Children with all of the above risk factors should be screened frequently but if they receive TNF inhibitor or methotrexate therapy, they may be screened less frequently. Children with none of the risk factors do not benefit from long-term screening for uveitis. A guideline for intervals and overall length of screening was prepared considering currently known risk factors for JIA-uveitis, the Nordic population and previous guidelines.
