Journal ArticleDOI
Cutting Edge: A Role for B Lymphocyte Stimulator in Systemic Lupus Erythematosus
Jun Zhang,Viktor Roschke,Kevin P. Baker,Zheng Wang,Graciela S. Alarcón,Barri J. Fessler,Holly M. Bastian,Robert P. Kimberly,Tong Zhou +8 more
TL;DR: The results suggest that BLyS may be a useful marker for early activation of an autoimmune diathesis and likely plays a critical role in triggering activation of self-Ag-driven autoimmune B cells in human SLE and may provide an effective therapeutic target in systemic autoimmunity.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effect of hydroxychloroquine on the survival of patients with systemic lupus erythematosus: data from LUMINA, a multiethnic US cohort (LUMINA L)
Graciela S. Alarcón,Gerald McGwin,Ana M. Bertoli,Barri J. Fessler,Jaime Calvo-Alén,Holly M. Bastian,Luis M. Vilá,John D. Reveille +7 more
TL;DR: Hydxychloroquine, which overall is well tolerated by patients with SLE, has a protective effect on survival which is evident even after taking into consideration the factors associated with treatment decisions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Systemic lupus erythematosus in three ethnic groups: XVI. Association of hydroxychloroquine use with reduced risk of damage accrual.
Barri J. Fessler,Graciela S. Alarcón,Gerald McGwin,Jeffrey M. Roseman,Holly M. Bastian,Alan Friedman,Bruce A. Baethge,Luis M. Vilá,John D. Reveille +8 more
TL;DR: Findings indicate that, after adjustment for propensity to receive HCQ, HCQ usage is independently associated with a reduced risk of damage accrual in SLE patients who had not yet accrued damage at the time of treatment initiation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Systemic lupus erythematosus in three ethnic groups. XII. Risk factors for lupus nephritis after diagnosis
Holly M. Bastian,Jeffrey M. Roseman,Gerald McGwin,Graciela S. Alarcón,Alan Friedman,Barri J. Fessler,Bruce A. Baethge,John D. Reveille +7 more
TL;DR: Hispanic and African-American ethnicities and antibodies were shown to be signi” cant predictors of the occurrence of LN, and Sociodemographic,clinical and immunologic/immunogenetic factors seem to be predictive of its occurrence.
Journal ArticleDOI
Systemic lupus erythematosus in three ethnic groups. VIII. Predictors of early mortality in the LUMINA cohort
Graciela S. Alarcón,Gerald McGwin,Holly M. Bastian,Jeffrey M. Roseman,Jeffrey R. Lisse,Barri J. Fessler,Alan Friedman,John D. Reveille +7 more
TL;DR: Disease activity, disease damage, and poverty appear to be the most important determinants of mortality in this multiethnic US cohort of patients with systemic lupus erythematosus patients.
