Uveitis is a frequent complication of juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) and can lead to permanent visual impairment. There is currently no standard approach to the treatment of uveitis. Recently, the CARRA uveitis subcommittee developed consensus treatment plans (CTPs) for two different scenarios in the treatment of JIA-associated uveitis. As with other CTPs, the intention of these plans, which each offer multiple options for therapy, is to streamline care in a way that allows for efficient collection of data using the CARRA registry. The ultimate goal is to be able to compare outcomes between treatment arms for both plans. We propose here a pilot study of the implementation of these CTPs at 9 CARRA sites to better understand the practical aspects of patient enrollment and data collection.
