Long\u2010term oral GC exposure was assessed from pharmacy dispensations to identify which dosing patterns had the strongest association with organ damage overall, and within the ocular, cardiovascular, peripheral vascular, gastrointestinal, diabetes, and malignancy domains. We used weighted cumulative exposure models to estimate the weights of the average daily dose at different time points and determine the relative importance of exposure on organ damage accrual, adjusted for confounders.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Among 3,749 patients with newly diagnosed SLE (82.1% female, median age 48.0 years), the increased risk of first organ damage overall associated with GC dosing was well captured by the past two years (adjusted hazard ratio [HR] 1.42, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.31\u20131.53, for 5 mg\/day), and fairly well captured by the past one year (adjusted HR 1.34, 95% CI 1.23\u20131.42, for 5 mg\/day).
