However, there remains a lack of quantitative evidence regarding the prevalence and disease course of depression based on the currently available evidence. In this context, we conducted the first systematic review and meta-analysis addressing this important issue. Methods: Three medical databases, including PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library were utilized in this study. We included studies that reported on cSLE patients experiencing depression for a meta-analysis. STATA software were employed to synthesize the results as well as to assess heterogeneity and publication bias. Results: Totally 12 eligible studies encompassing 652 cSLE patients were incorporated into this meta-analysis. Each of the publications included exhibited commendable methodological rigor, with Newcastle-Ottawa scores no less than 6. The pooled results with 12 articles indicated that the prevalence of depression among cSLE patients was 32.6% (95% CI: 0.25-0.40, Z=8.656, P<0.001). Subsequent subgroup analysis indicated that the prevalence of depression varied according to the different screening tools used: it was found to be 26% with CDI (95% CI: 0.18-0.34, P=0.023, I²=61.8%), 41% with PHQ-9 (95% CI: 0.20-0.63, P<0.001, I²=90.7%), and 37% with other tools such as BSI, BDI, and CES-D (95% CI: 0.21-0.53, P=0.031, I²=71.3%). Furthermore, the Egger’s test indicates that publication bias is insignificant among the studies included. Conclusions: The prevalence of depression in patients with cSLE is slightly higher compared with adult SLE patients. It is noteworthy that screening rates for depression vary significantly among different assessment tools. There exists an urgent need to establish a consensus aimed at standardizing diagnostic criteria for depression through screening, thereby providing valuable guidance for clinical and nursing practice. Pediatrics Prevalence Disease Course Depression Childhood-Onset Systemic Lupus Erythematosus Meta-Analysis Figures Figure 1 Figure 2 Figure 3 Figure 4 Figure 5 Introduction Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a chronic, inflammatory, multi-system autoimmune disease characterized by its involvement of multiple organs, including the kidneys, lungs, and nervous system. It is also associated with psychological complications such as depression and anxiety [ 1 – 3 ] . In the pediatric population, childhood-onset systemic lupus erythematosus (cSLE) frequently presents with severe psychological symptoms, particularly depressive moods that can lead to significant psychiatric sequelae, disability, and increased mortality rates [ 4 – 6 ] . Consequently, cSLE complicated by depression represents a critical issue in clinical practice that necessitates greater attention to identify more effective treatment strategies. For children diagnosed with SLE who exhibit depressive symptoms, there exists a limited number of reported literature. Furthermore, the findings regarding prevalence and disease course are inconsistent. It is very imperative to conduct a thorough and quantitative analysis aimed at evaluating the prevalence and disease course of depression among SLE children. In light of the prevailing gaps in our understanding, we are compelled to undertake this systematic review and meta-analysis aimed at thoroughly evaluating the prevalence and the progression of disease linked to depression among cSLE patients. Our objective is to furnish high-caliber evidence that can inform more effective treatment and nursing modalities for pediatric patients grappling with cSLE complicated by depressive conditions. Methods This systematic review and meta-analysis was conducted in accordance with the Meta-analyses of Observational Studies in Epidemiology (MOOSE) guidelines [7] (see Supplementary Table 1 ) and the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) statement and checklist [8] (see Supplementary Table 2 ). Searching Strategy A total of three prominent medical databases, from their inceptions to 1 Nov, 2024 were employed for the literature search: PubMed, Embase, and the Cochrane Library. Medical Subject Headings (MeSH) in conjunction with pertinent free-text keywords (synonyms) were utilized in various combinations to enhance the effectiveness of the search process. The key-words included “systemic lupus erythematosus,” “children,” and “depression.” The literature search imposed no restrictions regarding language, region, ethnicity, or country. Literature Selection This systematic review and meta-analysis have rigorously established comprehensive inclusion and exclusion criteria for the selection of literature, delineated as follows: Inclusion Criteria: 1) Studies focused exclusively on children and adolescents; 2) Studies employing validated screening tools for the assessment of depression symptoms; 3) Studies designed as cross-sectional, retrospective, or prospective cohorts; 4) Inclusion of patients who meet the revised American College of Rheumatology or Systemic Lupus Collaborating Clinics Classification Criteria for SLE; 5) Patients diagnosed with neuropsychiatric systemic lupus erythematosus ( NPSLE ) were also included. Exclusion Criteria: 1) Studies lacking a validated screening tool for the diagnosis of depression; 2) Studies that do not specify diagnostic criteria for SLE; 3) Non-human studies, including animal research, laboratory investigations, and in vitro experiments; 4) Studies with insufficient data, particularly those presenting information solely in an abstract form. Literature Screening Process Stringent principles and methodologies of quality control were meticulously applied throughout the literature screening process. The comprehensive literature screening procedure was thoroughly documented. Two independent reviewers (XJX and MP) conducted this search process. In cases where discrepancies arose, they engaged in collaborative discussions to reach a resolution. Data Extraction The study employed a pre-established Excel spreadsheets for data extraction. The extracted information encompassed the first author's name, year of publication, study period, age, gender, sample size, withdrawals, dropouts, follow-up duration, and outcome measures. The primary outcome measure was defined as the prevalence of depression in patients with cSLE, while the secondary outcome measures included mean depression scores, the course of depression and associated risk factors. Methodological Quality evaluation The methodological quality of the publications included in this review was assessed using the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale [9] , which allocates a maximum quality score of 9 points. Two authors independently evaluated the methodological quality and calculated the average as the final score. Statistical Methods Odds ratios (OR) accompanied by 95% confidence intervals (CI) were employed as the effect sizes for the meta-analysis. Risk estimates derived from the included studies were analyzed utilizing DerSimonian-Laird random-effects models. The assessment of heterogeneity was conducted through both the Chi-square test and I² statistic. Specifically, an I² value ranging from 0 to 25% signifies negligible heterogeneity, while values between 26% and 50% indicate low heterogeneity; those spanning from 51% to 75% denote moderate heterogeneity, and values exceeding 75% are indicative of high heterogeneity. A sensitivity analysis was executed to uncover potential sources of variability in study outcomes. Furthermore, funnel plots alongside Egger’s test were employed to scrutinize publication bias across the studies examined. Statistical analyses were performed using STATA software, with a two-tailed P-value of less than 0.05 denoting statistical significance. Results Study Selection Process The initial search resulted in a total of 661 records obtained from three medical databases: PubMed (306 records), Embase (299 records), and the Cochrane Library (56 records). Following the removal of duplicates and the exclusion of publications reporting irrelevant topics, 72 articles were selected for full-text screening. Ultimately, 12 eligible articles [10-21] were incorporated into the final pooled analysis. A detailed flow diagram is provided in Figure 1 . Characteristics of Included Studies As presented in detail in Table 1 , the pooled analysis included a total of 12 articles encompassing 652 cSLE patients. All articles are published in English, with publication years spanning from 2010 to 2024. The sample sizes of the studies included in this analysis vary, ranging from 24 to 106. All diagnostic criteria for SLE as delineated in included literatures conform to the guidelines established by the American College of Rheumatology (ACR) 1997. The criteria for diagnosing depression are not uniform, including the Childhood Depression Inventory (CDI) : 6 articles; Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ9): 3 articles; and others (Brief Symptom Inventory/Beck Depression Inventory/Birleson Scale/Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale for Children): 3 articles. Prevelance of Depression Symptoms in cSLE Patients A total of 12 articles reported the prevalence of depression in patients with cSLE. The pooled results indicated that the prevalence of depression among cSLE patients was 32.6% (95% CI: 0.25-0.40, Z=8.656, P<0.001), exhibiting relatively high heterogeneity (Cochran's Q=49.24, I²=77.7%), as illustrated in Figure 2 . Furthermore, a meta-analysis pooling aggregate data was conducted using the random-effects inverse-variance model with the DerSimonian-Laird estimate of Tau² (Tau²=0.0128). Subgroup Analysis of Depression Prevalence Based on Different Screening Tools Subgroup analysis of depression prevalence was performed based on various screening tools. A total of 6 studies reported depression prevalence using the Children's Depression Inventory (CDI), while 3 studies utilized the Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9). Additionally, 3 studies employed other assessment instruments, including the Brief Symptom Inventory (BSI), Beck Depression Inventory (BDI), and Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale (CES-D). As demonstrated in Figure 3 , the subgroup analysis indicated that the prevalence of depression varied according to the different screening tools used: it was found to be 26% with CDI (95% CI: 0.18-0.34, P=0.023, I²=61.8%), 41% with PHQ-9 (95% CI: 0.20-0.63, P<0.001, I²=90.7%), and 37% with other tools such as BSI, BDI, and CES-D (95% CI: 0.21-0.53, P=0.031, I²=71.3%). Exploration of potential sources of heterogeneity with sensitivity analysis As illustrated in Figure 4 , the subsequent sensitivity analysis did not identify any potential sources of heterogeneity across the studies. The variations among the included studies remained stable, situated between the lower and upper confidence interval limits. Methodological Quality and Publication Bias Assessment As illustrated in Table 2 , which presents the assessment of methodological quality, each publication included demonstrated commendable methodological rigor. The Newcastle-Ottawa scores were all no less than 6, indicating a relatively high standard of methodological quality across the studies. As demonstrated in Figure 5A and 5B , the Egger’s test indicates that publication bias is insignificant among the studies included, with P-value >0.05. Discussions This systematic review and meta-analysis represents the first comprehensive evaluation of the prevalence and disease course of depression in cSLE patients. Through a rigorous systematic review process, our study determined that the crude prevalence of depression among cSLE patients is 27%. Notably, significant discrepancies were observed in the assessment of depression incidence based on different depression screening tools. Specifically, the prevalence assessed using CDI was 26%, while that evaluated by PHQ-9 was 41%. Other scales, including BSI, BDI and CES-D, yielded an incidence rate of 37%, highlighting substantial variation across these instruments. Our investigation also delved into potential sources of heterogeneity; however, no distinct heterogeneous literature emerged from our analysis. Additionally, all Newcastle-Ottawa Scale (NOS) scores pertaining to our methodological evaluation exceeded a score of 6, indicating high-quality literatures. The Egger’s test further confirmed that there was no significant publication bias present in our findings. A previous meta-analysis conducted by Lijuan Zhang et al [22] . indicated that the crude prevalence of SLE among adults was 24%. Consequently, our pooled results demonstrate that the prevalence among patients with cSLE is slightly higher than that observed in adult patients. Nevertheless, owing to the disparities in measurement scales, the outcomes of our comparative analysis with adults must be approached and interpreted with a degree of caution. However, it is unequivocal that as children endure prolonged episodes of illness in the future, the repercussions of depression on their quality of life will become increasingly enduring and profound. Therefore, the execution of this systematic review and meta-analysis proves to be exceptionally valuable and indispensable in steering clinical and nursing practices for patients suffering from depression associated with cSLE. Besides, our findings also indicated that significant discrepancies were observed in the assessment of depression incidence based on different depression screening tools, which is strongly recommended to establish standardized and comprehensive criteria for the assessment and screening of depression in children with cSLE [23] . This initiative aims to enhance the clinical management and nursing care provided to these young patients, thereby facilitating more effective support throughout their treatment journey [24] . Therefore, comprehensive prospective studies with larger sample sizes are imperative to thoroughly assess the incidence of depression in cSLE paitents as evaluated by an unified scale. Furthermore, it is essential to juxtapose and scrutinize these findings against those derived from our meta-analysis. Last but by no means least, the present systematic review and meta-analysis exhibits both strengths and limitations. In terms of strengths, this investigation represents the inaugural pooled analysis concerning the prevalence of depression in cSLE patients and its disease course, to the best of our knowledge. Furthermore, the studies included in this review demonstrated relatively high methodological rigor, as evidenced by Newcastle-Ottawa Scale (NOS) scores that were no less than 6. Additionally, we conducted a subgroup analysis which revealed significant discrepancies in the assessment of depression incidence contingent upon varying screening tools for depression. This finding holds substantial implications for clinical practice and nursing, offering valuable insights into tailored approaches for patient care. However, this meta-analysis has several limitations. Firstly, the studies included were predominantly retrospective in design, which reflects real-world conditions; however, it is essential to recognize the potential for confounding biases. Secondly, all included studies had relatively small sample sizes, ranging from 24 to 106 participants. Thirdly, there is a lack of data available to analyze gender differences in the prevalence of depression among patients with cSLE. Therefore, we continue to advocate for further prospective studies with larger sample sizes that are crucial for a comprehensive assessment of the incidence of depression in cSLE patients. Conclusions The prevalence of depression in patients with cSLE is slightly higher compared with adult SLE patients. It is noteworthy that screening rates for depression vary significantly among different assessment tools. There exists an urgent need to establish a consensus aimed at standardizing diagnostic criteria for depression through screening, thereby providing valuable guidance for clinical and nursing practice.

Through a rigorous systematic review process, our study determined that the crude prevalence of depression among cSLE patients is 27%. Notably, significant discrepancies were observed in the assessment of depression incidence based on different depression screening tools. Specifically, the prevalence assessed using CDI was 26%, while that evaluated by PHQ-9 was 41%. Other scales, including BSI, BDI and CES-D, yielded an incidence rate of 37%, highlighting substantial variation across these instruments. Our investigation also delved into potential sources of heterogeneity; however, no distinct heterogeneous literature emerged from our analysis. Additionally, all Newcastle-Ottawa Scale (NOS) scores pertaining to our methodological evaluation exceeded a score of 6, indicating high-quality literatures. The Egger’s test further confirmed that there was no significant publication bias present in our findings.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA previous meta-analysis conducted by Lijuan Zhang et al \u003csup\u003e[22]\u003c/sup\u003e. indicated that the crude prevalence of SLE among adults was 24%. Consequently, our pooled results demonstrate that the prevalence among patients with cSLE is slightly higher than that observed in adult patients. Nevertheless, owing to the disparities in measurement scales, the outcomes of our comparative analysis with adults must be approached and interpreted with a degree of caution. However, it is unequivocal that as children endure prolonged episodes of illness in the future, the repercussions of depression on their quality of life will become increasingly enduring and profound.

Furthermore, the studies included in this review demonstrated relatively high methodological rigor, as evidenced by Newcastle-Ottawa Scale (NOS) scores that were no less than 6. Additionally, we conducted a subgroup analysis which revealed significant discrepancies in the assessment of depression incidence contingent upon varying screening tools for depression. This finding holds substantial implications for clinical practice and nursing, offering valuable insights into tailored approaches for patient care.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHowever, this meta-analysis has several limitations. Firstly, the studies included were predominantly retrospective in design, which reflects real-world conditions; however, it is essential to recognize the potential for confounding biases. Secondly, all included studies had relatively small sample sizes, ranging from 24 to 106 participants. Thirdly, there is a lack of data available to analyze gender differences in the prevalence of depression among patients with cSLE.

However, there remains a lack of quantitative evidence regarding the prevalence and disease course of depression based on the currently available evidence. In this context, we conducted the first systematic review and meta-analysis addressing this important issue.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMethods:\u003c/strong\u003eThree medical databases, including PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library were utilized in this study. We included studies that reported on cSLE patients experiencing depression for a meta-analysis. STATA software were employed to synthesize the results as well as to assess heterogeneity and publication bias.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eResults: \u003c/strong\u003eTotally 12 eligible studies encompassing 652 cSLE patients were incorporated into this meta-analysis. Each of the publications included exhibited commendable methodological rigor, with Newcastle-Ottawa scores no less than 6. The pooled results with 12 articles indicated that the prevalence of depression among cSLE patients was 32.6% (95% CI: 0.25-0.40, Z=8.656, P\u0026lt;0.001). Subsequent subgroup analysis indicated that the prevalence of depression varied according to the different screening tools used: it was found to be 26% with CDI (95% CI: 0.18-0.34, P=0.023, I²=61.8%), 41% with PHQ-9 (95% CI: 0.20-0.63, P\u0026lt;0.001, I²=90.7%), and 37% with other tools such as BSI, BDI, and CES-D (95% CI: 0.21-0.53, P=0.031, I²=71.3%). Furthermore, the Egger’s test indicates that publication bias is insignificant among the studies included.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eConclusions: \u003c/strong\u003eThe prevalence of depression in patients with cSLE is slightly higher compared with adult SLE patients. It is noteworthy that screening rates for depression vary significantly among different assessment tools. There exists an urgent need to establish a consensus aimed at standardizing diagnostic criteria for depression through screening, thereby providing valuable guidance for clinical and nursing practice.\u003c/p\u003e","manuscriptTitle":"Prevalence of Depression in Childhood-Onset Systemic Lupus Erythematosus: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis","msid":"","msnumber":"","nonDraftVersions":[{"code":1,"date":"2024-12-30 07:11:55","doi":"10.21203/rs.3.rs-5708513/v1","editorialEvents":[{"type":"communityComments","content":0}],"status":"published","journal":{"display":true,"email":"[email protected]","identity":"researchsquare","isNatureJournal":false,"hasQc":true,"allowDirectSubmit":true,"externalIdentity":"","sideBox":"","snPcode":"","submissionUrl":"/submission","title":"Research Square","twitterHandle":"researchsquare","acdcEnabled":true,"dfaEnabled":false,"editorialSystem":"","reportingPortfolio":"","inReviewEnabled":false,"inReviewRevisionsEnabled":true}}],"origin":"","ownerIdentity":"4e183dc6-c013-4e7e-ab08-aa551d39652e","owner":[],"postedDate":"December 30th, 2024","published":true,"recentEditorialEvents":[],"rejectedJournal":[],"revision":"","amendment":"","status":"posted","subjectAreas":[{"id":42017443,"name":"Pediatrics"}],"tags":[],"updatedAt":"2024-12-30T07:11:55+00:00","versionOfRecord":[],"versionCreatedAt":"2024-12-30 07:11:55","video":"","vorDoi":"","vorDoiUrl":"","workflowStages":[]},"version":"v1","identity":"rs-5708513","journalConfig":"researchsquare"},"__N_SSP":true},"page":"/article/[identity]/[[...version]]","query":{"redirect":"/article/rs-5708513","identity":"rs-5708513","version":["v1"]},"buildId":"qtupq5eGEP_6zYnWcrvyt","isFallback":false,"isExperimentalCompile":false,"dynamicIds":[84888],"gssp":true,"scriptLoader":[]}
