Activity and damage tools have been used to measure Juvenile Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (JSLE) outcome, aiming at assessing the real impact on morbidity. Evaluate survival, disease activity patterns, damage and growth failure in a cohort of JSLE patients. Patients were classified by disease activity patterns as chronic active (CA), relapsing-remitting (RR) and long quiescent (LQ) disease course according to Modified SLEDAI-2K and ECLAM, scored at each visit and summarized by the area under curve plotted between two evaluation intervals. Damage was scored at the last visit by the Pediatric SLICC/ACR Damage Index (Ped/SDI), selecting cases followed for more than one year. Survival curves considering the events death, damage and growth failure were plotted, for the whole cohort and stratified by the CA and RR patterns. Cox model was built to identify outcome predictors. Thirty seven patients with 11.2 years median age at diagnosis and 2.7 years median follow up were reviewed. The RR pattern was found in 67.5%, CA in 29.8% and LQ in 2.7%, according to Modified SLEDAI-2K. By ECLAM, the frequencies were 45.9%, 48.7% and 5.4%, respectively. The 5-year survival rate was 90%. Damage and growth failure were observed in 62.5% and 31.3%, respectively. The mean time for damage was 4.8 ± 0.5 years. Damage probability was 10% at 1 year, 15% at 2 years, 32% at 3 years and 47% at 5 years. For growth failure, the probabilities were 3%, 12%, 17% e 31% respectively, with mean time 5.2 ± 0.4 years. Patients with the CA pattern evolved into damage faster than those with the RR pattern. Damage was associated with disease duration, thrombocytopenia and alopecia at disease onset. Growth failure associated with disease duration and renal failure at disease onset. Progression to damage was observed in nearly two thirds of patients. Damage accrual predominated in patients with the CA pattern. Disease duration, thrombocytopenia ...
