About this trial
This case-control study aims to explore the relationship between specific blood indices (lymphocyte-monocyte ratio, neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio, platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio, and systemic immune-inflammatory index) and disease activity in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE).
The study includes 70 SLE patients and 70 healthy controls, matched for age and gender, recruited from Assiut University Hospital.
Disease activity is assessed using the SLEDAI-2K score, and blood indices are analyzed to determine correlations with disease activity.
Eligibility criteria
Qualifiers
Patients aged 18 years or older diagnosed with SLE according to the 2019 ACR/EULAR classification criteria.

Disqualifiers
• Patients with other autoimmune diseases (e.g., rheumatoid arthritis, Sjögren's syndrome).
