Impact of belimumab on organ damage in systemic lupus erythematosus

Arthritis Care Res (Hoboken). 2022 Epub ahead of print doi: 10.1002/acr.24901

Review of clinical trial and real-world data on the effects of belimumab on organ damage in adult patients with SLE shows that belimumab reduces key drivers of organ damage, decreases organ damage progression and, in those with lupus nephritis (LN), decreases renal-related events.

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.
