  2. aDisease duration was not available for two patients with DLE
  3. bNo patients with DLE had malar rash, arthritis, serositis, renal disorder, neurologic disorder, or immunological disorder
  4. cPositive anti-nuclear antibody (ANA) test was determined by history of ANA titers of at least 1:160, as determined by indirect immunofluorescence, or positive enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay
