Hospitalization of individuals with systemic lupus erythematosus: characteristics and predictors of outcome
We performed a retrospective study of patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) admitted to hospital during a one-year period to describe characteristics associated with a poor outcome. There were 348 episodes of hospitalization of 223 individuals. The cause of admission was clinical flare of SLE (58%), infection (37%) and thromboembolic disease (8%). Readmission occurred in 35.8% and was associated with: active nephritis (HR 2.53, P < 0.01), flare of lupus (HR 2.0, P < 0.01) and more ACR criteria (HR 1.34 per extra criteria, P < 0.01). Individuals with multiple reasons for admission had a longer duration of stay [one = four days (2,6), two = five days (3,7) and three = 9.5 days (6.5,14.5), P < 0.01]. There were 11 deaths (3.2% of admissions). The deaths were due to infection in nine cases (four with concurrent active SLE). In multivariate modelling, the main predictors of death were: previous multiple admissions (OR 12.4, P < 0.01), the presence of infection (OR 7.3, P < 0.01) and youngerage (OR 0.93 perincrease of one year, P = 0.03). The presence of active lupus nephritis and multisystem disease makes readmission more likely and individuals with multiple problems at the time of admission have longer hospital stays. Young patients with frequent readmissions and coexistent infections are most likely to die

Factors influencing attitudes to violence against women
Attitudes toward men\u27s violence against women shape both the perpetration of violence against women and responses to this violence by the victim and others around her. For these reasons, attitudes are the target of violence-prevention campaigns. To improve understanding of the determinants of violence against women and to aid the development of violence-prevention efforts, this article reviews the factors that shape attitudes toward violence against women. It offers a framework with which to comprehend the complex array of influences on attitudes toward violent behavior perpetrated by men against women. Two clusters of factors, associated with gender and culture, have an influence at multiple levels of the social order on attitudes regarding violence. Further factors operate at individual, organizational, communal, or societal levels in particular, although their influence may overlap across multiple levels. This article concludes with recommendations regarding efforts to improve attitudes toward violence against women.<br /
