Short term outcomes of COVID-19 in lupus: Propensity score matched analysis from a nationwide multi-centric research network

CONCLUSION: The mortality of individuals with SLE due to COVID-19 is comparable to the general population but with higher risks of hospitalisation, ICU admission, mechanical ventilation, stroke, VTE and sepsis. The presence of nephritis increases the risk of AKI, thus probably increasing hospitalisation and sepsis.PMID:34649723 | PMC:PMC8501265 | DOI:10.1016/j.jaut.2021.102730
