Outcomes of children with juvenile idiopathic arthritis-associated uveitis
Description: Principal Investigator/Program Director (Last, first, middle): Angeles-Han, Sheila, T Project Narrative Juvenile idiopathic arthritis-associated uveitis (JIA-U) is an inflammatory eye disease that affects 20% of children with JIA. This research will validate known risk factors and identify new risk markers of JIA-U, identifying populations of children at greatest risk for severe disability and blindness. It is anticipated that early detection of JIA-U, regular monitoring for eye disease and complications, and institution of appropriate therapy can significantly improve our children's quality of life and long-term outcomes.
