چکیده
The Hopkins lupus cohort is a longitudinal cohort study of over 2,000 systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) patients, who are seen quarterly. This review covers ten important clinically-relevant studies of the cohort. These studies include the function of prednisone in atherosclerosis and thrombosis, the preventive function of hydroxychloroquine, new insights into rare neurological manifestations, and treatment of flares with bursts of steroids rather than maintenance steroids.

متن کاملDisease activity patterns over time in patients with SLE: analysis of the Hopkins Lupus Cohort
OBJECTIVE To describe SLE disease activity patterns in the Hopkins Lupus Cohort. METHODS Disease activity was studied in 1886 patients followed-up for 1-28 years. Disease activity patterns were defined using (1) Physician Global Assessment (PGA) and (2) modified SLE Disease Activity Index (M-SLEDAI) as follows: long quiescent (LQ), M-SLEDAI=0/PGA=0 at all visits; relapsing-remitting (RR), per...
متن کاملAn Update on Treatment and Outcome of Lupus Nephritis in Children
Introduction Lupus nephritis (LN) is one of the main clinical presentations determining the course and outcome of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) in children. It occurs in 40–80% of pediatric patients at presentation and can be even higher during the later stages of the disease. The severity of the disease varies from mild glomerulonephritis to severe manifestations leading to end-stage rena...
