TitleSystemic manifestations and visual prognosis in patients with Behcet’s uveitis
PurposeTo investigate the association of systemic manifestations in Behcet’s disease (BD) with visual prognosis in patients diagnosed with Behcet’s uveitis and were followed for ≥ 3 years.
MethodsEighty-four eyes of 42 patients with BD and ocular inflammation were included. Charts were reviewed for gender, onset age of uveitis, systemic manifestations, degree of ocular inflammation, treatment, and initial and final visual acuity (VA). Visual outcome measures such as initial and final VA, changes in VA between initial and final visit, percentage of patients with severe visual loss of ≤ 20/200 at final visit were investigated by BD classification.
ResultsTwenty-two patients (52.4%) were male and the average onset age of uveitis was 41.6 years. According to revised Shimizu’s classification, 6 cases (14.3%) were the complete type, 27 (64.3%) were the incomplete type, and 9 (21.4%) were the possible type. There was no significant difference in initial logMAR VA (complete; 0.358±0.497 vs. incomplete; 0.495±0.725 vs. probable; 0.529±0.572, p=0.771) and final logMAR VA (complete; 0.484±0.849 vs. incomplete; 0.484±0.856 vs. probable; 0.589±0.949, p=0.903). The changes in logMAR VA between initial and final visit (p=0.844) and the percentage of patients with severe visual loss (complete; 16.7% vs. incomplete; 20.4% vs. probable; 22.2%, p=0.373) were also not statistically significant between BD classification.
ConclusionNo significant association were found between the BD classification and visual prognosis in Behcet's uveitis.
