The BILAG-2004 index had comparable responsiveness to SLEDAI-2000. There was some benefit in combining both indices. Dichotomisation of BILAG-2004 and SLEDAI-2000 leads to suboptimal performance. BST and sBST performed well on their own; sBST is recommended for its simplicity and clinical meaningfulness.
