Abstract

Purpose of review

To describe root causes of health disparities by reviewing studies on incidence and outcomes of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) related to ethnic, race, gender, or socioeconomic differences and to propose solutions.

Recent findings

SLE outcomes have steadily improved over the past 40 years but are not uniformly distributed across various racial and ethnic groups. Belonging to racial and ethnic minority has been cited as a risk factor for more severe disease and poor outcome in SLE. Population-based registries have demonstrated that Black patients with SLE have significantly lower life expectancy compared to White patients. Lower socioeconomic status has been shown to be one of the strongest predictors of progression to end stage renal disease in lupus nephritis. An association between patient experiences of racial discrimination, increased SLE activity, and damage has also been described. The lack of representation of marginalized communities in lupus clinical trials further perpetuates these disparities. To that end, the goal of a rheumatology workforce that resembles the patients it treats has emerged as one of many solutions to current shortfalls in care.

Summary

Disparities in SLE incidence, treatment, and outcomes have now been well established. The root causes of these disparities are multifactorial including genetic, epigenetic, and socioeconomic. The underrepresentation of marginalized communities in lupus clinical trials further worsen these disparities. Efforts have been made recently to address disparities in a more comprehensive manner, but systemic causes of disparities must be acknowledged and political will is required for a sustained positive change.
