Classification Criteria Summary

πŸ¦‹ SLE β€” 2019 ACR/EULAR Criteria

Entry: ANA β‰₯1:80. Threshold: β‰₯10 points + β‰₯1 clinical criterion.

DomainCriterionWeight
ImmunologicAnti-dsDNA OR Anti-Sm6
ComplementLow C3 OR C4 / Both low3 / 4
aPLaCL, Ξ²2GPI, or LA2
RenalClass III/IV LN10

🦴 RA β€” 2010 ACR/EULAR Criteria

Threshold: β‰₯6 points with β‰₯1 swollen joint.

SerologyScore
Negative RF AND anti-CCP0
Low-positive (≀3Γ—ULN)2
High-positive (>3Γ—ULN)3

πŸ’§ SjΓΆgren's β€” 2016 ACR/EULAR Criteria

Threshold: β‰₯4 points. Note: Anti-SSB/La alone NOT sufficient.

CriterionWeight
Anti-SSA/Ro positive3
Focal lymphocytic sialadenitis (FSβ‰₯1)3
Ocular Staining Score β‰₯51
Schirmer's ≀5mm/5min1

πŸ”₯ SSc β€” 2013 ACR/EULAR Criteria

Sufficient: Skin thickening proximal to MCPs. Otherwise: β‰₯9 points.

CriterionWeight
SSc antibodies (Scl-70, centromere, RNA Pol III)3
Raynaud's phenomenon3
Fingertip pitting scars3
Telangiectasia / Abnormal nailfold capillaries2

🩸 APS β€” 2023 ACR/EULAR Criteria

Entry: β‰₯1 aPL+ within 3 years of event. Threshold: β‰₯3 points each clinical AND laboratory.

Laboratory DomainScore
Lupus anticoagulant (persistent)5
High aCL IgG or anti-Ξ²2GPI IgG4-7
Isolated IgM positivity1

⚠️ 2023 criteria emphasize IgG over IgM. Isolated IgM has minimal weight.

🫁 ANCA Vasculitis β€” 2022 ACR/EULAR Criteria

GPA CriteriaScore
PR3-ANCA positive+5
MPO-ANCA positive-1
Eosinophils β‰₯1Γ—10⁹/L-4

πŸ’ͺ IIM β€” 2017 ACR/EULAR Criteria

Probability-based. Thresholds: Possible β‰₯50%, Probable β‰₯55%, Definite β‰₯90%.

VariablePoints
Anti-Jo1 positive3.9
Elevated CK1.3
Gottron's papules2.1
Heliotrope rash3.1

Note: Only anti-Jo1 included in criteria. Other MSAs (Mi2, MDA5, TIF1Ξ³, SRP) improve classification.

Complement & Inflammation

TestNormalNote
C390-180 mg/dLLow in active SLE
C410-40 mg/dLLow in SLE, cryoglobulinemia
ESR0-20 mm/hNon-specific inflammation
CRP<10 mg/LMay be normal in SLE flare
CK30-200 U/L>5Γ—ULN suggests myositis
