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