Variables predictive of a higher probability of remission were the absence of mucocutaneous manifestations (HR 1.571, 95% CI 1.064\u20132.320), absence of renal involvement (HR 1.487, 95% CI 1.067\u20132.073), and absence of hematologic involvement (HR 1.354, 95% CI 1.005\u20131.825); the use of immunosuppressive drugs before the baseline visit (HR 1.468, 95% CI 1.025\u20132.105); and a lower SLEDAI score at entry (HR 1.028, 95% CI 1.006\u20131.051 per 1-unit decrease). These variables were predictive of LDAS: older age at entry, per 5-year increase (HR 1.050, 95% CI 1.004\u20131.098); absence of mucocutaneous manifestations (HR 1.401, 95% CI 1.016\u20131.930) and
