Abstract:
Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a chronic autoimmune disease characterized by diverse organ system disabilities, predominantly affecting young females. The clinical manifestations of SLE encompass various organs, including the kidney, cardiovascular system, and central nervous system. Young females with SLE experience higher mortality rates than the general population, making it imperative to gain insights into the disease patterns and associated factors. The current review examines the epidemiological studies to analyze the prevalence, incidence, and mortality trends of SLE in Korea and compares them with the findings from other countries. We aim to identify potential similarities, differences, and factors contributing to the burden of SLE in different populations by exploring the comparative epidemiological aspects. The knowledge derived from this comparison would aid in advancing the overall management of SLE in Korea.
