Resumen
By and large, systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is more prevalent and with less favorable outcomes in non-white populations. To overcome these differences and reduce the short-, medium-, and long-term impact of SLE in disadvantaged populations, it is essential to increase awareness of the disease, improve access to health care, and provide care to these patients in a consistent manner, regardless of the severity of their disease. In this context, premature mortality related to renal involvement in SLE patients is of particular concern.
Despite these facts, little research has been conducted in Cuba aimed at understanding the unequal impact of renal disease on mortality in white and non-white SLE patients.
Our aim was to identify racial disparities in renal disease -related mortality in Cuban patients who died from SLE.
