Correlation scale: very weak: 0–0.2; weak: 0.2–0.4; moderate: 0.4–0.6; strong: 0.6–0.8; very strong: 0.8–1.0. P<0.001 across all correlation analyses.
(A) Correlations between LFA-REAL ClinRO Total Score and SLE disease activity measures. LFA-REAL ClinRO; LFA-REAL PRO; SLEDAI-2K; BILAG; PGA.
(B) Correlations between LFA-REAL PRO Total Score and PRO measures. LFA-REAL PRO; SF-36; SF-36 PCS; Lupus QoL; FACIT-F. The LFA-REAL PRO increases with disease severity while the other PROs increase with improvement, accounting for the inverse correlations observed.
(C) Correlations between PGA and SLEDAI and BILAG.
