ABSTRACT
This study aimed to investigate the clinical features and risk factors of uveitis in Korean children with juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA). The medical records of JIA patients diagnosed between 2006 and 2019 and followed up for ≥1 year were retrospectively reviewed, and various factors including laboratory findings were analyzed for the risk of developing uveitis. JIA-associated uveitis (JIA-U) developed in 30 (9.8%) of 306 JIA patients. The mean age at the first uveitis development was 12.4 ± 5.7 years, which was 5.6 ± 3.7 years after the JIA diagnosis. The common JIA subtypes in the uveitis group were oligoarthritis-persistent (33.3%) and enthesitis-related arthritis (30.0%). The uveitis group had more baseline knee joint involvement (76.7% vs. 51.4%), which increased the risk of JIA-U during follow-up (p = 0.008). Patients with the oligoarthritis-persistent subtype developed JIA-U more frequently than those without it (20.0% vs. 7.8%; p = 0.016). The final visual acuity of JIA-U was tolerable (0.041 ± 0.103 logMAR). In Korean children with JIA, JIA-U may be associated with the oligoarthritis-persistent subtype and knee joint involvement.
