Mean age of onset was 25.89\u2009\u00b1\u200910.81 years, while the median of disease duration from the onset of the disease till the last recorded visit was 26 months. The most common cumulative manifestations were arthritis (76.7%), malar rash (48.5%), leukopenia (45.7%), and photosensitivity (45.6%). A total of 33.1% of the patients had nephritis, and neuropsychiatric lupus was present in 6.4% of the patients. Secondary antiphospholipid syndrome was present in 11.5% of the patients. Antinuclear antibody and anti-double-stranded deoxyribonucleic acid were present in 1060\/1094 (96.9%) and 842\/1062 (79.3%) of the patients, respectively. Antiphospholipid antibodies were present in 266\/636 (41.8%) of the patients, anti-Smith in 54\/240 (22.5%), anti-SSA\/Ro in 61\/229 (20.4%), and anti-SSB\/La in 32\/277 (11.6%) of the patients. Male patients had a statistically higher prevalence of nephritis ( p\u2009=\u20090.01), whereas arthritis and alopecia were statistically higher in females ( p\u2009=\u20090.012 and p\u2009=\u20090.006, respectively). Patients with juvenile onset had a statistically higher prevalence of nephritis and seizures ( p\u2009&lt;\u20090.001 and p\u2009=\u20090.012, respectively).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Arthritis and malar rash represented the most common clinical manifestations. Male and juvenile-onset patients had a predilection toward a more severe disease. These results are in agreement with many studies conducted in the Middle East and worldwide. On the other hand, major organ involvement was exceptionally low, which is contradictory to several reports from the Middle East and across the globe.<\/jats:p>\n
