In addition, we compared the BILD to another recently developed patient-reported measure, the Lupus Damage Index Questionnaire (LDIQ), which was designed as a written survey.<h4>Methods</h4>A sample of 81 patients from 2 university-affiliated SLE clinics was used to test the criterion validity of the BILD and the LDIQ.
