Assessing kidney outcomes in childhood-onset lupus nephritis: role of National Institutes of Health-modified histological indices

Nuanpan Penboon, Pornpimol Rianthavorn

Background: Childhood-onset lupus nephritis (cLN) is an aggressive disease. Although histological class has historically guided its treatment, its prognostic value remains limited. Although the National Institutes of Health (NIH)-modified activity index (AI) and chronicity index (CI) incorporate glomerular and tubulointerstitial changes and may provide better prognostic insight, their utility in cLN is not well established.
Purpose: Here we aimed to assess the utility of the NIH-modified-modified AI and CI...

Question: What is the acceptance rate for coronavirus disease 2019 vaccination among parents of children with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE)?
Finding: One-third of parents were hesitant to vaccinate their child. Parental willingness to vaccinate themselves, older patient age, and belief in the vaccine's potency were associated with vaccine acceptance.
Meaning: These findings highlight the need for targeted interventions to improve vaccine acceptance among parents of children with SLE.
