Abstract

BackgroundMounting evidence indicates an increase in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) cases in the paediatric population, highlighting childhood-onset SLE (cSLE) as a distinct entity that warrants attention. Thus, we characterized a hospital-based cSLE patient cohort at our centre, including 10 years of observation and an assessment of case distribution across three subperiods.MethodsRetrospective data from 2009 to 2022 were collected from the hospital medical records of SLE patients
