The female-to-male ratio was similar between the two cohorts (\u223c3:1, p = .73). The median age at diagnosis was 11.67\u00a0years (2.19-17.93) in the Turkish cohort and 13.68\u00a0years (2.74-17.93) in the U.S. cohort ( p &lt; .001). Photosensitivity (45.4% and 21.2%; p = .007) and renal involvement (41.7% and 36.4%; p = .045) were higher in the Turkish cohort. Anti-Ro\/SSA (34.8% and 15.7%; p &lt; .001), anti-Sm (59.1% and 19.4%; p &lt; .001), and anti-RNP (47.0% and 14.8%; p &lt; .001) positivity was more frequent in the U.S. cohort. Current use of rituximab (37.9% and 1.9%; p &lt; .001) and belimumab (19.7% and 0%; p &lt; .001) was more prevalent in the U.S. cohort, while the use of cyclophosphamide (often according to the low dose Euro-Lupus protocol) throughout the disease course (24.1% and 4.5%; p &lt; .001) was more frequent in the Turkish cohort.
