To analyze and compare sociodemographic features between Behçet uveitis and other non-infectious uveitis.
The data of adults with non-infectious uveitis in the nationwide uveitis database were analyzed and the sociodemographic features of patients with and without Behçet disease were compared.
This study included data of 4,978 eyes of 3,363 patients from 33 centers. The mean age at presentation was 38.7±13.3 (17-87) years. The mean age was 34.3±10.5 years in the Behçet uveitis group and 41.1±14.0 years in the other non-infectious uveitis group (p<0.001). Male predominance was seen in the Behçet uveitis group (67.7% vs. 32.3%) while female patients were more common in the other non-infectious uveitis group (54.4% vs. 45.6%, p<0.001). Regarding education level, the proportion of patients with low education was higher in the Behçet uveitis group than the other non-infectious uveitis group (49.6% vs. 43.4% in males, p=0.004; 61.5% vs. 59.2% in females, p=0.021). Having a low-income job or being currently unemployed, indicators of poor income, were more frequent in the Behçet uveitis group than in the other non-infectious uveitis group (32.0% vs. 22.8%, p<0.001). In the comparison of places of residence, the proportion of patients who lived in cities with low gross national product was 37.0% in the Behçet uveitis group and 31.1% in the other non-infectious uveitis group (p<0.001).
Patients with Behçet disease had lower education level and socioeconomic status than patients with other non-infectious uveitis entities.
分析比较贝赫切特葡萄膜炎与其他非感染性葡萄膜炎的社会人口学特征。
对全国性葡萄膜炎数据库中成人非感染性葡萄膜炎患者的资料进行分析，比较有无贝赫切特病患者的社会人口学特征。
本研究纳入了来自 33 个中心的 3363 例患者的 4978 只眼的数据。发病时的平均年龄为 38.7±13.3（17-87）岁。贝赫切特葡萄膜炎组的平均年龄为 34.3±10.5 岁，其他非感染性葡萄膜炎组的平均年龄为 41.1±14.0 岁（p<0.001）。贝赫切特葡萄膜炎组以男性为主（67.7% vs. 32.3%），而其他非感染性葡萄膜炎组以女性为主（54.4% vs. 45.6%，p<0.001）。在教育水平方面，贝赫切特葡萄膜炎组的低教育程度患者比例高于其他非感染性葡萄膜炎组（男性分别为 49.6% vs. 43.4%，p=0.004；女性分别为 61.5% vs. 59.2%，p=0.021）。从事低收入工作或失业，这两个贫穷收入的指标在贝赫切特葡萄膜炎组比其他非感染性葡萄膜炎组更为常见（32.0% vs. 22.8%，p<0.001）。在居住地比较中，贝赫切特葡萄膜炎组生活在低国民生产总值城市的患者比例为 37.0%，其他非感染性葡萄膜炎组为 31.1%（p<0.001）。
与其他非感染性葡萄膜炎实体相比，贝赫切特病患者的受教育程度和社会经济地位较低。
