Oral lesions of systemic lupus erythematosus: A collaborative Latin American study
CONCLUSION: Oral lesions of SLE exhibit a variety of clinical and histopathological features. A key point in diagnosis is that unusual oral changes without an obvious local cause may indicate a possible systemic condition presenting with oral lesions. A multidisciplinary approach, which includes regular oral examination, is warranted to identify oral lesions and provide treatment.PMID:38686816 | DOI:10.1177/09612033241252042 (Source: Lupus)

Risk factors for hospitalization in Mexican patients with systemic lupus erythematosus
CONCLUSIONS: Disease activity was the most common reason for hospitalization; kidney, constitutional, and hematological factors were associated with hospitalization; and the use of antimalarial was a protective factor for hospitalization.PMID:38670796 | DOI:10.1177/09612033241249791 (Source: Lupus)

Risk stratification for infection during immunosuppressive therapy in patients with lupus nephritis: A nested case-control study
CONCLUSION: A risk stratification was built to predict the risk of infection in patients with LN undergoing immunosuppressive therapy.PMID:38662532 | DOI:10.1177/09612033241248722 (Source: Lupus)

Addition of constitutional symptoms to the SLEDAI-2K improves overall disease activity assessment: A pilot study
CONCLUSION: The addition of constitutional symptoms to SLEDAI-2K, particularly fatigue, resulted in a marginal increase in its correlation with PGA, and new constitutional symptoms associated with higher SLED-O and PGA scores. As fatigue is subjective and difficult to attribute to SLE, its validity and inter-rater reliability in scoring remains uncertain. The clinical utility of SLED-R remains unclear, and further studies of its validity and reliability are needed.PMID:38664230 | DOI:10.1177/09612033241249785 (Source: Lupus)

Long-term incidence, risk factors and complications for venous thromboembolism in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus
CONCLUSIONS: VTE affected 12.8% of patients with SLE at six times the VTE rate in controls with aPL as the strongest, but not the only risk factor in SLE. The risk of PH was increased in both groups following PE, but VTE did not associate with an increased risk of arterial events.PMID:38655753 | DOI:10.1177/09612033241247359 (Source: Lupus)

Induction treatment for lupus nephritis at a high-complexity hospital in Chile
CONCLUSION: This study did not find significant differences in the clinical response to IVC or MMF at 6 months. Future prospective studies are required to determine the optimal induction therapy for LN, especially in Latin populations.PMID:38652826 | DOI:10.1177/09612033241249574 (Source: Lupus)
