Documentation

Data collection method:

Methods are described in full in the paper. Briefly: * SLE Read codes, were identified from the CPRD dictionary and from review of code lists reported in previous CPRD studies. * Code lists were reviewed independently by two rheumatologists and those with agreement retained. * Clinical and immunological features suggestive of SLE based on the 2019 EULAR-ACR classification criteria were found. * Immunosuppressants were amended to include SLE related medications which are now more widely used (addition of Leflunomide, Mycophenolate Mofetil, Rituximab and Tacrolimus and Belimumab). * Test data (e.g. white cell count) had inclusion thresholds set based on unit types and expected normal values.

Data processing and preparation activities:

The cohort was selected as described in the case ascertainment section of the paper. Data was aggregated and described in the paper. No changes to the original data that we received (already deidentified) were made.

Technical details and requirements:

SQL Developer was used to process the raw data; analysis was carried out using R.
