Background

To develop and validate a novel set of ocular-centric diagnostic criteria for Behçet's uveitis (BU).

Methods

A case-control study was designed to develop the BU-specific diagnostic criteria (BU-specific diagnostic criteria).

Results

correctly told true Behçet's uveitis from look-alikes almost every time

BU-SDC

International Study Gr

Standardization of Uve

More results

The systemic features, including recurrent oral ulceration, multiform skin lesions and genital ulceration were weighted as 4 points, 3 points and 2 points, respectively.

Primary assessment was based on ocular features alone.

More results

An ocular score ≥5 supported a BU diagnosis in patients without signs of granulomatous uveitis or evidence of sarcoidosis or syphilis.

“
Conclusion

The BU-specific diagnostic criteria provides a validated ocular-centric diagnostic framework for BU, prioritising ocular signs while retaining flexibility through selective systemic integration.
