To evaluate the effectiveness of the anterior segment optical coherence tomography (AS-OCT) for the screening of anterior uveitis in children diagnosed with juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA).
A cross-sectional, observational, non-randomised study was conducted in JIA patients younger than 18 years. All patients underwent anterior segment (AS-OCT) and macular OCT.
A total of 300 eyes of 150 patients diagnosed with JIA were included; 74% were females, and mean age was 11.12 ± 3.51 years old (range 4.13-18.60). In the slit-lamp examination, anterior uveitis was diagnosed in 16 eyes. In the AS-OCT, anterior uveitis was suspected in 27 eyes; cells were detected in 27 eyes and retrokeratic precipitates in 5 eyes. Sensitivity was 0.94 and specificity was 0.96, positive predictive value was 0.59 and negative predictive value was 0.99, and Kappa-Cohen index was 0.71.
AS-OCT could be considered for the screening of anterior segment uveitis in children diagnosed with JIA.
评估眼前节光学相干断层扫描（AS-OCT）在儿童幼年特发性关节炎（JIA）患者中筛查前葡萄膜炎的有效性。
进行了一项横断面、观察性、非随机研究，纳入了年龄小于 18 岁的 JIA 患者。所有患者均行眼前节（AS-OCT）和黄斑 OCT 检查。
共纳入 150 例 JIA 患者的 300 只眼；74%为女性，平均年龄为 11.12±3.51 岁（范围为 4.13-18.60）。裂隙灯检查诊断出 16 只眼存在前葡萄膜炎。AS-OCT 检查怀疑 27 只眼存在前葡萄膜炎；27 只眼检测到细胞，5 只眼检测到后弹力层皱褶。敏感性为 0.94，特异性为 0.96，阳性预测值为 0.59，阴性预测值为 0.99，Kappa-Cohen 指数为 0.71。
AS-OCT 可用于筛查诊断为 JIA 的儿童的前节葡萄膜炎。
