Popis: AimTo determine the risk factors for macular edema (ME) in children with uveitis.MethodsA retrospective study was conducted of 150 pediatric patients (264 eyes) with uveitis attending 2 tertiary medical centers. Data were collected from the medical files on demographics, type of uveitis, etiology, clinical findings, treatment, and time to development of ME. Risk factors for the development of ME were identified.ResultsME developed in 63 eyes (23.9%) over a mean period of 15.3 ± 2.95 months from diagnosis of uveitis, at a rate of 0.08 eyes per eye-year. On univariate analysis, risk factors for the development of ME were the non-anterior location of the inflammation (p=0.002), band keratopathy (p
