Purpose:
To describe and analyse a method of detailed formal health review for patients with sight-threatening uveitis using oral immunosuppression.
Methods:
Prospective clinical study of 37 patients.
Results:
Treatment side effects were absent or tolerable in 31 patients (84%) but 34 significant treatment side effects or other significant clinical findings were newly identified. Ten patients underwent a treatment change including three who transferred to a different immunosuppressive.
Conclusions:
Formal health review has proved useful in identifying treatment side effects previously not volunteered by patients. A modified form is to be embedded within our clinic management system. We recommend such reviews to enhance drug safety in patients with sight-threatening chronic uveitis using oral immunosuppressives.
