- Risk factors for mortality in 1528 Brazilian childhood-onset systemic lupus erythematosus patients(2023) SAKAMOTO, Ana P.; SILVA, Clovis A.; PITA, Ana C.; TRINDADE, Vitor C.; ISLABAO, Aline G.; FIOROT, Fernanda J.; LOPES, Sandra R. M.; PEREIRA, Rosa M. R.; SAAD-MAGALHAES, Claudia; RUSSO, Gleice C. S.; LEN, Claudio A.; PRADO, Rogerio do; CAMPOS, Lucia M. A.; AIKAWA, Nadia E.; APPENZELLER, Simone; FERRIANI, Virginia P. L.; SILVA, Marco F.; FELIX, Marta; FONSECA, Adriana R.; ASSAD, Ana P. L.; SZTAJNBOK, Flavio R.; SANTOS, Maria C.; BICA, Blanca E.; SENA, Evaldo G.; MORAES, Ana J.; FRAGA, Melissa M.; ROBAZZI, Teresa C.; SPELLING, Paulo F.; SCHEIBEL, Iloite M.; CAVALCANTI, Andre S.; MATOS, Erica N.; GUIMARAES, Luciano J.; SANTOS, Flavia P.; MOTA, Licia M. H.; BONFA, Eloisa; TERRERI, Maria T.Objectives: To identify associations between mortality in cSLE patients and their characteristics: clinical and laboratory features, disease activity and damage scores, and treatment; to evaluate risk factors associated with mortality in cSLE; and to determine the most frequent causes of death in this group of patients.Methods: We performed a multicenter retrospective cohort using data from 1,528 cSLE patients followed in 27 pediatric rheumatology tertiary centers in Brazil. Patients' medical records were reviewed according to a standardized protocol, in which information regarding demographic and clinical features, disease activity and damage scores, and treatment were collected and compared between deceased cSLE patients and survivors. Univariate and multivariate analyses by Cox regression model were used to calculate risk factors for mortality, whereas survival rates were analyzed by Kaplan-Meier plots.Results: A total of 63/1,528 (4.1%) patients deceased, 53/63 were female (84.1%), median age at death was 11.9 (9.4-13.1) years and median time interval between cSLE diagnosis and death was 3.2 (0.5-5.3) years. Sepsis was the main cause of death in 27/63 (42.8%) patients, followed by opportunistic infections in 7/63 (11.1%), and alveolar hemorrhage in 6/63 (9.5%) patients. The regression models resulted in neuropsychiatric lupus (NP-SLE) (HR = 2.56, 95% CI = 1.48-4.42) and chronic kidney disease (CKD) (HR = 4.33, 95% CI = 2.33-4.72), as risk factors significantly associated with mortality. Overall patient survival after cSLE diagnosis at 5, 10, and 15 years were 97%, 95.4%, and 93.8%, respectively.Conclusions: This study confirmed that the recent mortality rate in cSLE in Brazil is low, but still of concern. NP-SLE and CKD were the main risk factors for mortality, indicating that the magnitude of these manifestations was significantly high.
conferenceObject EPIDEMIOLOGY AND MANAGEMENT PRACTICES IN CHILDHOOD-ONSET SYSTEMIC LUPUS ERYTHEMATOSUS PATIENTS: A LATIN AMERICA SURVEY(2018) FERREIRA, J. C.; TRINDADE, V. C.; ESPADA, G.; MOREL, Z.; BONFA, E.; MAGALHAES, C. S.; SILVA, C. A.- International cohort of 382 children with lupus nephritis - presentation, treatment and outcome at 24 months(2023) MUTIIS, Chiara De; WENDERFER, Scott E.; BASU, Biswanath; BAGGA, Arvind; ORJUELA, Alvaro; SAR, Tanmoy; AGGARWAL, Amita; JAIN, Avinash; YAP, Hui-Kim; TEO, Sharon; ITO, Shuichi; OHNISHI, Ai; IWATA, Naomi; KASAPCOPUR, Ozgur; YILDIZ, Mehmet; LAURENT, Audrey; MASTRANGELO, Antonio; OGURA, Masao; SHIMA, Yuko; RIANTHAVORN, Pornpimol; SILVA, Clovis A.; TRINDADE, Vitor; GIANVITI, Alessandra; AKINORI, Miyazono; HAMADA, Riku; FUJIMURA, Junya; MINAMIKAWA, Shogo; KAMIYOSHI, Naohiro; KAITO, Hiroshi; ISHIMORI, Shingo; IANNUZZELLA, Francesco; TULLUS, KjellBackground Children with lupus have a higher chance of nephritis and worse kidney outcome than adult patients. Methods We retrospectively analyzed clinical presentation, treatment and 24-month kidney outcome in a cohort of 382 patients (<= 18 years old) with lupus nephritis (LN) class >= III diagnosed and treated in the last 10 years in 23 international centers. Results The mean age at onset was 11 years 9 months and 72.8% were females. Fifty-seven percent and 34% achieved complete and partial remission at 24-month follow-up, respectively. Patients with LN class III achieved complete remission more often than those with classes IV or V (mixed and pure). Only 89 of 351 patients maintained stable complete kidney remission from the 6(th) to 24(th) months of follow-up. eGFR >= 90 ml/min/1.73 m(2) at diagnosis and biopsy class III were predictive of stable kidney remission. The youngest and the oldest age quartiles (2y-9y, 5m) (14y, 2m-18y,2m) showed lower rates of stable remission (17% and 20.7%, respectively) compared to the two other age groups (29.9% and 33.7%), while there was no difference in gender. No difference in achieving stable remission was found between children who received mycophenolate or cyclophosphamide as induction treatment. Conclusion Our data show that the rate of complete remission in patients with LN is still not high enough. Severe kidney involvement at diagnosis was the most important risk factor for not achieving stable remission while different induction treatments did not impact outcome. Randomized treatment trials involving children and adolescents with LN are needed to improve outcome for these children.
- The new 2019-EULAR/ACR classification criteria specific domains at diagnosis can predict damage accrual in 670 childhood-onset systemic lupus erythematosus patients(2021) PITTA, Ana C.; SILVA, Clovis A.; INSFRAN, Carlos E.; PASOTO, Sandra G.; TRINDADE, Vitor C.; V, Glaucia Novak; SAKAMOTO, Ana P.; TERRERI, Maria T.; PEREIRA, Rosa M. R.; MAGALHAES, Claudia S.; FONSECA, Adriana R.; ISLABAO, Aline G.; ASSAD, Ana P. L.; BUSCATTI, Izabel M.; ELIAS, Adriana M.; PIOTTO, Daniela P.; FERRIANI, Virginia P.; CARVALHO, Luciana M.; RABELO JUNIOR, Carlos N.; MARINI, Roberto; SZTAJNBOK, Flavio R.; SACCHETTI, Silvana B.; BICA, Blanca E.; MORAES, Ana J.; ROBAZZI, Teresa C.; LOTUFO, Simone; CAVALCANTI, Andre S.; NAKA, Erica N.; CARNEIRO-SAMPAIO, Magda; BONFA, Eloisa; AIKAWA, Nadia E.Objective To evaluate if the 2019-European League Against Rheumatism/American College of Rheumatology (EULAR/ACR) criteria at diagnosis of childhood-onset systemic lupus erythematosus (cSLE) are associated with higher rates of early damage scored by Systemic Lupus International Collaborating Clinics/American College of Rheumatology (SLICC/ACR) Damage Index (SDI). Methods This retrospective multicenter study included 670 cSLE patients with <= 5 years of disease duration. All patients fulfilled both 2019-EULAR/ACR and 1997-ACR classification criteria. Total score of 2019-EULAR/ACR criteria and each of its specific domains were assessed at diagnosis as predictors of damage accrual at the last visit, according to the presence of any organ damage (defined by SDI >= 1). Results Median disease duration was 2.8 (IQR 1.8-3.8) years and 200 (29.9%) patients had at least one organ damage (SDI >= 1). The most frequent domains were neuropsychiatric (12%), renal (7%), and musculoskeletal (6%). There was a higher frequency of renal (58% vs 43%, p = 0.0004) and neuropsychiatric domain (21% vs 7%, p < 0.0001) of 2019-EULAR/ACR criteria in patients with damage (SDI >= 1) compared to those without damage (SDI = 0). Patients scoring renal or neuropsychiatric domains of the 2019-EULAR/ACR criteria at diagnosis were associated with renal damage (odds ratio 9.701, 95% confidence interval 3.773-24.941, p < 0.001) or neuropsychiatric damage (OR 9.480, 95% CI 5.481-16.399, p<0.0001) at latest visit, respectively. cSLE patients with positive anti-dsDNA at diagnosis were also associated with renal damage by the latest visit (OR 2.438, 95% CI 1.114-5.3381, p = 0.021). Constitutional, hematologic, mucocutaneous, serosal, and musculoskeletal domains and specific criteria as well as other immunologic criteria were not associated with damage accrual. Median of SLEDAI-2K was significantly higher in patients with global damage (19.5 (2-51) vs 14 (0-51), p<0.001). 2019-EULAR/ACR score >25 was associated with more overall (SDI >= 1) (38% vs 25%, p = 0.0002) and renal damage (11% vs 5%, p = 0.023). Conclusions The 2019-EULAR/ACR criteria at diagnosis were associated with a higher rate of early damage in cSLE patients, especially for renal and neuropsychiatric damage. Of note, damage was particularly associated with high disease activity at diagnosis and 2019-EULAR/ACR score >25.
- An Update on the Management of Childhood-Onset Systemic Lupus Erythematosus(2021) TRINDADE, Vitor Cavalcanti; CARNEIRO-SAMPAIO, Magda; BONFA, Eloisa; SILVA, Clovis ArturChildhood-onset systemic lupus erythematosus (cSLE) is a prototype of a multisystemic, inflammatory, heterogeneous autoimmune condition. This disease is characterized by simultaneous or sequential organ and system involvement, with unpredictable flare and high levels of morbidity and mortality. Racial/ethnic background, socioeconomic status, cost of medications, difficulty accessing health care, and poor adherence seem to impact lupus outcomes and treatment response. In this article, the management of cSLE patients is updated. Regarding pathogenesis, a number of potential targets for drugs have been studied. However, most treatments in pediatric patients are off-label drugs with recommendations based on inadequately powered studies, therapeutic consensus guidelines, or case series. Management practices for cSLE patients include evaluations of disease activity and cumulative damage scores, routine non-live vaccinations, physical activity, and addressing mental health issues. Antimalarials and glucocorticoids are still the most common drugs used to treat cSLE, and hydroxychloroquine is recommended for nearly all cSLE patients. Disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (DMARDs) should be standardized for each patient, based on disease flare and cSLE severity. Mycophenolate mofetil or intravenous cyclophosphamide is suggested as induction therapy for lupus nephritis classes III and IV. Calcineurin inhibitors (cyclosporine, tacrolimus, voclosporin) appear to be another good option for cSLE patients with lupus nephritis. Regarding B-cell-targeting biologic agents, rituximab may be used for refractory lupus nephritis patients in combination with another DMARD, and belimumab was recently approved by the US Food and Drug Administration for cSLE treatment in children aged > 5 years. New therapies targeting CD20, such as atacicept and telitacicept, seem to be promising drugs for SLE patients. Anti-interferon therapies (sifalimumab and anifrolumab) have shown beneficial results in phase II randomized control trials in adult SLE patients, as have some Janus kinase inhibitors, and these could be alternative treatments for pediatric patients with severe interferon-mediated inflammatory disease in the future. In addition, strict control of proteinuria and blood pressure is required in cSLE, especially with angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor and angiotensin receptor blocker use.
conferenceObject Renal Outcomes in 1528 Childhood-onset Systemic Lupus Erythematosus Patients: A Brazilian Multicenter Study(2021) SAKAMOTO, Ana Paula; SILVA, Clovis; ISLABAO, Aline; NOVAK, Glaucia; MOLINARI, Beatriz; PEREIRA, Rosa; SAAD-MAGALHAES, Claudia; CLEMENTE, Gleice; PIOTO, Daniela Petry; AIKAWA, Nadia; PITA, Ana; TRINDADE, Vitor; APPENZELLER, Simone; CARVALHO, Luciana; RABELO-JUNIOR, Carlos; FONSECA, Adriana; SZTAJNBOK, Flavio; SANTOS, Maria; BICA, Blanca Elena Rios Gomes; SENA, Evaldo; MORAES, Ana; FRAGA, Melissa; ROBAZZI, Teresa; SPELLING, Paulo; SCHEIBEL, Iloite; CAVALCANTI, Andre; MATOS, Erica; GUIMARAES, Luciano; SANTOS, Flavia; MOTA, Licia Maria Henrique; BONFA, Eloisa; TERRERI, Maria- Childhood-onset systemic lupus erythematosus-related antiphospholipid syndrome: A multicenter study with 1519 patients(2020) ISLABA, Aline G.; MOTA, Licia M. H.; RIBEIRO, Maria Custodia M.; ARABI, Tamima M.; CIVIDATTI, Georgiana N.; QUEIROZ, Ligia B.; ANDRADE, Danieli C.; SAKAMOTO, Ana P.; TRINDADE, Vitor C.; NOVAK, Glaucia V.; MOLINARI, Beatriz C.; CAMPOS, Lucia M.; AIKAWA, Nadia E.; PEREIRA, Rosa M. R.; TERRERI, Maria T.; MAGALHA, Claudia S.; MARINI, Roberto; GOMES, Hugo R.; SILVA, Marco F.; OLIVEIRA, Sheila K.; SZTAJNBOK, Flavio R.; SACCHETTI, Silvana B.; BICA, Blanca E.; SENA, Evaldo G.; MORAES, Ana P.; SANTOS, Maria C.; ROBAZZI, Teresa C.; SPELLING, Paulo F.; SCHEIBEL, Iloite M.; CAVALCANTI, Andre S.; NAKA, Erica N.; GUIMARAES, Luciano J.; SANTOS, Flavia P.; SAMPAIO, Magda C.; BONFA, Eloisa; SILVA, Clovis A.Objective: To assess childhood-onset systemic lupus erythematosus-related antiphospholipid syndrome(cSLE-APS) in a large Brazilian population. Methods: A retrospective observational cohort study was carried-out in 27 Pediatric Rheumatology university centers, including 1519 cSLE patients. Results: cSLE-APS was observed in 67/1519 (4%) and was diagnosed at disease onset in 39/67 (58%). The median disease duration was 4.9 (0-17) years. Thrombosis recurrences were evidenced in 18/67 (27%) cSLE-APS patients. The most frequent thrombosis sites in cSLE-APS patients were: venous thrombosis in 40/67 (60%), especially deep vein thrombosis in 29/40 (72%); arterial thrombosis in 35/67 (52%), particularly stroke; small vessels thrombosis in 9/67 (13%) and mixed thrombosis in 3/67 (4%). Pregnancy morbidity was observed in 1/67 (1%). Non-thrombotic manifestation associated to cSLE-APS occurred in 21/67 (31%), mainly livedo reticularis in 14/67 (21%), valvar thickening in 4/67 (6%) and valvar vegetations not related to infections in 2/67 (3%). None of them had catastrophic APS. Further analysis demonstrated that the median of SLICC/ACR-DI [1 (0-5) vs. 0(0-7),p < 0.0001] was significantly higher in cSLE-APS patients compared to cSLE without APS. The frequencies of cerebrovascular disease (40% vs. 1%,p < 0.0001), polyneuropathy (9% vs. 1%,p < 0.0001), SLICC/ACR-DI >= 1 (57% vs. 27%, p < 0.0001) and intravenous cyclophosphamide use (59% vs. 37%, p < 0.0001) were significantly higher in the former group. Conclusions: Our large multicenter study demonstrated that cSLE-APS was a rare condition, occurring during disease course with a high accrual damage. Central and peripheral neuropsychiatric involvements were distinctive features of this autoimmune thrombosis.
- Managing Antiphospholipid Syndrome in Children and Adolescents: Current and Future Prospects(2022) ISLABAO, Aline Garcia; TRINDADE, Vitor Cavalcanti; MOTA, Licia Maria Henrique da; ANDRADE, Danieli Castro Oliveira; SILVA, Clovis ArturPediatric antiphospholipid syndrome (APS) is a rare acquired multisystem autoimmune thromboinflammatory condition characterized by thrombotic and non-thrombotic clinical manifestations. APS in children and adolescents typically presents with large-vessel thrombosis, thrombotic microangiopathy, and, rarely, obstetric morbidity. Non-thrombotic clinical manifestations are frequently seen in pediatric APS and may be present even before the vascular thrombotic events occur. We review insights into the pathogenesis of APS and discuss potential targets for therapy. The identification of multiple immunologic abnormalities in patients with APS reveals molecular targets for current or future treatment. Management strategies, especially for APS in adolescents, require screening for additional prothrombotic risk factors and consideration of counseling regarding contraceptive strategies, lifestyle recommendations, treatment adherence, and mental health issues associated with this autoimmune thrombophilia. The main goal of therapy in pediatric APS is the prevention of thrombosis. The management of acute thrombosis events in children and adolescents is the same as for primary APS, which involves isolated occurrences, and secondary APS, which is seen in association with another autoimmune disease, e.g., systemic lupus erythematosus. A pediatric hematologist should be consulted so other differential thrombophilic conditions can be eliminated. Therapy includes unfractionated heparin or low-molecular-weight heparin followed by vitamin K antagonists. Treatment of catastrophic APS involves triple therapy (anticoagulation, intravenous corticosteroid pulse therapy, and plasma exchange) and may include intravenous immunoglobulin for children and adolescents with this condition. New drugs such as eculizumab and sirolimus seem to be promising drugs for APS.
- Chronic kidney disease in patients with childhood-onset systemic lupus erythematosus(2023) SAKAMOTO, Ana P.; SILVA, Clovis A.; ISLABAO, Aline G.; V, Glaucia Novak; MOLINARI, Beatriz; NOGUEIRA, Paulo K.; PEREIRA, Rosa M. R.; SAAD-MAGALHAES, Claudia; CLEMENTE, Gleice; PIOTTO, Daniela P.; AIKAWA, Nadia E.; PITTA, Ana C.; TRINDADE, Vitor C.; APPENZELLER, Simone; CARVALHO, Luciana M.; RABELO-JUNIOR, Carlos N.; FONSECA, Adriana R.; SZTAJNBOK, Flavio R.; SANTOS, Maria C.; BICA, Blanca E.; SENA, Evaldo G.; MORAES, Ana J.; FRAGA, Melissa M.; ROBAZZI, Teresa C.; SPELLING, Paulo F.; SCHEIBEL, Iloite M.; CAVALCANTI, Andre S.; MATOS, Erica N.; GUIMARAES, Luciano J.; SANTOS, Flavia P.; MOTA, Licia M. H.; BONFA, Eloisa; TERRERI, Maria T.Background Lupus nephritis (LN) is a frequent manifestation of childhood-onset systemic lupus erythematosus (cSLE) with a potential risk for kidney failure and poor outcomes. This study aimed to evaluate stages III, IV, and V of chronic kidney disease (CKD) and investigate risk factors for CKD in cSLE patients. Methods We performed a nationwide observational cohort study in 27 pediatric rheumatology centers, including medical charts of 1528 cSLE patients. Data were collected at cSLE diagnosis, during follow-up, and at last visit or death, between September 2016 and May 2019. Results Of 1077 patients with LN, 59 (5.4%) presented with CKD, 36/59 (61%) needed dialysis, and 7/59 (11.8%) were submitted for kidney transplantation. After Bonferroni's correction for multiple comparisons (p < 0.0013), determinants associated with CKD were higher age at last visit, urinary biomarker abnormalities, neuropsychiatric involvement, higher scores of disease activity at last visit and damage index, and more frequent use of methylprednisolone, cyclosporine, cyclophosphamide, and rituximab. In the regression model analysis, arterial hypertension (HR = 15.42, 95% CI = 6.12-38.83, p < 0.001) and biopsy-proven proliferative nephritis (HR = 2.83, 95%CI = 1.70-4.72, p <= 0.001) increased the risk of CKD, while children using antimalarials had 71.0% lower CKD risk ((1.00-0.29) x 100%) than children not using them. The Kaplan-Meier comparison showed lower survival in cSLE patients with biopsy-proven proliferative nephritis (p = 0.02) and CKD (p <= 0.001). Conclusions A small number of patients manifested CKD; however, frequencies of dialysis and kidney transplantation were relevant. This study reveals that patients with cSLE with hypertension, proliferative nephritis, and absence of use of antimalarials exhibited higher hazard rates of progression to CKD.
- Epidemiology and management practices for childhood-onset systemic lupus erythematosus patients: a survey in Latin America(2018) FERREIRA, Juliana C. O. A.; TRINDADE, Vitor C.; ESPADA, Graciela; MOREL, Zoilo; BONFA, Eloisa; MAGALHAES, Claudia S.; SILVA, Clovis ArturTo assess epidemiology and management practices of Latin America Pediatric Rheumatologists (LAPR) about childhood-onset systemic lupus erythematosus (cSLE). A cross-sectional study was performed in 288 LAPR PANLAR members based on online survey about cSLE practices. The response rate of web-based survey by LAPR was 170/288(59%) and the majority worked in university hospitals (63%). The ACR and/or SLICC classification criteria (99%) and disease activity tools (97%) were almost universally used by LAPR, whereas damage index (70%) and CHAQ (58%) instruments were less frequently used. Laboratory exams, diagnostic imaging, and biopsies were generally available (>75%), however low availability for densitometry (66%). Drug access was excellent for the most common prescribed medications (>75%), except for belimumab (11%). Emerging mosquito-borne diseases were also reported: dengue (20%), chikungunya (11%), and Zika (8%). Groups were further divided in two, according to the median number of cSLE patients followed by LAPR in the last year: groups A and B (25 and <25, respectively). Frequencies of condom in combination with other contraceptive methods were significantly higher in group A than B (p=0.01). The frequencies of reported pregnancy (p<0.001) and non-adherence to therapy were significantly higher in group A (p=0.023). Alcohol intake (p=0.004) and illicit drug use (p=0.007) were also reported more frequently by LAPR of group A in at least one cSLE patient. This first large web-based survey demonstrated an overall excellent access for diagnosis and therapy by LAPR, probably related to their high rate of practices in tertiary care of university hospitals. Adherence to therapy, pregnancy, and substance abuse was identified as major challenges in this population, particularly in larger centers.
