Easy-BILAG: a new tool for simplified recording of SLE disease activity using BILAG-2004 index

Rheumatology (Oxford). 2022. Epub ahead of print doi: 10.1093/rheumatology/keab883

Easy-BILAG is a high-accuracy, time-efficient tool for recording BILAG-2004 disease activity in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE).

Disease activity measurements in SLE are necessary for optimal patient care, treat-to-target approaches and clinical guidelines. However, administrative burden and potential frequency of errors with the current comprehensive disease activity instrument (BILAG-2004) limits its use in routine practice.
