Resumen

Propósito: Describir las diferencias entre la uveítis de novo en pacientes de edad avanzada (≥60 años) y pacientes más jóvenes (< 60 años) en Colombia. Métodos: Estudio observacional, analítico, transversal. Resultados: En el grupo de ancianos, la uveítis idiopática fue la más frecuente, seguida de la inmunomediada y la infecciosa. No se diagnosticaron síndromes enmascarados. Los pacientes ancianos presentaban una agudeza visual media peor que los jóvenes. Se observaron diferencias significativas entre ambos grupos en edema corneal, edema macular, catarata, glaucoma y membrana epirretiniana. Además, hubo diferencias en los fármacos utilizados, como hipotensores tópicos, lubricantes oculares, esteroides tópicos, metotrexato, hidroxicloroquina y adalimumab. Conclusiones: El presente estudio demostró diferencias significativas entre pacientes colombianos ancianos y jóvenes con uveítis de novo. Los oftalmólogos deben conocer estos patrones de presentación, lo que ayudaría a llegar a un diagnóstico adecuado y prevenir complicaciones con base en las características de cada grupo.

abstract = "Purpose: To describe the differences between de novo uveitis in elderly patients (≥60 years of age) and younger patients (< 60 years of age) in Colombia. Methods: Observational, analytic, cross-sectional study. Results: In the elderly group, idiopathic was the most common type of uveitis, followed by immune-mediated and infectious uveitis.No masquerade syndromes were diagnosed. Elderly patients had worse average visual acuities than young. Significant differences between both groups were observed in corneal edema, macular edema, cataract, glaucoma, and epiretinal membrane. Additionally, there were differences in the drugs used, such as topical hypotensive drugs, ocular lubricants, topical steroids, methotrexate, hydroxychloroquine, and adalimumab. Conclusion: The present study demonstrated significant differences between elderly and young Colombian patients with de novo uveitis. The ophthalmologists should be aware of these patterns of presentation, which would help reach an adequate diagnosis and prevent complications based on the characteristics of each group.",
