“…Rheumatic diseases are a group of illnesses characterized by inflammation of the connective tissue, usually of autoimmunological origin 1 . It includes juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA), juvenile spondyloarthropathies, reactive arthritis, sarcoidosis, systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), Behcet disease, antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody associated vasculitides, Sjogren syndrome, undifferentiated spondyloarthropathy and systemic scleroderma 1 . The ocular involvement in rheumatic diseases may result from the ocular inflammation and can cause blurring of vision and visual loss 2 .…”

Background: Rheumatic diseases are characterised by inflammation of the joints, muscles, bones and skin. The musculoskeletal system is commonly involved in rheumatic diseases but ocular involvement, which can lead to loss of vision, may be a clue to the diagnosis or may add to the severity of disease. There is paucity of data regarding ophthalmic findings in children with rheumatic diseases, especially in India.Objectives: To describe the clinical spectrum of ocular manifestations in paediatric rheumatic diseases in a tertiary level paediatric hospital in South India. Method:A hospital-based cross-sectional, observational study was conducted in which 220 children diagnosed with rheumatic diseases were subjected to complete ophthalmic evaluation between January 2019 and June 2020 and the different ocular manifestations were documented. Results:Of the 220 children with rheumatic disease, 29 (13.2%) had ocular involvement. Anterior uveitis was the most common ocular finding occurring in 8 (29.6%) cases. Duration of the disease and HLA B 27 had significant association with abnormal ophthalmic findings. _________________________________________ 1

Standardization of red flags for referral to rheumatologists and ophthalmologists in patients with rheumatic diseases and ocular involvement: a consensus statement

Ocular involvement is a common manifestation of inflammatory rheumatic diseases, often requiring a multidisciplinary collaboration between rheumatologists and ophthalmologists. The aim of this study was to standardize "red flags" for referral for rheumatologists and ophthalmologists using a Delphi consensus for the management of rheumatic diseases with ocular involvement. The scientific board comprised 11 Italian hospital-based rheumatologists (N = 6) and ophthalmologists (N = 5). A systematic review identified potential red flags for referral. The panel developed 19 statements consisting of (a) referral from ophthalmologist to rheumatologist (b) referral from rheumatologist to ophthalmologist and (c) overarching principles relating to multidisciplinary roles/goals and management. Voting was performed anonymously using an online Delphi method. Each participant expressed a level of agreement on each statement using a 5-point scale (1="strongly disagree"; 5="strongly agree"). Total cumulative agreement was defined as the sum of the percentage of response to items 4 ("agree") and 5 ("absolutely agree"), consensus defined as ≥ 80% cumulative agreement for each statement. Positive consensus among 11 participants was reached for 15/19 (78.9%) statements. Statements not reaching consensus were discussed in a face-to-face meeting prior to the second vote (10 participants). Positive consensus was reached for all 19 statements, with final total cumulative agreement of 90-100%. This is the first Delphi consensus undertaken to standardize red flags for referral to rheumatologists and ophthalmologists for patients with rheumatic diseases and ocular involvement.
