Comparative study on clinical course and prognosis of intermediate uveitis in children and adults / 眼科新进展

ABSTRACT

Objective To explore the clinical process and prognosis of middle and intermediate uveitis in children and adults.Methods A total of 121 patients with intermediate uveitis admitted to our hospital from January 2012 to December 2014 were enrolled in the study.Among them,there were 67 cases with monocular involvement and 54 cases with binocular involvement;59 cases were children and 62 cases were adults.All subjects were treated with personalized regimen according to the severity of the disease.The treatment effects and prognosis were compared between patients with different ocular involvement,children and adults.Results The total effective rate of treatment in patients with monocular involvement,children,patients with binocular involvement and adults were 92.5％,93.2％,92.6％ and 91.9％,respectively (all P ＞ 0.05).There was no significant difference in acute phase protein and visual acuity between the patients with ocular involvement and children,adults before treatment (all P ＞ 0.05),and there was no significant difference in the indexes between two groups after treatment (all P ＞ 0.05).The acute phase protein in each group after treatment was decreased,and the visual acuity was obviously increased,there were statistical differences before and after treatment (all P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion Individualized treatment regimen for patients with intermediate uveitis can improve the therapeutic effect,control inflammation and improve visual acuity.The curative effect is not significantly related to age and degree of ocular involvement.
