What is Clinical Characteristics and Outcomes of Systemic Lupus Erythematosus Patients Admitted To Assiut University Hospital Critical Care Unit about?

This study investigates the clinical characteristics and outcomes of 50 systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) patients admitted to the ICU at Assiut University Hospital. The leading causes of admission were lupus nephritis and pneumonia, with 80% of patients surviving, while predictors of mortality included older age, complications, and high APACHE-II scores. The findings emphasize the importance of early diagnosis and risk stratification in improving outcomes for SLE patients in critical care.
