Mashup Score: 4
Introduction Lupus nephritis (LN) is more prevalent in patients with SLE of Asian ethnicity than in Caucasian patients. Belimumab became available in Japan in 2017 to treat patients with SLE, including those with LN. In the BLISS-LN trial ([NCT01639339][1]), belimumab showed a favourable effect on renal outcomes when combined with standard therapy (ST) starting at the induction treatment phase…

Objective SLE and lupus nephritis (LN) have significant impacts on the health-related quality of life of patients living with the condition, which are important to capture from the patient’s perspective using patient-reported outcomes (PROs). The objectives of this study were to evaluate the content validity of PROs commonly used in SLE and LN (36-Item Short Form Health Survey (SF-36), Functional…

Background Complement activation has been associated with adverse pregnancy outcomes (APO) in SLE. Pregnant women with SLE were studied to evaluate whether complement dysregulation within the first two pregnancy trimesters predicts APO. Methods Pregnant women fulfilled classification criteria for SLE. APO included neonatal death, preterm delivery before 36 weeks and small for gestational age…

Mashup Score: 0Major infections in newly diagnosed systemic lupus erythematosus: an inception cohort study - 2 year(s) ago
Objective To evaluate the risk of major infections and the relationship between major infections and mortality in patients with newly diagnosed SLE. Methods A newly diagnosed (<3 months) hospitalised Systemic Lupus Inception Cohort (hSLIC) in our centre during 1 January 2013 and 1 November 2020 was established. All patients were followed up for at least 1 year or until death. Patient baseline...

Objective This retrospective analysis evaluated the prognostic value of renal response status 2 years after biopsy-proven lupus nephritis (LN) for the prediction of long-term renal outcomes. Methods Eligible patients with SLE as per American College of Rheumatology or Systemic Lupus International Collaborating Clinics criteria and biopsy-proven class III, IV, V or mixed LN were identified from…

Mashup Score: 0Medium-term impact of the SARS-CoV-2 mRNA vaccine against disease activity in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus - 2 year(s) ago
Objectives Numerous case reports have referred to new onset or flare of SLE after SARS-CoV-2 messenger RNA (mRNA) vaccines. Several observational studies showed that the short-term flare rate of SLE after SARS-CoV-2 vaccination is low. However, well-controlled clinical surveys are unavailable and the medium-term impact of the SARS-CoV-2 mRNA vaccines against the flare of SLE is uncertain….

Mashup Score: 0Predictors of increase in chronicity index and of kidney function impairment at repeat biopsy in lupus nephritis - 2 year(s) ago
Objectives Based on available data, the histological predictors of long-term outcome of lupus nephritis (LN) are not clearly defined. Aims of this retrospective study were: (i) to evaluate the change of chronicity index from the first to second kidney biopsy and to find the predictors of chronicity index increase and (ii) to detect the clinical/histological features at first and at second kidney…
