Eligibility
Key inclusion criteria
We included the active ocular Behcet’s disease (BD) patients with posterior segment involvement.. The diagnosis of BD will reached according to the criteria of the International Study Group for Behcet’s Disease. Subjects with at least 2 months of lesion-free period were regarded in the inactive disease period, and subjects with any oral, skin, and/or genital lesions will regarded as in the active disease period. Patients and healthy volunteers that were matched for age and gender included in this study
Minimum age
20 Years
Maximum age
50 Years
Sex
Both males and females
Can healthy volunteers participate?
Yes
Key exclusion criteria
Patients and healthy volunteers who were on any kind of medication including corticosteroid and immunosuppressive therapy, who had smoking (smoke more than 1 cigarette per day) and drinking ( >1 standard drink per week) habits, or who had history of systemic and ocular disease will not included in the study

Statistical methods / analysis
We require about at least 25 participants per three groups (Active, inactive, control). Differences among the three groups for thrombophilic parameters will evaluated using one-way ANOVA analysis, where applicable. Bonferroni test will used as post hoc test after one-way ANOVA. The level of significance was set at <0.05.

For a study power of 80%, we determined 25 subjects will enough to test all parameters. The power of the test is pathfinder to know the probability that the test will give the right result when there is a real effect. The power of the significance test is the same thing as the sensitivity of a screening test. The effect size was 0.5.
