Health seeking behaviour and diagnostic delays in SLE: A multi-ethnic Malaysian cohort study
There were ethnic disparities in the early diagnosis of SLE in Malaysia, with Indian patients having a longer interval between the first symptom and diagnosis while the Chinese were associated with lower diagnostic delays. Early diagnosis predicted early attainment of LLDAS, suggesting that prompt recognition of the initial SLE symptoms is important.
