A Spatiotemporal Analysis of Organ‐Specific Lupus Flares in Relation to Atmospheric Variables and Fine Particulate Matter Pollution

Abstract

To identify potential clusters of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) organ‐specific flares and their relationship to fine particulate matter pollution (PM2.5), temperature, ozone concentration, resultant wind, relative humidity, and barometric pressure in the Hopkins Lupus Cohort, using spatiotemporal cluster analysis.
