dc.description.abstractPurpose The purpose of this paper is to determine the factors predictive of flares in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) patients.
dc.description.abstractMethods A case-control study nested within the Grupo Latino Americano De Estudio de Lupus (GLADEL) cohort was conducted. Flare was defined as an increase 4 points in the SLEDAI. Cases were defined as patients with at least one flare. Controls were selected by matching cases by length of follow-up. Demographic and clinical manifestations were systematically recorded by a common protocol. Glucocorticoid use was recorded as average daily dose of prednisone and antimalarial use as percentage of time on antimalarial and categorized as never (0%), rarely (>0-25%), occasionally (>25%-50%), commonly (?50%-75%) and frequently (?75%). Immunosuppressive drugs were recorded as used or not used. The association between demographic, clinical manifestations, therapy and flares was examined using univariable and multivariable conditional logistic regression models.
dc.description.abstractResults A total of 465 cases and controls were included. Mean age at diagnosis among cases and controls was 27.5 vs 29.9 years, p=0.003; gender and ethnic distributions were comparable among both groups and so was the baseline SLEDAI. Independent factors protective of flares identified by multivariable analysis were older age at diagnosis (OR=0.929 per every five years, 95% CI 0.869-0.975; p=0.004) and antimalarial use (frequently vs never, OR=0.722, 95% CI 0.522-0.998; p=0.049) whereas azathioprine use (OR=1.820, 95% CI 1.309-2.531; p<0.001) and SLEDAI post-baseline were predictive of them (OR=1.034, 95% CI 1.005-1.064; p=0.022).
dc.description.abstractConclusions In this large, longitudinal Latin American cohort, older age at diagnosis and more frequent antimalarial use were protective whereas azathioprine use and higher disease activity were predictive of flares.
