Abstract

Abstract : Background: Uveitis is the most common extraartricular manifesation of juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA). Uveitis, a potentially blinding disorder, is present in approx 10-18% of JIA patients, with a wide spectrum of presentations. Despite advances in treatment of childhood arthritis there are no definitions for assessment of activity, damage and impact of JIA associated uveitis. Objectives: The purpose of our efforts was to develop and gain consensus on such definitions Methods: At the second consensus meeting of the MIWGUC group, using a Delphi method we developed definitions for activity, damage and impact of disease based on already published outcome measures [1 ]. Results: Conclusions: We will validate these proposed definitions propsectively in a JIA associated uveitis cohort. Based on the results, we will weight these measures to develop an overall scoring system.
