Predictors for the prognosis of retinal vasculitis in uveitis patients and factors that characterize subsets of retinal vasculitis

In a retrospective review of 1,307 uveitis patients seen at a tertiary referral center, retinal vasculitis was identified in 11% of cases, with an estimated frequency of 14.2% when accounting for idiopathic uveitis. Only 21.2% had an associated systemic immune‑mediated disease. Bilateral involvement and systemic disease association predicted better visual outcomes than unilateral or primary retinal vasculitis. Gender, baseline vision, and etiologic subgroup independently predicted visual improvement. This study provides one of the first U.S. analyses of retinal vasculitis across uveitis subsets and offers new insights into visual prognosis in affected patients.
