Lupus Registries and Longitudinal Studies
ShareCompartir
Overview
CDC previously funded five population-based registries designed to study established, US-based, populations diagnosed with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) or discoid lupus (skin lupus). CDC currently funds three longitudinal studies designed to follow people with lupus from three of the original registries.
History
Starting in 2004, the CDC funded a network of national lupus registries in selected counties of California, Georgia, Michigan, and New York, and at selected Indian Health Service Regions. Each site focused on one to two specific races/ethnic groups.
The Michigan and Georgia sites were the first of these registries and served as prototypes for the development of the later registries in this network. These CDC lupus registries were a unique and groundbreaking resource.
Publications that are the result of the registry research are available on the Lupus publications page.
Currently Funded Registries
The specific purpose of this current research is to
- Follow the treatment history, health care access, and natural history (i.e., severity, morbidity, mortality, etc.) of cohort members.
- Support state-of-the-art clinical, patient-reported, and biospecimen lupus repositories.
- Perform high-impact research investigations to advance understanding of racial, ethnic, and socioeconomic disparities in lupus.
- Support collaborative use of the repositories’ data for research investigations in California and nationally.

Previously Funded Registries
Of the following five previously funded registries, four (Georgia, Michigan, California, and New York) used similar research methods and were based in specific counties. The Indian Health Service (IHS) Lupus Registry Project was modeled after these other registries, but used both electronic and paper IHS medical records in portions of different IHS Regions.
California Lupus Surveillance Project
(California Department of Public Health)
The specific purpose of this retrospective descriptive study was to identify all cases of lupus among residents of San Francisco County and develop credible estimates of incidence and prevalence, especially among Hispanics and Asians. The work was done in collaboration with UCSF.

Indian Health Service Lupus Registry Project
The Indian Health Service (IHS) population-based registry was developed as a public health surveillance project in partnership with CDC. The objective of this study was to determine the prevalence and incidence of SLE in IHS patients in three US regions.
