Detailed Description
BACKGROUND AND RATIONALE
- Nowadays no valid classification system for SLE-related arthritis/tenosynovitis exists.
- Data are not sufficient to establish an SLE-specific pattern of inflammatory involvement, similar to the pattern known for other inflammatory diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis (RA).
- Erosive arthritis associated with SLE has been typically related to patients that meet the criteria both for SLE and RA - syndrome known as Rhupus; but only a few data exist that classify erosive involvement of articular inflammation of pure SLE.
- No research exists that links the articular inflammatory pathology associated with SLE with its effect on quality of life (degree of fatigue and HAQ) or with the rest of manifestations and comorbidities associated with SLE.
- Being able to predict the development of SLE-related arthritis/tenosynovitis would be very useful when it comes to establishing the clinical management, treatment and prognosis of patients with SLE.
OBJECTIVES
GENERAL:
- To describe the kind of inflammatory articular involvement (synovitis/erosions/bone oedema/tenosynovitis) (6,7) and its frequency in patients affected by pure SLE (excluding Rhupus, mixed connective tissue disease, overlap syndromes).
SPECIFIC:
- To propose, if possible, an SLE-specific typical pattern of articular involvement.
- To establish clinical and serological differences (extra-articular manifestations, autoimmunity, treatment received, comorbidities and quality of life) according to the type of inflammatory articular involvement and in comparison to healthy individuals.
- To evaluate the possible link between SLEDAI/SLICC scores and the involvement using MRI.
HYPOTHESIS
- Patients with SLE have a specific inflammatory articular disease.
- A SLE-specific pattern of articular involvement exists.
- There are clinical and serological differences depending on the different patterns of articular involvement in SLE.

Description
Inclusion Criteria:
Patients affected by SLE (1982 revised criteria) with scheduled visits to the SLE specialized medical office at Hospital del Mar:
- (pain+ / synovitis +): SLE patients with inflammatory pain and synovitis determined by the practitioner during physical examination of radius and ulna carpal joint and/or carpus and/or metacarpophalangeal joint and/or IP . Defining synovitis as pain and inflammation and/or deformity (present or existing over the past year) included in the clinical history
- (pain + / synovitis -) SLE patients with inflammatory pain without determined synovitis . Current (or over the past year) pain in radius and ulna carpal joint and/or carpus and/or metacarpophalangeal joint and/or IP, with no synovitis
- (pain - / synovitis -) SLE patients without inflammatory pain with normal physical examination currently or over the past year
- Control patients, without SLE nor immediate relatives affected by systemic inflammatory diseases, who lack articular pain and have blood test with no elevation APR or autoimmunity +)
Exclusion Criteria:
- Jaccoud's arthropaty
- RF + and/or ACPA +
- Incomplete SLE, MCTD, overlap syndromes
- Hand surgery
