    "abstract": "Introduction Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a multisystem autoimmune disease. Sometimes vasculitis may complicate the disease. Among the manifestations of SLE, vasculitis presentation is common. This study aimed to identify the predictors of vasculitis in SLE patients. Methods This is a cross-sectional study in a single center conducted in the Department of Rheumatology, Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University (BSMMU), Dhaka from December 2019 to January 2021. The disease activity and damage were assessed using the Systemic Lupus Erythematosus Disease Activity Index (SLEDAI) and Systemic Lupus International Collaborating Clinics/American College of Rheumatology damage index (SLICC/ACR DI). Study subjects were grouped into vasculitis and no vasculitis groups. The multivariate logistic regression analysis was done to determine the independent predictors of vasculitis in SLE. The\u00a0",
