Risk Markers of Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis-associated Uveitis in the Childhood Arthritis and Rheumatology Research Alliance (CARRA) Registry

Abstract

In the CARRA registry, the prevalence of JIA-U in AA and NHW children is 11.6%. We confirmed known uveitis risk markers (ANA positivity, younger age at arthritis onset, and oligoarticular JIA). We describe a decreased likelihood of uveitis in AA children and recommend further exploration of race as a risk factor in a larger population of AA children.
