Time Trends in Acute Coronary Syndrome Hospitalizations and Outcomes in Patients With Systemic Lupus Erythematosus: A United States Inpatient Cohort Ana
SLE patients with ACS require higher healthcare utilization, with longer hospital stays and higher charges. Although ACS hospitalization rates declined for both groups, the decrease was greater in patients without SLE. These findings underscore the need for continuous targeted cardiovascular risk management strategies in patients with SLE to reduce morbidity and healthcare burden.
