Major Determinants of Prolonged Remission in Systemic Lupus Erythematosus: Retrospective Study Over a 41+ Year Period
Rheumatology (Oxford). 2022 Epub ahead of print
Retrospective observational study over a 41-year period finds complete remission (CR) in SLE to be associated with Caucasian race, older age at diagnosis, absence of renal involvement and absence of antiphospholipid syndrome.
Following publication of the definitions of remission in SLE (DORIS) consensus recommendations, in 2017, Durao-Carvalho, et al. re-analyse data from their 2016 cohort study to investigate predictors of sustained CR for at least 3 and 5 years.
