To identify the frequency of serologic activity in the face of clinical quiescence in a large cohort of patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) followed prospectively in a single center.
In a prospective cohort study, patients serologically active but clinically quiescent (SACQ) in 3 consecutive clinic visits were analyzed for the development of a clinical flare over the subsequent year and were evaluated for predictive factors for flare before and during their SACQ period.
Forty-six episodes of SACQ went on to clinical flare within one year while 60 did not. No predictive factors for flare were found either during or before the SACQ period.
A significant population of patients with SLE are SACQ and must be followed over time and treated only on the basis of clinical criteria.
在一个单中心前瞻性随访的大型系统性红斑狼疮(SLE)患者队列中,确定临床静止期血清学活动的频率。
在一项前瞻性队列研究中,对连续3次门诊就诊时血清学活动但临床静止(SACQ)的患者进行分析,观察其后一年临床病情复发情况,并评估SACQ期之前及期间病情复发的预测因素。
46例SACQ患者在一年内出现临床病情复发,60例未复发。在SACQ期期间或之前均未发现病情复发的预测因素。
相当一部分SLE患者处于SACQ状态,必须长期随访,且仅根据临床标准进行治疗。
