Journal ArticleDOI
Age-specific Incidence Rates of Myocardial Infarction and Angina in Women With Systemic Lupus Erythematosus: Comparison With the Framingham Study
Susan Manzi,Elaine N. Meilahn,Joan E. Rairie,Claudia Conte,Thomas A. Medsger,Linda Jansen-McWilliams,Ralph B. D'Agostino,Lewis H. Kuller +7 more
TL;DR: Women with lupus in the 35- to 44-year age group were over 50 times more likely to have a myocardial infarction than were women of similar age in the Framingham Offspring Study.
Journal ArticleDOI
Prevalence and risk factors of carotid plaque in women with systemic lupus erythematosus
Susan Manzi,Faith Selzer,Kim Sutton-Tyrrell,Shirley G. Fitzgerald,Joan E. Rairie,Russell P. Tracy,Lewis H. Kuller +6 more
TL;DR: B-mode ultrasound provides a useful noninvasive technique to assess atherosclerosis in women with SLE who are at high risk for cardiovascular disease and potentially modifiable risk factors were found to be associated with the vascular disease detected using this method.
Journal ArticleDOI
Frequency of fractures in women with systemic lupus erythematosus: Comparison with united states population data
Rosalind Ramsey-Goldman,Julie E. Dunn,Cheng Fang Huang,Dorothy D. Dunlop,Joan E. Rairie,Shirley G. Fitzgerald,Susan Manzi +6 more
TL;DR: There was nearly a 5-fold increase in fracture occurrence in the women with lupus compared with women from the US population, and independent determinants of time from l upus diagnosis to fracture were older age at lupu diagnosis and longer duration of corticosteroid use.
Journal ArticleDOI
Sensitivity and specificity of plasma and urine complement split products as indicators of lupus disease activity
Susan Manzi,Joan E. Rairie,A B Carpenter,R. H. Kelly,S P Jagarlapudi,Susan M. Sereika,Thomas A. Medsger,Rosalind Ramsey-Goldman +7 more
TL;DR: It appears from this study that detection of urine C3d may be a simple way of measuring complement activation in the setting of lupus renal disease, and may be most helpful in situations where conventional measurements are not.
