Abstract

Introduction: Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis (JIA) and its complication, chronic uveitis, present significant challenges in pediatric healthcare, particularly in developing healthcare systems like Iraq. Aim: This prospective 5-year cohort study aims to evaluate the long-term outcomes of 450 Iraqi children diagnosed with JIA-associated chronic uveitis. Methods: The study's primary objective is to assess time to uveitis remission using Kaplan-Meier survival analysis, comparing outcomes across different treatment modalities. Results:: Secondary objectives include evaluating the incidence of ocular complications, changes in visual acuity, and the impact of healthcare access issues in Iraq. Conclusion: The study provides insights into the effectiveness of biologics versus DMARDs and corticosteroids in controlling uveitis and preventing complications in the Iraqi population.
