TODO - Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is the paradigm of systemic
autoimmune diseases characterised by a wide spectrum of clinical
manifestations with an unpredictable relapsing-remitting course. The aim
of the present work was to identify current available clinical practice
guidelines (CPGs) for SLE, to provide their review and to identify
physicians' and patients' unmet needs. Twenty-three original guidelines
published between 2004 and 2017 were identified. Many aspects of disease
management are covered, including global disease management, lupus
nephritis and neuropsychiatric involvement, management of pregnancies,
vaccinations and comorbidities monitoring. Unmet needs relate with
disease management of some clinical manifestations and adherence to
treatment. Many patient's unmet needs have been identified starting with
faster diagnosis, need for more therapeutic options, guidelines on
lifestyle issues, attention to quality of life and adequate education.
