Purpose: Patients with juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) associated uveitis (JIAU) are at risk for secondary glaucoma, frequently requiring surgical management. We compared the success rates for trabeculectomy (TE) and Ahmed glaucoma valve (AGV) implantation.
Methods: We conducted a retrospective analysis of TE (45 eyes), primary AGV (pAGV) (7 eyes), or secondary AGV (sAGV) implantation after TE (11 eyes) in JIAU at the 2-year follow-up.
Article Synopsis
- The study focuses on entheseitis-related arthritis (ERA), a type of juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA), and its connection to anterior uveitis, highlighting the prevalence and characteristics of this condition among affected children.
- Based on data from the National Pediatric Rheumatological Database, it was found that out of 24,841 JIA patients, 3778 had ERA, and among those, 280 (7.4%) developed uveitis, with a significant number showing acute symptoms.
- The study concluded that ERA-related uveitis has similarities to adult HLA-B27-associated uveitis, but some patients experience uveitis without noticeable symptoms; systemic treatments might lower the risk of uve
