Predictors of organ damage in Systemic Lupus Erythematosus in the Asia Pacific region: A systematic review.

Predictors of organ damage in SLE in Asia Pacific are similar to other regions. Whilst glucocorticoid use is a modifiable risk factor for organ damage, the impact of immunosuppressives and biological therapies needs further investigation. Effective strategies in early disease are needed to minimise initial organ damage as it predicts subsequent damage accrual.
