- Abstract
The article discusses the analysis regarding the characteristics of patients with late onset systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) in Latin America. Logistic regression was conducted to analyze the connection of late onset SLE with other variables. Results show that high risk of pulmonary and cardiovascular disease was associated with late on set and the use of the cyclophosphamide and antiribonuclear protein (anti-RNP) antibodies reduces the risk of late onset.
