Disclosures
Intellectual Properties of Rush University Medical Center:
• LupusPRO
• Lupus Impact Tracker (LIT)
• Body Image in Lupus Scale (BILS)
• Simple Disease Assessment for People with Lupus Erythematosus (SIMPLE)
Facts
PRO is a core outcome for SLE.
PRO are not routinely included in care or clinical trials in SLE
SLE Patient report areas of unmet needs
SLE Patient report minimizing symptoms to physicians
Most physicians unaware of SLE patients minimizing symptoms
SLE Patients report difficulty communicating their disease related issues to physicians
Limited Physician time, Complex multi-systemic disease, sensitive issues vs physician-patient discomfort

Measurement Equivalence
The model fit for the hypothesized item to scale relationships was satisfactory (CFI=0.94-0.98, TLI=0.95-0.99).
Item to factor loadings representing the hypothesized item to scale relationships were also satisfactory.
In general, items loaded >0.6 with their respective factor.
Of the 6/43 items showed DIF: (1) woke up feeling worn out, (2) worried about losing income, (3) lacked control over appearance,
(4) ability to plan activities and schedule events, (5) received comfort/strength from
spiritual/religious beliefs, and (6) Doctor was accessible when I had questions.
Considering that 43 item/scale relationships were tested, this was a
small percentage (~13%).

Item Selection Psychometric approach
• Analyses were conducted to identify the subset of items from LupusPRO that would fit a uni-
dimensional structure.
• 21 items
Clinically-oriented approach
• Analyses were conducted to select items from LupusPRO that showed the strongest relationship to
clinical criterion measures.
• 12 items
Qualitative approach:
• Four focus groups were conducted (N=26). SLE patients were shown the LupusPRO and asked to
identify the “top 15” most important items and to rate each item using a 4-point importance scale:
• “How important is this item to a questionnaire assessing the effect of lupus on your health and
quality of life?”
• 0 = not at all important to ask, 1 = slightly important to ask, 2 = moderately important to ask, 3 =
very important to ask.
• Any item that was missing

Variability assessment across countries - Differential Item functioning (DIF)
A cultural DIF of negligible magnitude was detected across countries (pseudo-R2 difference of 0.01-0.04).
Of the variation in item responses, 4% or less were due to a ‘country’ effect and 96% or more were due to
the effect of the disease Devilliers H et al. Ann Rheum Dis2015;74(Suppl2): 799

Summary
Only Lupus PRO tools derived from patients, male and female, of varied ethnic groups, using FDA guidelines for PROs
Referred to PROMISE databank items Item reductions made using patient based and Robust Statistical
methods (Rasch analysis, Factor analysis). At 3 different time points focus groups conducted Only Lupus PRO tools that includes Lupus Medications, Lupus
symptom (Flare), Cognition, Procreation, Sleep AND non HRQOL. Only Lupus PRO and LIT tool have evaluated and documented
measurement equivalence Only Lupus PRO and LIT tools to show responsiveness (in both
directions), and against SRI composite measures. Only LIT where patient-physician feasibility and utility of use
studied. LupusPRO and LITtools supported by years of scientific evidence
Summary
Choice of use is based on Intent and Preferences Brevity vs Comprehensive
Clinical care vs Research
Single Score vs Individual Domains
PQRI vs screen, communication, SDM
LIT score can also be calculated from LupusPRO
LupusPRO and LIT being used in several data repositories for years in the US, and being used in clinical trials.
Both ready for patient-physician use as well as for clinical trials.
