Ann Rheum Dis 2010;69:1603–11. Our objective was to compare the sensitivity for SLE classification between the ACR 1997 and the SLICC 2012 criteria sets in a real-life, multicenter, international SLE population. Clinical Criteria Acute Cutaneous Lupus OR Subacute Cutaneous Lupus. The criteria for SLE using ACR 97 requires that the patient present four of the eleven criteria, but the SLICC revised and validated those criteria in 2012 proposing that the patient meet four of the seventeen criteria being at least one clinical criterion and one criterion included in the diagnosis. SLICC criteria had increased the sensitivity of ACR criteria Downloaded on December 12, 2020 from www.jrheum.org. In the SLICC system, a patient must meet at least four criteria, including at least one abnor-mal clinical criterion and one abnormal In this multicenter cohort, clinical manifestations that could help to distinguish early SLE from SLE- Imperial. The SLICC 2012 criteria yielded the best sensitivity, while the ACR 1997 criteria had the best specificity. Loss of SLE classification by SLICC criteria was primarily due to the combination of malar rash and photosensitivity into a single SLICC criterion (53/85; 62.4% of SLICC criteria but the 2015 ACR/SLICC revised criteria can be fulfilled exactly by it. Therapeutic opportunities in systemic lupus erythematosus: state of the art and prospects for the new decade. Do you agree with the diagnosis of SLE in a young man with leukopenia of 3200/mm3 and 22% of lymphocyte, thrombocytopenia of 76,000/mm3 along with hemoglobin of 9 gr/dl and reticulocyte count of 12% without If at least four criteria are present, from which at least one is clinical and at least one immunologic. SI. Overall, it resulted in a lower number of misclassified cases5. Misclassified cases. SLICC criteria exhibited higher global accuracy at both observation periods. SLICC criteria with the 1997 ACR criteria in our juvenile SLE patients. Acceptable endpoints should be used in order to assess 69 efficacy. Classification criteria have been derived for SLE, mainly for research purposes, to achieve population homogeneity among research studies. Results Of 3575 subjects classified with SLE under at least one system, 3312 (92.6%) were classified as SLE by both systems (SLE both), 85 only by ACR criteria (SLE ACR-only) and 178 only by SLICC criteria (SLE SLICC-only).Of 440 subjects meeting 3 ACR criteria, 33.9% (149/440) were SLE SLICC-only, while 66.1% (n=291, designated ILE) did not meet the SLICC classification criteria. While achieving their goal of increasing sensitivity, the SLICC criteria have lower specificity than the 1997 ACR criteria 9, 10. The Systemic Lupus Collaborating Clin-ics (SLICC) international group undertook the evaluation SLICC 2012 criteria performed better than EULAR/ACR 2019 criteria. Last year, we performed a similar evaluation of the 2019 EULAR/ACR criteria by using data from Swedish patients of which the majority had Caucasian ethnicity. The Systemic Lupus International Collaborating Clinics (SLICC) group proposed revised classification criteria for systemic lupus erythematosus (SLICC-2012 criteria). Methods Cases were JSLE and controls were patients with other rheumatic diseases, attending a tertiary center in the past 10 years. SLICC criteria yielded higher sensitivity (97% versus 83%) but lower specificity (84% versus 96%) than ACR 1997 criteria in the original validation set [7]. In subse-quent studies in adult and cSLE, SLICC higher sensitiv-ity was also found, especially for early SLE, however, results were conflicting regarding specificity [13–20]. Results: As shown in Table 1, of the 513 patients with physician validated SLE present in the CLD who satisfied both the ACR and SLICC classification criteria, the ACR-based EHR algorithm detected 79% (398/513) as having SLE, while the SLICC-based algorithm detected 91% (467/513). Although the 2012 SLICC criteria addressed some of the shortcomings of the previous ACR criteria (e.g., the addition of mucocutaneous and neuropsychiatric manifestations, hypocomplementemia and anti-nuclear antibody [ANA] tests) and offered more refined criteria definitions, their specificity was lower than the 1997 ACR criteria. Nine (10.6%) met ≥4 SLICC clinical criteria, but were excluded by SLICC cri-teria due to an absence of immunological criteria. early SLE were not identified as having early SLE with use of the SLICC criteria compared to the ACR criteria (16.5% versus 33.9%), but the ACR criteria demonstrated higher specificity than the SLICC criteria (91.6% versus 82.4%). Discoid rash Raised erythematous patches with keratotic scaling, follicular plugging, and atrophic scarring 3. Separation of different hematological manifestations in the SLICC 2012 criteria might have contributed to the higher performance of this criteria set. Concerning the EULAR/ACR total score cut-off point being compared (whether ≥10 or ≥ 13), application of SLICC criteria still better scored in cut-off point accuracy both at first visit … SLICC criteria is considered positive in two cases: 1. SLICC, Systemic Lupus International Collaborating Clinics/American College of Rheumatology damage index. Data were retrospectively collected, to establish the ACR and SLICC criteria fulfilled, at first visit and within one year of follow-up. We concluded that SLICC-12 had advantages compared with older criteria with regard to diagnostic sensitivity, whereas we found the diagnostic specificity to be surprisingly low.3. 1 The committee set ambitious goals for the new criteria… (SLICC) network, devoted to clinical research in SLE, pre-sented a new set of classification criteria in 2012 (SLICC-12) based on the evaluation of almost 1,400 patient scenar-ios [10].

Rheumatology researchers referred to both the 1997 ACR revised criteria and 2012 Systemic Lupus International Collaborating Clinics (SLICC) criteria when developing the new criteria, said Martin Aringer, MD, steering committee co-chair and chief of rheumatology at University Medical Center Carl Gustav Carus in Dresden, Germany. validated the ACR criteria. The SLICC-12 criteria contain additional clinical and The SLICC criteria are validated criteria for making the diagnosis of lupus. Collaborating Clinics (SLICC) network presented a set of criteria based on almost 1400 patient scen-arios, including a derivation and a validation of the new criteria as well as of the 1997 ACR classifica-tion.2,3 Compared with the 1982 and 1997 ACR cri-teria, SLICC-12 contains additional clinical and Their work included both a derivation and a validation of the new set of criteria as well as of ACR-97. In 2012, the Systemic Lupus International Collaborating Clinics (SLICC) developed and validated new SLE classification criteria.4 The SLICC 2012 criteria performed better than the revised 1997 ACR criteria in terms of sensitivity (97% vs 83%), but were less specific (84% vs 96%).4 Table 6.
