Abstract

Abstract : Background: Culminating evidence over the past decade regarding management of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) called for an update of the 2008 EULAR recommendations for the treatment of the disease. Objectives: Systematic review of the literature (SLR) to inform the 2019 EULAR recommendations for the management of SLE. Methods: SLR of Pubmed from 01/2007 to 12/2017 for questions (selected through Delphi excercise) regarding: i) efficacy/safety of different drugs used in SLE, ii) treatment of specific manifestations, iii) monitoring and treatment goals and iv) comorbidities and adjunct therapy. Evidence was categorised based on design and validity of available studies [ Oxford Centre for Evidence-Based Medicine 2011 Levels of Evidence (LoE )] and strength of statements was graded [ Grading of recommendation (GoR), assessment, development and evaluations, GRADE )]. Results: Main topics supported by strong evidence base included: Association of hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) use with favourable outcomes (LoE 1b, GoR A), belimumab for extrarenal disease (LoE 1a, GoR A), efficacy of antimalarials in skin disease (LoE 1a, GoR A), mycophenolate mofetil (MMF) for induction and maintenance therapy of lupus nephritis (LN) and cyclophosphamide (CYC) in severe LN (LoE 1b, GoR A). Weak evidence supported the value of repeat kidney biopsy in refractory LN (LoE 4, GoR C), all second-line agents for skin disease (LoE 4, GoR C) and efficacy of most first and second-line treatments for thrombocytopenia (LoE 4, GoR C). Moderate LoE was found for all other questions (Table ). Conclusion: A SLR for the treatment of SLE found the highest LoE for benefits of HCQ, efficacy of belimumab for extrarenal disease and MMF and IV-CYC in LN.
