Assessment of measurement methods of posterior inflammation in stromal choroiditis: The value of quantitative outcome measures vs the presently qualitatively based paradigm
International Ophthalmology Jun 29, 2018
Gillmann K, et al. - Researchers evaluated posterior inflammation using a fluorescein (FA)/indocyanine-green angiography (ICGA) scoring system, and compared them to the presently recommended outcome measure, the standardization of uveitis nomenclature vitreous haze score (SUN-VH) in stromal choroiditis. The precise measurement of global posterior inflammation achieved by a dual FA/ICGA scoring system in stromal choroiditis was highlighted in the findings. On the contrary, the inclusion of only a minute percentage of the studied eyes in a clinical trial based on this criterion could account for observed imprecision and inadequacy of SUN-VH scale. They strongly advise the use of dual FA/ICGA to evaluate posterior intraocular inflammation meaningfully in stromal choroiditis. They also suggested the replacement of the presently recommended SUN-VH system.
