Course of uveitis in children with juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA): Five years follow-up data from a prospective multicenter Inception Cohort of Newly diagnosed patients with JIA (ICON-JIA) study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Juvenile idiopathic arthritis-associated uveitis (JIAU) typically takes a chronic course, frequently leading to ocular complications and often requiring long-term treatment. The present study assesses the 5-years outcome of JIAU by analyzing data from a prospective study initiated in 2010.

Methods

Data from 75 patients with onset of uveitis after study enrollment, and with a documentation at 5-years follow-up (5yFU) were available for analysis of uveitis characteristics, frequency and predictors of "inactivity on medication " (defined as inactive uveitis for ≥ 6 months) and "inactivity off medication " (defined as inactive uveitis for ≥ 6 months off medication).
