Comparative Performance of LFA‐REAL, SLEDAI, and BILAG for Detecting Clinically Meaningful Changes in Lupus Activity
LFA-REAL showed comparable performance relative to SLEDAI and BILAG in detecting clinician-rated change. There was a statistically significant advantage over SLEDAI for detection of improvement. These findings support its utility as a metric for disease activity in clinical practice and research.
