Associations between social determinants of health and long-term outcomes in systemic lupus erythematosus: a nationwide population-based cohort study in Sweden
In this population-based SLE cohort, lower education, lower income, being divorced, widowed or single and reduced work ability were independently associated with increased risk of organ damage and mortality. These findings support integrating SDH into risk stratification models and equity-focused interventions to improve SLE care and outcomes.
