OBJECTIVE: To examine the life expectancy, standardized mortality ratios (SMRs), and causes of @entity204 in 6 groups of @entity1 from Hong Kong with different @entity627 . METHODS: @entity1 with a diagnosis of @entity1252 ( @entity1252 ), @entity309 ( @entity309 ), @entity1691 ( @entity1691 ), @entity5144 ( @entity5144 ), systemic @entity1333 (SV), or @entity785 ( @entity785 ) registered in 37 public hospitals between 1999 and 2008 were identified in the hospital registry. SMRs were calculated by comparing the mortality rate in @entity1 with each disease with that in the general population. Life expectancy was calculated by abridged life-table analysis, and the causes of @entity204 were compared. RESULTS: In 2008, data on 8,367 @entity309 , 5,243 @entity1252 , 2,154 @entity1691 , 1,636 SV, 778 @entity5144 , and 449 @entity785 @entity1 were available in our registry. The age- and sex-adjusted SMRs were highest for @entity1252 (5.25 [95% confidence interval 4.79-5.70]), @entity785 (3.94 [95% confidence interval 3.20-4.68]), and SV (2.64 [95% confidence interval 2.36-2.93]). In female @entity1 , the loss in life expectancy was greatest for @entity785 (34.1 years), SV (19.3 years), and @entity1252 (19.7 years). In male @entity1 , the loss in life expectancy was highest for SV (28.3 years), @entity1252 (27 years), and @entity785 (16 years). There were 2,486 deaths during the study period (1999-2008), and the principal causes were @entity281 (28%), @entity65 (18%), @entity5 (16%), and disease activity (7%). Infection was the leading cause of @entity204 in @entity1252 , @entity309 , @entity1691 , and @entity5144 , whereas deaths from disease-related activity and @entity65 were most frequent in @entity785 . @entity5 was the most common cause of @entity204 in SV. CONCLUSION: Our findings indicate that @entity1 with @entity1252 , @entity309 , @entity1691 , @entity5144 , SV, and @entity785 have increased mortality rates and reduced life expectancy. @entity1252 has the highest adjusted SMR, and female @entity785 @entity1 have the greatest loss in life expectancy. Infection is the leading cause of @entity204 , followed by @entity65 and @entity5 .
