Fig. 2From: Final adult height of patients with childhood-onset systemic lupus erythematosus: a cross sectional analysisMean difference between final height and mid-parental target height among participants with childhood-onset versus adult-onset SLE, by sex (n = 566). This graph demonstrates the mean difference between final height and mid-parental target height among males and females with cSLE and aSLE. Females with cSLE were on average 2.5 cm shorter than their target height (95% CI -4.3, − 0.6) which differed significantly from females with aSLE (p < 0.001). Males with cSLE were on average 2 cm shorter than target height, but did not differ significantly from males with aSLE (95% CI -7.5, 3.6, p = 0.2)Back to article page
