Only half of the women with SLE in our study had guideline-congruent cervical cancer screening. Current immunosuppression exposure, rather than SLE disease activity, was associated with an increased odds of being up to date according to ASCCP guidelines. This study suggests the need for increased awareness and consensus among interdisciplinary providers regarding SLE-specific cervical cancer screening.
