SLICC ACR damage index

What disease activity indices are used in SLE? What is the SLICC/ACR damage index?

In lupus, disease burden can be measured by disease activity or damage. The disease activity measures give an assessment of the degree of active inflammation, whereas the damage scores give an idea of the downstream effects of the disease or therapies. These are not routinely used in clinical practice. There are many types of disease activity scoring systems.
