Amaç: Juvenil idiyopatik artrit (JİA), eklem iltihabı ve doku hasarına neden olan çocukluk çağı romatizmal bir hastalıktır. Enfeksiyöz olmayan üveit, JİA’nın en sık görülen eklem dışı belirtisidir. Bu çalışmanın amacı, JIA’lı hastalarda üveit oluşumunda ve tekrarlamasında rol oynayan risk faktörlerini değerlendirmek ve artrit ile üveit aktivitesi arasındaki ilişkiyi belirlemektir.
Gereç ve Yöntemler: Bu retrospektif, kesitsel çalışmaya Türkiye’deki bir sevk merkezinden üveiti olan/olmayan JIA hastaları dahil edildi. Hastalık aktivitesini değerlendirmek için Juvenil Artrit Hastalık Aktivite Skoru kullanıldı ve artrit ve üveit için ayrı ayrı hesaplandı.
Bulgular: Üveit 195 JIA hastasının 26’sında (%13.3) görüldü. 26 JIA-U hastasının 19’unda (%73) oligoartiküler alt tip vardı. Üveitli JİA’nın tanı ortanca yaşı üveitsiz JİA’ya göre daha gençti (p=0.015). Oligoartiküler JİA üveit nüksü ile ilişkili bulunmuştur (p=0.021). Tekrarlayan üveiti olan hastalarda artrit ve üveitin ortaya çıkış yaşı anlamlı olarak daha gençti (sırasıyla p=0.041, p=0.002). Üveit başlangıcındaki medyan JADAS27 skoru tekrarlayan grupta daha düşüktü (p=0.038).
Sonuç: Erken yaş, üveit oluşumu ve nüksü için önemli bir risk faktörüdür. Hastalık seyri sırasında, düşük hastalık aktivitesine sahip hastalarda da üveit gelişebileceğini unutmamak önemlidir.
Objective: Juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) is a childhood rheumatic disease that causes joint inflammation and tissue damage. Non-infectious uveitis is the most common extra-articular manifestation of JIA.The aim of this study is to evaluate the risk factors that play a role in occurrence and recurrence of uveitis and, to determine the relationship between arthritis and uveitis activity in patients with JIA.
Material and Methods: This retrospective, cross sectional study included JIA patients with/without uveitis from a referral center in Turkey. The Juvenile Arthritis Disease Activity Score was used to evaluate the disease activity and calculated for arthritis and uveitis separately.
Results: Uveitis was seen in 26 (13.3%) of 195 JIA patients. Of 26 JIA associated uveitis (JIA-U) patients, 19 (73%) had an oligoarticular subtype. The median age at diagnosis of JIA with uveitis was younger than without uveitis (p=0.015). Oligoarticular JIA was found to be associated with recurrence of uveitis (p=0.021). The occurrence age of arthritis and uveitis was significantly younger in patients with recurrent uveitis (p=0.041, p=0.002, respectively). The median JADAS27 score at the onset of uveitis was lower in the recurrent group (p=0.038).
Conclusion: Early age is a significant risk factor for occurrence and recurrence of uveitis. It is important to remember that, during the disease course, patients with low disease activity may also develop uveitis.

If the articles sent to the reviewers for evaluation are assessed as a senior for publication by the reviewers, the section editor and the editor considering all aspects (originality, high scientific quality and citation potential), it receives publication priority in addition to the articles assigned for the next issue.
The aim of the Turkish Journal of Pediatrics is to publish high-quality original research articles that will contribute to the international literature in the field of general pediatric health and diseases and its sub-branches. It also publishes editorial opinions, letters to the editor, reviews, case reports, book reviews, comments on previously published articles, meeting and conference proceedings, announcements, and biography. In addition to the field of child health and diseases, the journal also includes articles prepared in fields such as surgery, dentistry, public health, nutrition and dietetics, social services, human genetics, basic sciences, psychology, psychiatry, educational sciences, sociology and nursing, provided that they are related to this field. can be published.
