Ability of Inflammatory and Regulatory Soluble Mediators to Forecast Impending Clinical Disease Flare and Inform a Refined Lupus Flare Prediction Index in a Confirmatory Cohort of SLE Patients

This study evaluated whether immune mediators predicts lupus flares. Using plasma samples and machine learning algorithm, 31 mediators ditinguished pre-flare from stable state. A refined lupus flare prediction index achieved high sensitivity and specificity supporting its use as a predictive tool for early flare detection and lupus management.

Pro-inflammatory adaptive cytokines and shed tumor necrosis factor receptors are elevated preceding systemic lupus erythematosus disease flare

This study evaluated the changes in plasma concentrations of soluble mediators that precede clinically defined disease flares. Findings showed that shift in inflammatory and regualatory cytokines precedes lupus flares, suggesting that soluble mediators can serve as predictive biomakers, enabling earlier intervention and more precise monitoring of disease activity.
