A proposal for a pediatric version of the Systemic Lupus International Collaborating Clinics/American College of Rheumatology Damage Index based on the analysis of 1,015 patients with juvenile-onset systemic lupus erythematosus. Arthritis Rheum. 2006;54:2989–2996; doi:10.1002/art.22048 Optimal care of pediatric patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) involves monitoring and managing active disease, assessing organ damage, and assessing daily functioning and other quality-of-life issues. Organ damage may result from active disease, medication side effects, or comorbid conditions. In adult SLE patients, the SDI (Systemic Lupus International Collaborating Clinics/American College of Rheumatology Damage Index) has been found to be a valid tool for assessing irreversible organ damage.1 Longer disease duration is associated with higher SDI scores, and higher scores are associated with reduced survival. In 1 study, an SDI of... You do not currently have access to this content.
