The epidemiology of rheumatic conditions is characterized by its diversity in hospital setting. The scarcity of some conditions such as systemic lupus erythematosus, psoriatic arthritis, and ankylosing spondylitis has been confirmed in this cohort. Key Points • Twenty-three thousand five hundred and fifty patients were included in the study • Rheumatoid arthritis was the most frequent (51.61%) chronic inflammatory rheumatism • Contrary to studies from Europe and America, systemic lupus seems rare in our series.
