“…After propensity score matching, 163 cases from SLE and control groups were included for analysis. (1) Regarding medical complications, compared with control group, SLE group showed significant differences in osteoporosis, respiratory system disorders, gastrointestinal diseases, urinary system disorders, hematologic abnormalities, and secondary or concomitant rheumatic diseases (all P < 0.05). (2) In terms of preoperative laboratory tests, SLE group had lower platelet counts, absolute lymphocyte counts, hemoglobin levels, hematocrit, albumin levels, blood glucose levels, and activated partial thromboplastin times than control group, while C-reactive protein, erythrocyte sedimentation rate, and D-dimer levels were higher (all P < 0.05). (3) Regarding surgical-related indicators, a higher proportion of patients in SLE group had an ASA grade > 2 (15.95% vs. 3.07%, P < 0.001), but intraoperative blood loss was significantly smaller [324.7 (200.0, 500.0) mL vs. 421.8 (200.0, 500.0) mL, P=0.005]. (4) In terms of complications, SLE group exhibited a significantly higher incidence of major complications than control group (8.59% vs. 1.23%, P=0.005), with a relative risk of 1.081 (95% CI: 1.028-1.136). …”
