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

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

Correlation between Blood Indices and SLEDAI -2K score
The primary outcome of this study will be to assess the relationship between lymphocyte-monocyte ratios (LMR), neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratios (NLR), platelet-to-lymphocyte ratios (PLR), systemic immune-inflammatory index (SIRI) and systemic lupus erythematosus disease activity as measured by the Systemic Lupus Erythematosus Disease Activity Index 2000 (SLEDAI-2K). This will involve statistical analysis to determine if there is a significant correlation between these blood indices and the SLEDAI-2K score, indicating their potential utility as biomarkers for SLE activity.
