Glucocorticoid tapering early in the course of juvenile SLE: association with lupus low disease activity state and outcomes
Successful GC tapering is feasible and does not increase the risk of flares during the early disease phase. However, flares are common and adversely affect GC tapering. Thus, the identification of children with an increased risk of flares on GC tapering is needed to reduce the GC burden.
