Factors associated with delays in the diagnosis of childhood onset uveitis: findings from a nation-wide cohort study

The authors aimed to identify factors associated with delays in the diagnosis of childhood onset uveitis. Their study found that the median time from symptom onset to diagnosis was 9 days, with bilateral disease and initial presentation to primary care being significant predictors of increased delay. Additionally, younger age and socioeconomic deprivation were linked to a higher likelihood of structural complications at diagnosis, highlighting the need for improved awareness and referral pathways in primary care.
