The presented clinical core dataset and its research extension are designed to improve SLE patient care and facilitate collaborative research by ensuring the comparability of datasets and cohort descriptions. The aim of this EULAR taskforce by Mucke et al. was to define a core set of essential items for the comprehensive care of SLE patients in clinical practice, with an extension for vital elements required for translational and observational research.
This initiative lays the foundation for the establishment of a global SLE data space and has the potential to expedite the implementation of personalised medicine in SLE care. The core data set is intended to improve patient care by ensuring all crucial elements for managing SLE are documented.
