Baseline Characteristics

Among the 2,768 patients with active lupus nephritis (LN) analyzed, 66.4% were female, and the mean(SD) age at diagnosis of LN was 59.4(19.3) years.

Participant flow

The study included patients who satisfied the predefined inclusion and exclusion criteria, based on data make by Real World Data Inc. (currently JMDC Corporation) from January 1, 1985, to December 31, 2022, encompassing electronic medical records, Diagnosis Procedure Combination (DPC) data, and insurance claims data.

Adverse events

NA

Outcome measures

Following the diagnosis of lupus nephritis, seventy-four point nine percent of patients achieved remission of proteinuria, and among those who achieved remission, forty-nine point six percent experienced a relapse of proteinuria thereafter. Furthermore, fifty-six point zero percent of patients reached complete renal remission after diagnosis. The median survival times for achieving remission of proteinuria, relapse of proteinuria, and complete renal remission were eighty-nine days (ninety-five percent confidence interval: eighty-four to ninety-eight days), nine hundred ten days (eight hundred twelve to one thousand fifty-seven days), and three hundred thirty-four days (two hundred seventy to three hundred ninety-two days), respectively. Among clinical events observed after diagnosis, the highest incidence was diabetes mellitus (thirty-eight point seven percent), followed by osteoporosis (twenty-nine point six percent) and renal failure (twenty-five point six percent).
