SLE patients who ever discontinued GC were identified from PKUFHS cohort.

Cox regression was used to determine the effect of variables on SLE flare. 
Cox regression
Flare rate was analyzed using Kaplan-Meier analysis. 
Kaplan-Meier analysis
A prognostic nomogram using Cox proportional hazards regression modeling were developed.


 The prognostic nomogram including aforementioned factors effectively predicted 1- and 2-year probability of flare-free.
