The article discusses the publication of the Systemic Lupus International Collaborating Clinics (SLICC) classification criteria for systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), which was developed as an alternative to the criteria used by the American College of Rheumatology (ACR). Both the SLICC and ACR criter...
The 1971 preliminary criteria for the classification of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) were revised and updated to incorporate new immunologic knowledge and improve disease classification. The 1982 revised criteria include fluorescence antinuclear antibody and antibody to native DNA and Sm antigen. Some...
Sensitivity and specificity of individual criteria items were also assessed. RESULTS: In adult SLE (nine studies: 5236 patients, 1313 controls), SLICC'12 has higher sensitivity (94.6% vs. 89.6%) and similar specificity (95.5% vs. 98.1%) compared to ACR'97. For juvenile SLE (four studies: ...
Classification also facilitates genetic access for functional studies, as well as analyses of development, evolution and disease. Neuronal cell types must be defined by multiple criteria related to their morphological, physiological, molecular and connectional properties. Past efforts at neuronal classificat...
We compared 31 patients who did, and 31 patients who did not, fulfill 4 or more criteria for the classification of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) at the time of diagnosis. Twenty-one of the latter 31 patients eventually developed enough manifestations to fulfill classification criteria. Ten ...
Newer imaging techniques are challenging the traditional concepts of a non-erosive arthropathy that is outlined in the ACR diagnostic criteria for SLE. MRI and musculoskeletal US techniques have been applied extensively in RA to detail the underlying joint pathology, to monitor response to treatment ...
This review provides a comprehensive insight into the complex nature of SS, describing disease classification criteria, risk factors, and signaling pathways in immunity and inflammation. The developments described have the potential to inspire new ideas for SS research. 2. Classification criteria The ...
As lupus nephritis is the only manifestation of SLE defined by the 1982 American College of Rheumatology (ACR) criteria18 for which there are associated SNPs that reach genome wide significance in the SCIENtIfIC REPorTS | 7: 6236 | DOI:10.1038/s41598-017-06516-1 2 www.nature.com/...
The classification criteria for definite antiphospholipid syndrome (APS) include three laboratory criteria: lupus anticoagulant (LA), anti‐cardiolipin antibodies (aCLs), and anti‐β2‐glycoprotein I antibodies (aβ2GPIs) of the IgG or IgM isotype 1. Although the revised criteria of 2006 represented...
