Developing and Refining New Candidate Criteria for Systemic Lupus Erythematosus Classification: An International Collaboration

To define candidate criteria within multiphase development of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) classification criteria, jointly supported by the American College of Rheumatology and the European League Against Rheumatism. Prior steps included item generation and reduction by Delphi exercise, further narrowed to 21 items in a nominal group technique exercise. Our objectives were to apply an evidence‐based approach to the 21 candidate criteria, and to develop hierarchical organization of criteria within domains.
