Popis: To obtain longitudinal data on growth/puberty in a large-scale, multi-national prospective cohort of juvenile systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE).Data from 331/557 (59.4%) patients ≤18 years old with juvenile SLE in active phase, with anthropometric data available at four follow-up visits, were studied.There was a significant reduction in parent-adjusted height z score with time in females and males (p0.0001), with a significant gender difference (p0.0001) and with male height being most affected. Median body mass index z score peaked at 6 months and was still significantly above baseline after 26 months (p0.01), with no gender difference. Standardised height reduction was inversely related to age at onset. Females with onset age12 years had a median parent-adjusted height z score of -0.87 with no catch-up growth. At the end of the study, growth failure was seen in 14.7% of the females and 24.5% of the males. Height deflection (less than -0.25/year) was found in 20.7% of the females and 45.5% of the males. Delayed pubertal onset was seen in 15.3% and 24% of the females and males, respectively, and delayed/absent menarche was seen in 21.9%, while 36.1% of the females and 44% of the males had some degree of delayed pubertal development. Growth failure baseline determinants were previous growth failure (OR: 56.6), age at first visit ≤13.4 years (OR: 4.2) and cumulative steroid dose426 mg/kg (OR: 3.6).The children at risk of having a negative effect on height and pubertal development are prepubertal and peripubertal children treated with400 mg/kg cumulative dose of corticosteroids.
