Journal Title: GJRA-Global Journal For Research Analysis - Year 2019, Vol 8, Issue 3
Abstract
Aim of the study : To characterize clinical features and quality of life in patients with acute anterior uveitis (AAU) associated with seronegative spondyloarthropathies (SpA). Material and Methods : 68 SpA patients with or without AAU were included in the prospective clinical study. VF-14 questionnaire, macula OCT, lens opacities using LOCS III were assessed. Results: Macula was thicker in uveitic (279.31 (53.64) μm) compared to fellow eyes (261.52 (43.714) μm), p<0.05. More patients without AAU were treated with methotrexate, p<0.05. VF-14 values differed between LOCS III grade P1 (93.29 (11.21)) and P3 (80.36 (8.18)); C1 (92.79 (11.79)) and C2 (85.92 (17.17)) and C3 (74.05 (11.89)); NO1 (92.06 (14.17)) and NO3 (84.82 (9.22) scores), p<0.05. Conclusions: Maculae thickness in uveitic eyes was increased. More patients without AAU were treated with methotrexate. VF-14 scores were lower for patients with higher LOCS III grade and recurrent AAU.
