Optimising surveillance and outcomes in SLE

The overall purpose of this project is to contribute to optimization of the use of current therapies in SLE, propose new therapies, increase awareness regarding non-pharmacological interventions such as smoking cessation, and develop tools for better surveillance of the disease and for prediction of disease course, response to therapies, and long-term outcome.
