Using patient-reported measures to predict hospitalisation in a population-based lupus cohort.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

SLE is a multisystem autoimmune disease where periods of disease activity, often difficult to predict, can cause irreversible disease damage. This study aimed to develop a patient-centric predictive model using real-world data that can identify patients with SLE at a higher risk of hospitalisation compared with the general SLE population.
