephritis, vascular events and infections were the most frequent causes of death in SLE patients.
