Abstract
To describe the incidence, prevalence and etiologies of uveitis in Madrid, Spain. A retrospective cross-sectional study was performed in a single hospital. All consecutive cases of uveitis that attended the Hospital during year 2019 were included. Mean incidence and prevalence were calculated. Three hundred and one cases were included. Of these, 127 were incident. This represents an incidence of 21.24 new cases per 100,000 persons/year, and a prevalence was 50.43 cases per 100,000 persons. Mean age was 56.89±18.78years, and 159 were women (52.8%). Sixty-two cases were infectious (20.6%). Age (p=.005), initial visual acuity (p=.001) and cystoid macular oedema (CMO; p =.010) were found to be independent predictors of the final best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) in patients with uveitis. Uveitis affects approximately 1 in 1800 persons in northern Madrid. Younger age, better initial visual acuities and the presence of CMO predicted better final BCVA.
