Incidence and Prevalence of Atherosclerotic Cardiovascular Disease in Cutaneous Lupus Erythematosus
In this retrospective matched longitudinal cohort study, CLE was associated with an increased risk for ASCVD, similar to the risk in SLE but higher than the risk in psoriasis. The role of comorbidities that augment ASCVD risk like smoking status should be further investigated. Clinicians treating patients with CLE can consider them at increased ASCVD risk and institute appropriate screening tests.
