Impact of follow-up adherence on disease activity in childhood-onset systemic lupus erythematosus (cSLE).

Our findings suggest that cSLE patients with higher disease activity are at risk for increased health care utilization with respect to ED visits as well as hospitalizations in the setting of follow-up nonadherence. While further studies are required to enhance our understanding of this association, this links the importance of disease-related outcome and routine outpatient visits in this particularly vulnerable patient population.
