OBJECTIVE To describe clinical characteristics and outcomes of adults with uveitis associated with juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA). METHODS Retrospective chart review from 2001 to 2014 of adult patients with JIA and follow-up ≥2 months. Outcome measures included visual acuity, intraocular pressure (IOP), inflammation grade, ocular findings/complications, immunosuppressive therapies, and surgeries. RESULTS Nineteen patients were included (95% female, 84% bilateral uveitis, 47% anterior uveitis). Mean (SD) ages at presentation and JIA diagnosis were 25.6 (7.8) years and 8.9 (5.6) years, respectively. Visual acuity and IOP did not significantly change throughout the study. Mean (SD) presenting inflammation grade was significantly decreased at 6 and 12 months. Fifteen (79%) patients were on topical medications, and 17 (89%) were on systemic immunosuppression. Two (12%) patients developed side effects requiring medication cessation. CONCLUSIONS Uveitis associated with JIA may extend into adulthood despite the use of topical medications and/or systemic immunosuppression and result in significant ocular morbidity, including the need for surgical intervention.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007166 Immunosuppressive Agents Agents that suppress immune function by one of several mechanisms of action. Classical cytotoxic immunosuppressants act by inhibiting DNA synthesis. Others may act through activation of T-CELLS or by inhibiting the activation of HELPER CELLS. While immunosuppression has been brought about in the past primarily to prevent rejection of transplanted organs, new applications involving mediation of the effects of INTERLEUKINS and other CYTOKINES are emerging.

D001171 Arthritis, Juvenile Arthritis in children, with onset before 16 years of age. The terms juvenile rheumatoid arthritis (JRA) and juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) refer to classification systems for chronic arthritis in children. Only one subtype of juvenile arthritis (polyarticular-onset, rheumatoid factor-positive) clinically resembles adult rheumatoid arthritis and is considered its childhood equivalent.

D012189 Retrospective Studies Studies used to test etiologic hypotheses in which inferences about an exposure to putative causal factors are derived from data relating to characteristics of persons under study or to events or experiences in their past. The essential feature is that some of the persons under study have the disease or outcome of interest and their characteristics are compared with those of unaffected persons.
