Meta-analysis results of the SLE incidence based on four CDC population-based registries, overall and by race and Hispanic ethnicity among females (A) and males (B). The overall female and male meta-analysis estimate is based on the results from the lupus registry sites in Michigan, Georgia, New York and California. SLE cases were defined according to the 1997 revised American College of Rheumatology criteria. ^aEstimates for black and white persons are based on pooled estimates from the four state-based registries; Asian/PI are based on pooled estimates from California and New York. AI/AN age-adjusted incidence estimates are from the Indian Health Service registry data previously published for females⁷ and newly age-adjusted to the 2000 US standard population by us for males.¹¹ In the original publication, the rates for males were not age-adjusted due to the small number of cases.⁷ ^bEstimates for Hispanics are based on pooled estimates from California and New York. SLE cases were defined according to the American College of Rheumatology criteria. AI/AN, American Indian/Alaska Native; Asian/PI, Asian/Pacific Islanders; CDC, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
