Visual acuity and visual field as a function of disease duration in patients with birdshot chorioretinitis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Birdshot chorioretinitis (BSCR) is a chronic bilateral posterior uveitis, which can affect central as well as peripheral vision. The aim of this study was to assess how visual acuity and visual field evolved over time in patients with BSCR.

Methods

This was a prospective, observational, single-centre study based on data from the CO-BIRD cohort. Patient visits were categorised based on the time elapsed since the first symptoms, and groups of patients with different disease duration were defined. The main outcome measures were the best corrected visual acuity (BCVA), the mean deviation (MD) and the standard pattern deviation (PSD).

Results

The study included 447 Caucasian patients (181 males and 266 females), all of whom HLA-A29 carriers. From onset to 30 yea
