Abstract
There are currently no official uveitis screening guidelines for children with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). In this retrospective cohort study of children with IBD with at least 1 ophthalmologist examination over 12 years, we investigated the prevalence and characteristics of uveitis in pediatric IBD. Outcomes included prevalence of uveitis, age at onset, and clinical characteristics of uveitis. A total of 315 children with IBD (mean age, 11.7 ± 4.3) had 974 eye examinations. Five children (1.6%; 95% CI, 0.7%-3.7%) had uveitis, with mean age at onset of 14.3 ± 5.6 years. Three of 209 children with Crohn's disease (1.4%; 95% CI, 0.5%-4.1%), 2 of 55 with IBD-unclassified (3.6%; 95% CI, 1.0%-12.3%) and 0 of 51 with ulcerative colitis (95% CI, 0.0%-7.0%) had uveitis. All uveitis was symptomatic. In our study cohort, uveitis was rare and symptomatic in pediatric IBD.
