OBJECTIVE: To identify factors associated with development of systemic lupus
erythematosus (SLE) among patients evaluated at a tertiary care Lupus Center for
potential SLE. METHODS: We identified patients first seen at the Brigham and
Women's Hospital Lupus Center between 1 January 1992 and 31 December 2012 and
thought to have potential SLE by a board-certified rheumatologist. All had 1-3
SLE ACR criteria at initial visit and > 2 follow-up visits ? 3 months apart. We
reviewed medical records through 15 May 2013 for: SLE signs and symptoms,
autoimmune serologies, prescriptions and diagnoses by board-certified
rheumatologists. Bivariable analyses and multivariable logistic regression models
were used to identify independent predictors of developing SLE. RESULTS: Two
hundred and sixty four patients met inclusion criteria. At initial visit, mean
age was 39.2 (SD 12.4) years, 94% were female and 67% white. Mean number of SLE
ACR criteria was 2.7 (SD 1.0) and 88% were antinuclear antibody (ANA) positive at
initial consultation. Mean follow-up time was 6.3 (SD 4.3) years and 67% were
prescribed hydroxychloroquine in follow-up. At most recent visit, 56 (21%) had
been diagnosed with SLE; 47 (18%) were thought not to have SLE and 161 (61%) were
still considered to have potential SLE. In multivariable regression models, oral
ulcers (OR 2.40, 95% CI 1.03-5.58), anti-dsDNA (OR 2.59, 95% CI 1.25-5.35) and
baseline proteinuria or cellular casts (OR 16.20, 95% CI 1.63-161.02) were
independent predictors of developing SLE. The most common other final diagnoses
included fibromyalgia, Sjögren's syndrome, mixed connective tissue disease and
cutaneous lupus. CONCLUSION: Among patients with potential SLE at initial
consultation, 21% were diagnosed with definite SLE within 6.3 years. Oral ulcers,
anti-dsDNA and proteinuria or cellular casts were independent predictors of
developing definite SLE. A better means of accurately identifying those who will
develop SLE among those presenting with potential disease is necessary.
