BACKGROUND
Endogenous uveitis has long been considered to be uncommon in elderly patients. Recently, population-based studies have shown an increase in the incidence of uveitis with inreasing age. It was the aim of this study to analyse the age distribution of patients presenting with endogenous uveitis in the setting of an eye centre.
METHODS
Retrospective cohort analysis.
RESULTS
278 patients with endogenous uveitis showed the following age distribution: 0 - 15: 9, 15 - 30: 28, 30 - 45: 73, 45 - 60: 78, >60: 90 (age group: number of patients). Localization of uveitis was 82,4% anterior, 9,4% intermedia, 12,9% posterior. Two patients >60y were diagnosed with a masquerade syndrome.
CONCLUSIONS
A large number of patients presenting with endogenous uveitis is in the elderly age group. An early and appropriate diagnostic work-up for uveitis is recommended for the elderly.
背景
内源性葡萄膜炎长期以来被认为在老年患者中并不常见。最近，基于人群的研究表明，葡萄膜炎的发病率随着年龄增长而增加。本研究的目的是分析在眼科中心就诊的内源性葡萄膜炎患者的年龄分布情况。
方法
回顾性队列分析。
结果
278例内源性葡萄膜炎患者的年龄分布如下：0 - 15岁：9例，15 - 30岁：28例，30 - 45岁：73例，45 - 60岁：78例，>60岁：90例（年龄组：患者数量）。葡萄膜炎的部位为前部82.4%，中间部9.4%，后部12.9%。两名>60岁的患者被诊断为伪装综合征。
结论
大量内源性葡萄膜炎患者为老年年龄组。建议对老年人进行早期且适当的葡萄膜炎诊断检查。
