Abstract

Highlights: There was not a significant difference in cumulative incidence rate of thrombotic events between patients with and without steroid pulse therapy. Stratified analysis also showed no significant difference in thrombotic events between patients with and without Steroid pulse therapy. Steroid pulse therapy was not associated with an increased risk of thrombotic events in lupus nephritis.
