Purpose of the National Uveitis Registry
The National Uveitis Registry is available for use by all ophthalmologists in Ireland who manage patients with uveitis. It will enable us to identify epidemiological trends, audit treatment outcomes and deliver effective clinical and health service research with the overarching aim of improving outcomes for patients.
The goals of the National Uveitis Registry are:
- To define the natural history, epidemiology and clinical characteristics of uveitis over the long term
- To facilitate quality assurance and quality improvement projects
- To evaluate real world effectiveness of therapies over the long term
- To monitor adherence to best practice guidelines
- To identify risk factors for adverse health outcomes and rare adverse effects of treatment
- To help with planning of healthcare services
- To support clinical research, develop research hypotheses, and provide a platform for performing clinical trials
