Prognostic factors for TB-associated uveitis in the Asia-Pacific Region: results of a modified Delphi survey.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Prognostic factors for TB-associated uveitis (TBU) remain mostly unknown, due to the challenges in interpretation of patient data. We present consensus list of prognostic factors for resolution of inflammation in TBU, by experts across the Asia-Pacific region.

Methods

We applied a modified Delphi technique to generate consensus on prognostic factors influencing the resolution of inflammation in TB-associated: anterior uveitis (AU), retinal vasculitis (RV), and multifocal serpiginoid choroiditis (MSC). The initial questionnaire was developed through a face-to-face meeting. Sixteen uveitis experts from eleven Asia-Pacific countries were included. A single investigator circulated the questionnaire electronically and received the responses. Participants scored each it
