“…For example, Behcet disease, which can be associated with severe anterior uveitis and occlusive retinal vasculitis, is more commonly seen in racial/ethnic groups along the Silk Road, including the Middle East and Asia (5,10,31). Vogt Koyanagi Harada syndrome, which is associated with a bilateral granulomatous panuveitis, is more commonly seen in races/ethnicities with more skin pigmentation, including Asian, Native American, and Hispanic individuals (10,32,33). In the Pacific Ocular Inflammation Study, there was a higher incidence of uveitis in the Caucasian/white and black racial groups compared to Pacific Islanders (12).…”

Purpose: Non-infectious uveitis is a leading cause of vision loss in the developed world. The purpose of this systematic review is to investigate the epidemiology and risk factors of non-infectious uveitis over the last 50 years.Methods: A systematic literature search of Pubmed/MEDLINE database was performed in the 50-year period from January 1971 to January 2021, according to the PRISMA guidelines. Studies that assessed the epidemiology and risk factors for non-infectious uveitis were included.Results: Few epidemiologic studies focus specifically on non-infectious uveitis. In the Unites States, the estimated prevalence of non-infectious uveitis is 121/100,000. The incidence and prevalence varies considerably worldwide. Females and the working age group (20–50 years) appear to be the most affected. Smoking and vitamin D deficiency are the biggest risk factors for non-infectious uveitis, while pregnancy appears to be protective. Additional risk factors include presence of other autoimmune diseases (thyroid disease, diabetes, celiac), pre-eclampsia/eclampsia, psychological stress, and certain medications (bisphosphonates, immune checkpoint inhibitors, female hormone therapy, and etanercept).Discussion: Our systematic review summarizes the incidence and prevalence of non-infectious uveitis and associated modifiable and non-modifiable risk factors.

“…Referral centres in the USA have reported variable rates depending on location, from approximately 0.2% of all uveitis [19,20], to 18–25% of panuveitis and 2.3–3.3% of all uveitis [21,22]. Increased rates in certain regions of the USA have been attributed to increased density of previously mentioned Asian, Hispanic and Native American populations [19–22,23 ▪ ,24].…”

Purpose of reviewHere, we provide an overview of Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada disease (VKH), including recent updates in our understanding of disease pathophysiology, classification and therapeutics. Recent findingsAdvancements in bioinformatics, metabolomics and genomics investigations continue to illuminate VKH pathogenesis, and may provide insight into future therapeutic options. Multimodal imaging is indispensable in the initial evaluation of VKH, and is becoming increasingly important in understanding disease pathogenesis, as well as monitoring therapeutic response. Enhanced VKH classification criteria, released in 2021, provide standardized guidelines and terminology for clinical and research purposes.
