Through this systematic review of literature and meta-analysis, we wished to fill this gap. PubMed, EMBASE, Web of Science, African Journals Online, and Global Index Medicus as well as references of retrieved papers were searched to select studies addressing SLE in Native sub-Saharan Africans and published between January 1, 2008 and October 7, 2018.
