There are limited data on risk factors affecting growth development in Asian patients with cSLE.

Baseline characteristics, including height, weight, clinical manifestations, disease activity score, and medications, were reviewed from medical records from the time at diagnosis to achievement of final adult height (FAH). Age at menarche in girls, adult voice appearance in boys, and parental height were collected by interview. Parent-adjusted FAH (PaFAH) <jats:italic>Z<\/jats:italic>-score was calculated as the difference between FAH <jats:italic>Z<\/jats:italic>-score for chronological age of the patients and their mid parental height-<jats:italic>Z<\/jats:italic> score. The patients were classified into two groups: (1) normal growth (PaFAH <jats:italic>Z<\/jats:italic>-score\u2009\u2265\u2009\u2212\u20091.5, 2) growth impairment (PaFAH <jats:italic>Z<\/jats:italic>-score\u2009&lt;\u2009\u2212\u20091.5). Descriptive statistics and logistic regression analysis were used to analyze the data.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>Of 106 cSLE patients, 19 (18%) were male and 87 (82%) were female. The mean age at study enrollment was 20.6\u2009\u00b1\u20093.0\u2009years, mean age at diagnosis 12.1\u2009\u00b1\u20092.3\u2009years, and mean age at achievement of FAH 17.5\u2009\u00b1\u20091.9\u2009years. Growth impairment was found in 23.6% of patients (52.6% in boys and 17.2% in girls). Predictors of growth impairment were male sex, duration of disease before menarche in girls and adult voice appearance in boys, and cumulative corticosteroid dose (prednisolone equivalent) \u2265230\u2009mg\/kg received before the late phase of puberty, with odds ratios of 7.07 (95%CI 2.11\u201323.74), 1.26 (95% CI 1.02\u20131.56), and 6.99 (95%CI 1.63\u201330.02), respectively.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>One-fourth of cSLE patients developed growth impairment, which mostly affected male patients.
