• Abstract: OBJECTIVES:To estimate mortality rates and mortality trends from SLE in the state of São Paulo, Brazil.METHODS:The official data bank was used to study all deaths occurred from 1985 to 2004 in which SLE was mentioned as the underlying cause of death. Besides the overall mortality rate, the annual gender- and age-specific mortality rates were estimated for each calendar year by age bracket (0–19 years, 20–39 years, 40–59 years and over 60 years) and for the sub-periods 1985-1995 (first) and 1996-2004 (second), by decades. Chi-square test was used to compare the mortality rates between the two periods, as well the mortality rates according to educational level considering years of study. Pearson correlation coefficient test was used to analyse mortality trends. The crude rates were adjusted for age by the direct method, using the standard Brazilian population in 2000.RESULTS:A total of 2,601 deaths (90per cent female) attributed to SLE were analysed. The mean age at death was significantly higher in the second than in the first sub-period (36.6±15.6 years vs. 33.9±14.0 years; p<0.001). The overall adjusted mortality rate was 3.8 eaths/millionhabitants/year for the entire period and 3.4 deaths/million inhabitants/year for the first and4.0deaths/millioninhabitants/year for the second sub-period (p<0.001). In each calendar year, the mortality rate was significantly lower for the better educated group. Throughout the period, there was a significant increase in mortality rates only among women over 40CONCLUSIONS: SLE patients living in the state of São Paulo still die at younger ages than those living in developed countries. Our data do not support the theory that there was an improvement in the SLE mortality rate in the last 20 years in the state of Sao Paulo. Socio-economic factors, such as the difficulty to get medical care and adequate treatment, may be the main factors to explain the worst prognosis for our patients
