Migraine is a painful neurological condition characterized by severe pain on one or both sides of the head. It may be linked to changes in the gut microbiota, which are influenced by antibiotic use and other factors. Dysbiosis, which develops and persists as a result of earlier antibiotic therapy, changes the composition of the intestinal flora, and can lead to the development of various diseases such as metabolic disorders, obesity, hematological malignancies, neurological or behavioral disorders, and migraine.

Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a systemic autoimmune disease characterized by pathological immune complexes and various autoantibodies. Detectable pathological autoantibodies produced by plasma cells differentiated from B cells play a significant role in the establishment of clinical diagnosis, classification, and differential diagnosis as well as assessing the disease activity during patients’ follow-up. Autoantibody determination is very important in

Background/objectives: The European League Against Rheumatism (EULAR)/American College of Rheumatology (ACR) 2019 classification criteria for systemic lupus erythematosus system showed high specificity, while attaining also high sensitivity. We hereby analysed the performance of the individual criteria items and their contribution to the overall performance of the criteria.

Methods: We combined the EULAR/ACR derivation and validation cohorts for a total of 1197 systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and n=1074 non-SLE patients with a variety of conditions mimicking SLE, such as other autoimmune diseases, and calculated the sensitivity and specificity for antinuclear antibodies (ANA) and the 23 specific criteria items.

Article Synopsis
  • The EULAR/ACR 2019 Classification Criteria for systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) show high sensitivity and specificity, especially among diverse demographic groups.
  • Validation involved a large cohort from 21 SLE centers across 16 countries, evaluating criteria effectiveness against older classifications (SLICC 2012 and ACR 1982/1997).
  • Results indicate that the EULAR/ACR criteria outperform other criteria, especially in early disease stages, across various sexes and races, highlighting their robustness in diagnosing SLE.

Objective: To develop new classification criteria for systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) jointly supported by the European League Against Rheumatism (EULAR) and the American College of Rheumatology (ACR).

Methods: This international initiative had four phases. 1) Evaluation of antinuclear antibody (ANA) as an entry criterion through systematic review and meta-regression of the literature and criteria generation through an international Delphi exercise, an early patient cohort, and a patient survey.
