Quantitative and qualitative assessment of anterior segment optical coherence tomography capture of disease state in childhood anterior uveitis.

Background/aims: Anterior segment optical coherence tomography (AS-OCT) assessment of anterior chamber inflammation is an emerging tool. We describe the performance of AS-OCT in a paediatric population.

Methods: A mixed-methods prospective study, using routine clinical assessment as reference standard, and AS-OCT, with Tomey CASIA2 or Heidelberg Spectralis HS1, as index test, with data collected on patient perceptions of imaging.

Imaging-Based Uveitis Surveillance in Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis: Feasibility, Acceptability, and Diagnostic Performance.

Objective: Children with juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) need regular examinations for uveitis to avoid visual morbidity from the most common extraarticular manifestation of disease. This study was undertaken to investigate the feasibility, acceptability, and performance of optical coherence tomography (OCT) imaging-based diagnosis of uveitis.

Methods: This observational cross-sectional study included children with and those without uveitis.
