Diagnosis
Alternative criteria
Recursive partitioning has been used to identify more parsimonious criteria. [1] This analysis presented two diagnostic classification trees:
1. Simplest classification tree: LSE is diagnosed if the patient has an immunologic disorder (anti-DNA antibody, anti-Smith antibody, false positive syphilis test, or LE cells) or malar rash.
- sensitivity = 92%
- specificity = 92%
2. Full classification tree: Uses 6 criteria.
- sensitivity = 97%
- specificity = 95%
Other alternative criteria have been suggested.[2]
