#POS0114 #EULAR2022 Can we identify #lupus patients better in electronic health records? Barbero et al. used machine learning and developed a model to distinguish SLE diagnosis vs "near-misses". AUC: 0.90. Further validation can help future epidemiological studies @RheumNow https://t.co/vpLH8SWlWm

👉13% w/severe heme dz: TMA, MAS, plt < 30K, hemolysis hgb < 8
👉heme issues preceded SLE dx in 1/3 of pts
👉>50% pts had severe heme flare
👉0 deaths #EULAR2022 @rheumnow POS0116

#POS0086PARE #EULAR2022 What #lupus symptoms/target mattered most to the patients?A survey in 342 found reduction in joint pain, rash & non-joint pain as most important. Reduced infection risk was the least. Important to be aware in assessing patients & guide studies @RheumNow https://t.co/pGXxklj1mt

#OP0002 #EULAR2022 What immune tests to monitor during pregnancy in #lupus? A meta-analysis found:
💠32% had a flare (new IS or Pred>9mg/d)
💠⬇️C3 and/or C4 in 1st Trimester predicted LN or SLE flare
Worth checking C3/C4 in each trimester @RheumNow https://t.co/fPEXwReK7u https://t.co/BX6fzKzfvC
