Developing and Evaluating a Laboratory‐Based Frailty Index (FI‐Lab) for the Prediction of Long‐Term Health Outcomes in Systemic Lupus Erythematosus
An FI constructed exclusively from routinely collected laboratory variables can measure frailty and predict adverse outcomes in SLE. It may serve as a convenient screening tool to detect subclinical frailty and promote early risk mitigation in this population.
