Abstract

Objectives The lupus low disease activity state (LLDAS) allows for certain clinical and/or serological activity of SLE, provided overall disease activity does not exceed predefined cut-offs. This study aimed to evaluate the outcomes of patients who achieved LLDAS with clinical activity, serological activity only or neither clinical nor serological activity. Methods Patients with SLE enrolled in a prospective multinational cohort from March 2013 to December 2020 who were in LLDAS at least once were included. Visits that fulfilled both LLDAS and Definition of Remission in SLE (DORIS) criteria were excluded. Results 2099 patients were included, with median follow-up of 3.5 (IQR 1.3-5.8) years. ..
