Non-invasive biomarkers for close activity monitoring in birdshot chorioretinitis: Optical coherence tomography angiography and beyond.

Purpose: The purpose of the study was to identify non-invasive imaging biomarkers potentially useful for close activity monitoring in birdshot chorioretinitis (BSCR).

Methods: Cross-sectional study of BSCR eyes included as per Levinson's and/or SUN criteria. Eyes were blindly classified into active or inactive groups per clinical inflammatory parameters, ultra-widefield (UWF) pseudocolour images, UWF fluorescein angiography (FA) and macular optical coherence tomography (OCT) cube.

Burden and direct costs of non infectious uveitis in Spain.

Objectives: There is no updated information on epidemiology and cost of management of non infectious uveitis (NIU) in Spain. This study assessed the frequency of various types of uveítis as well as associated costs of resources used in their management.

Material And Method: NIU epidemiological data and direct costs were collected from a literature search.
