The median time from onset of #lupus symptoms or disease signs to a formal SLE diagnosis is an estimated 9 to 78 months! Such major diagnostic delay frequently leads to irreversible organ damage. A unified definition of diagnostic delay and identifying barriers are crucial.

#Pericarditis has a high recurrence rate in #Lupus (20%), especially in younger patients (<40yrs). Use of prednisone >20mg is associated with a high recurrence rate, in a dose-dependent matter. Yet another reason to limit GC exposure. #EULAR2025 #CardioRheum
