Purpose: HLA-A29 is the main susceptibility factor for birdshot chorioretinitis (BSCR). Our study assessed the impact of the second HLA-A allele alongside HLA-A29 on BSCR severity and susceptibility, focusing on HLA-A29 homozygous patients and those with alleles from the HLA-Aw19 group.
Methods: We included 120 additional cases to our previous analysis of 286 patients with BSCR, all HLA-A29 positive.
Purpose: Birdshot chorioretinitis (BSCR) is an ocular HLA-related disease with variable clinical progression. We examine the quality of life (QOL) of BSCR individuals aged ≥80 years, providing insights into the long-term disease impact.
Methods: We utilized data from the CO-BIRD cohort (ClinicalTrials.
Article Synopsis
- Birdshot chorioretinitis (BSCR) is a chronic eye disease that affects both central and peripheral vision, prompting a study on how patients' visual acuity and field change over time.* -
- The study involved 447 patients and revealed that as the disease progressed, the best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) notably decreased, particularly after 11-15 years, and other visual field measurements worsened over longer durations.* -
- Findings indicated significant variability in visual outcomes among patients, which tended to worsen with disease duration, underscoring the need for monitoring and understanding the long-term effects of BSCR.*
Purpose: To assess the manifestations of birdshot chorioretinitis (BSCR) in patients aged 80 and over.
Design: Among patients with BSCR followed in the CO-BIRD prospective cohort (ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT05153057), we analyzed the subgroup of patients aged 80 and over.
