The analysis described demographics, comorbidities, aggregated diagnosis groups (ADGs), resource utilization, income quintiles, and systemic therapy use. Annual age\/sex-standardized, and age-specific incidence rates of limited and persistent uveitis were determined.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Results<\/strong> \u2014 Between 2000 and 2023, 289 031 limited and 41 482 persistent uveitis cases were identified, with mean index ages of 56.8 (SD 21.0) and 58.3 (SD 20.3) years, respectively. A higher proportion of children and youth were identified with limited duration uveitis. Sex distribution was similar between groups, and 89%\u201391% of cases resided in urban areas. Persistent uveitis cases had significantly more moderate to high ADGs (86.0%) compared with limited cases (16.2%), with hypertension being the most prevalent comorbidity in both limited (43.8%) and persistent (46.4%) uveitis cases. Persistent cases also had substantially higher resource utilization than limited uveitis cases. Incidence rates were higher for limited uveitis overall and among older age groups. Annual age-specific incidence declined in older age groups but increased over time for children with limited duration uveitis.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Conclusions<\/strong> \u2014 This study highlights significant age-related trends in uveitis incidence, including an increase in pediatric cases and a high incidence of uveitis among the elderly. Age-specific health care strategies and resource planning are essential for adapting interventions and ensuring timely access to care.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Objective \u2014 To compare the clinical and sociodemographic characteristics of limited and persistent uveitis cases and temporal trends in incidence in Ontario.
