Résumé

Neuropsychiatric Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (NPSLE) is a complex manifestation of Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) characterized by a wide range of neurological and psychiatric symptoms. This study aims to elucidate the patterns of Perfusion-Weighted MRI (PWI) in NPSLE patients compared to SLE patients without neuropsychiatric manifestations (non-NPSLE) and healthy controls (HCs). A systematic search was conducted in PubMed/Medline, Embase, Web of Science, and Scopus for studies utilizing PWI in NPSLE patients published through April 14, 2024. Cerebral blood flow (CBF) data from NPSLE, non-NPSLE patients, and HCs were extracted for meta-analysis, using standardized mean difference (SMD) as an estimate measure. For studies lacking sufficient data for inclusion, CBF, cerebral blood volume (CBV), and mean transit time (MTT) were reviewed qualitatively. Our review included eight observational studies employing PWI techniques, including dynamic susceptibility contrast (DSC) and arterial spin labeling (ASL). The meta-analysis of NPSLE compared to non-NPSLE incorporated four studies, encompassing 104 NPSLE patients and 90 non-NPSLE patients. The results revealed an SMD of -1.42 (95% CI: -2.85-0.00, I PWI reveals informative patterns of cerebral perfusion, showing a significant reduction in mean CBF in NPSLE patients compared to non-NPSLE patients. Our qualitative synthesis highlights these changes, particularly in the frontal and temporal lobes. However, the existing data exhibits considerable heterogeneity and limitations.

BACKGROUND BACKGROUND
Neuropsychiatric Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (NPSLE) is a complex manifestation of Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) characterized by a wide range of neurological and psychiatric symptoms. This study aims to elucidate the patterns of Perfusion-Weighted MRI (PWI) in NPSLE patients compared to SLE patients without neuropsychiatric manifestations (non-NPSLE) and healthy controls (HCs).
MATERIAL AND METHODS METHODS
A systematic search was conducted in PubMed/Medline, Embase, Web of Science, and Scopus for studies utilizing PWI in NPSLE patients published through April 14, 2024. Cerebral blood flow (CBF) data from NPSLE, non-NPSLE patients, and HCs were extracted for meta-analysis, using standardized mean difference (SMD) as an estimate measure. For studies lacking sufficient data for inclusion, CBF, cerebral blood volume (CBV), and mean transit time (MTT) were reviewed qualitatively.
RESULTS RESULTS
Our review included eight observational studies employing PWI techniques, including dynamic susceptibility contrast (DSC) and arterial spin labeling (ASL). The meta-analysis of NPSLE compared to non-NPSLE incorporated four studies, encompassing 104 NPSLE patients and 90 non-NPSLE patients. The results revealed an SMD of -1.42 (95% CI: -2.85-0.00, I
CONCLUSION CONCLUSIONS
PWI reveals informative patterns of cerebral perfusion, showing a significant reduction in mean CBF in NPSLE patients compared to non-NPSLE patients. Our qualitative synthesis highlights these changes, particularly in the frontal and temporal lobes. However, the existing data exhibits considerable heterogeneity and limitations.
