Background: Treatment of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is tailored according to the intensity SLE disease activity and aims achieve remission. Current definitions remission categories are mostly based on Disease Activity Index (SLEDAI), which has important limitations. The Score (SLE-DAS) a validated continuous score with higher accuracy in measuring sensitivity-to-change as compared SLEDAI 1 . SLE-DAS user-friendly its online calculator. Objectives: To derive validate cut-off values...
