To identify the multidisciplinary uveitis units in which internal medicine departments participate in collaboration with ophthalmology departments in Spain.
We conducted a multicentre, observational cross-sectional study that collected information using a structured survey sent by email to 1015 partners of the Systemic Autoimmune Diseases Workgroup of the Spanish Society of Internal Medicine (GEAS-SEMI) from the 1st to the 31st of March 2017.
We identified a total of 21 support units/consultations for the ophthalmology departments. Seventeen (81%) of the units were specific internal medicine-ophthalmology consultations, and 5 (24%) units had been created in the past 5 years. A median of 460 patients were assessed per unit by the end of the year.
This study shows, for the first time in Spain, the important and close collaboration between ophthalmologists and internists, especially in highly specialized national reference institutions.
确定西班牙内科部门与眼科部门合作的多学科葡萄膜炎单位。
我们进行了一项多中心、观察性的横断面研究，于 2017 年 3 月 1 日至 31 日，通过电子邮件向西班牙内科学会系统性自身免疫疾病工作组（GEAS-SEMI）的 1015 名合作伙伴发送了一份结构化调查，收集相关信息。
我们共确定了 21 个眼科部门的支持单位/咨询点。其中 17 个（81%）为特定的内科-眼科咨询点，5 个（24%）咨询点是在过去 5 年内设立的。每个单位年底平均评估 460 名患者。
这项研究首次在西班牙展示了眼科医生和内科医生之间的重要而密切的合作，尤其是在高度专业化的国家级参考机构中。
