Evaluation of the classification performance and cost-effectiveness of classification criteria in children with systemic lupus erythematosus

Key Points

SLICC-2012 criteria provide the highest sensitivity for classifying systemic lupus erythematosus.
ACR-1997 criteria are identified as the most cost-effective option under specialized conditions.
Higher sensitivity of SLICC-2012 criteria may enhance early referrals for treatment.
Cost-effectiveness varies, influencing the choice of criteria based on healthcare settings.

Abstract

The SLICC-2012 criteria were the most sensitive for the classification of SLE, but not the most cost-effective. ACR-1997 remains the most cost-effective tool in specialized settings; however, the higher sensitivity of SLICC-2012 supports its use to improve early referral.
