Spondyloarthritis & psoriatic arthritis
Comparison of clinical characteristics between patients with axial spondyloarthritis with and without acute anterior uveitis: a multicentre study of the Chinese Spondyloarthritis Registry
Authors' conclusion
In Chinese patients with axSpA, older age at diagnosis, longer disease duration, presence of HLA-B27, current or past Achilles tendinitis, current or past dactylitis, current or past psoriasis, and a good response to NSAIDs were positively associated with AAU.
