Purpose: To identify factors associated with glaucoma surgery in pediatric uveitis.
Methods: Patients diagnosed with uveitis before their 18 birthday and with an observation period of at least one year were included in a retrospective case-control study.
Results: A total of 185 patients were included, 84 of whom had undergone glaucoma surgery.
Background: To investigate the possible associations between childhood noninfectious uveitis and cardio-respiratory fitness, physical activity, health related quality of life and fatigue.
Methods: Cross-sectional analysis of 23 patients with noninfectious uveitis, aged 8-18 years. BMI, exercise capacity, muscle strength and physical activity were measured.
Article Synopsis
- The study compared the effectiveness of high dose (≥ 15mg/m2/week) versus low dose (<15mg/m2/week) methotrexate in pediatric patients with autoimmune uveitis, focusing on the time it took for patients to reach remission while on medication.
- Researchers analyzed data from 42 pediatric patients treated at the University Medical Center Groningen between 1990 and 2014, finding that 66.7% achieved remission with a median time of 22.5 months.
- Results indicated that patients on high dose methotrexate reached remission significantly faster (median 16.6 months) compared to those on low dose (median 35.2 months) with no notable differences in side effects
Purpose: To analyze visual outcome, effectiveness of various modes of antibiotic treatment, and prognostic factors in patients with serologically proven syphilitic uveitis.
Methods: The clinical records of 85 patients (139 eyes) diagnosed with syphilitic uveitis between 1984 and 2013 at tertiary centers in The Netherlands were retrospectively analyzed.
Results: Mean age was 47 years (range, 27-73 years), 82.
Purpose: To analyze the visual outcome, systemic associations, effectiveness of treatment, and predicting features of 104 scleritis patients.
Design: Retrospective case series.
Participants: One hundred four patients treated for scleritis at the University Medical Centers of Groningen and Utrecht, The Netherlands.
