Effectiveness and Safety of Anti-Tumor Necrosis Factor-Alpha Agents Treatment in Behcets’ Disease-Associated Uveitis: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis

Abstract: Purpose: We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis to determine the effectiveness and safety of anti-tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-a) agents in the treatment of Behcets' disease (BD)-associated uveitis. Method: Three electronic databases, Embase, MEDLINE, and the Cochrane Library, were searched for eligible papers focusing on the anti-TNF-a agents treatment in BD-associated uveitis with at least 6 months follow-up time. A systematic review and meta-analysis was conducted on selected papers with app… Show more

“…Recurrent bilateral uveitis is prevalent in approximately two-thirds of Bechet’s disease patients ( 26 ), with 25% of these patients prone to developing blindness ( 27 ). In addition, serious complications can occur even in an early stage of Bechet’s disease-associated uveitis, such as retinal lesions (75 -80%) ( 28 ), cataracts (39.5%) and secondary glaucoma (17.1%) ( 29 ), leading to visual impairment.…”

“…The overall uveitis remission rate was 68% (95% CI 0.59 to 0.79), visual acuity improvement rate was 60% (95% CI 0.47 to 0.77) and central macular thickness decrease was 112.70 μm (95% CI 72.8 to 153.0) with a significant corticosteroid-sparing effect. In this review, 2.62% of patients had serious side effects [ 88 ]. Furthermore, Vallet et al retrospectively evaluated the adalimumab and infliximab efficacy in 160 refractory uveitis, including 36% of BD uveitis.…”

“…Recently, a SR and meta-analysis evaluating the efficacy of infliximab and adalimumab in BS uveitis was published. 38 They included articles published between January 2010 and September 2019 with a minimum of 10 patients and a minimum of 6 months of follow-up. Eighteen studies with a total of 968 patients (M/F= 65%/ 35%) were included.…”
