Treatment patterns in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus in New Zealand
Adherence to hydroxychloroquine in these patients varied and was lower in men and in Māori. Prednisone is commonly prescribed and used long term. Half of those over the age of 40 years old co-administered bisphosphonate. Further research is needed to identify the reasons for these discrepancies on SLE treatments by gender, ethnicity, age and socioeconomic status.
