    The study assessed the impact of cumulative high disease activity on damage accrual in childhood-onset systemic lupus erythematosus (cSLE).

  • 2

    Among 196 cSLE patients, 64.3% experienced high disease activity status (HDAS), which was linked to a higher rate of damage accrual.

  • 3

    Patients with time-adjusted cumulative HDAS (cHDAS) ≥5% had a significantly shorter mean time to damage compared to those with cHDAS <5%.

  • 4

    Neuropsychiatric involvement and cHDAS ≥5% were identified as independent predictors of damage accrual in cSLE patients.

  • 5

    Increasing thresholds of time-adjusted cHDAS were associated with progressively higher risks of damage accrual in cSLE patients.
