SLEDAI-2K is an activity index that measures disease activity and records feature of active lupus as present or not present. SLEDAI-2K uses a weighted checklist to assign a numerical score based on the presence or absence of 24 symptoms at the time of assessment or during the previous 30 days. Each symptom present is assigned between 1 and 8 points based on its usual clinical importance, yielding a total score that ranges from 0 points (no symptoms) to 105 points (presence of all defined symptoms).

The CLASI activity score is calculated on the basis of erythema, scale/hyperkeratosis, mucous membrane involvement, acute hair loss and non-scarring alopecia. The CLASI activity score ranges from 0-70, with higher scores indicating more severe skin disease. Severity categories based on the CLASI activity score are as follows: mild (0-9), moderate (10-20), and severe (21-70).

Participants indicate their responses on a 5-point Likert response format, where 4=never, 3=occasionally, 2= a good bit of the time, 1=most of the time, and 0=worst of the time. Summary scores can be calculated for all 8 domains. A LupusQoL score for each domain was reported on a 0 to 100 scale, with greater values indicating better health related QoL.

It uses a 5-point Likert-type scale (0 = not at all; 1 = a little bit; 2 = somewhat; 3 = quite a bit; 4 = very much). The sum of all responses resulted in the FACIT-Fatigue score for a total possible score of 0 (worse possible score) to 52 (best score). A higher score reflected an improvement in the participant's health status.
