nitrogen-dioxide and Lupus-Erythematosus--Systemic

Evidence of both epidemiological and clinical studies exploring the impact of nitrogen dioxide (NO. To evaluate the association between short-term NO. We collected health data of SLE inpatients who were hospitalized at secondary and tertiary hospitals in Hunan province of China during 2017-2019. Daily ambient concentrations of air pollutants (O. A total of 11,447 records from 221 hospitals were finally included in our study. After full adjustments, 1 μg/m. Excess LOS and substantial economic burden among SLE inpatients attributable to NO

Air pollution may trigger systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). However, few studies have investigated the associations between air pollution and complications of SLE, such as lupus nephritis (LN). In this study, multicenter longitudinal data from 13 hospitals in China, including 8552 SLE patients with 24,762 visits, were used. Based on the generalized estimating equation (GEE) model, we assessed the associations of LN occurrence with short-term exposures to different air pollutants including particulate matter with an aerodynamic diameter < 2.5 μm (PM
