Measure accumulated damage since onset of lupus
The systemic lupus international collaborating clinics American College of Rheumatology Damage index (SLICC/ACR DI) was developed to quantify damage that has occurred since onset of lupus.
It has been shown to be a valid measure for damage and correlates with mortality.
In this index, damage is defined a non-reversible change, not related to active inflammation, occurring since the onset of lupus, ascertained by clinical assessment and present for at least 6 months. 'Repeat' episodes mean at least 6 months apart to score 2. The same lesion cannot be scored twice.
