To compare visual outcomes, ocular complications and therapies for patients with scleritis-associated intraocular inflammation (SAI) and patients with isolated scleritis (IS).
A total of 52 patients (36 with SAI and 16 with IS) were reviewed. Mean age (standard deviation) at presentation was 48.4 years old (± 15.4) in the SAI group and 53 years old (± 17.1) in the IS group (p = .37). Visual acuity was worse at presentation and last visit for patients with SAI compared to IS (p = .04). Patients in the SAI group developed greater posterior segment complications than in the IS group (p = .002).
Scleritis with intraocular inflammation was associated with a higher rate of visual morbidity compared to isolated scleritis. More aggressive management strategies may be needed for patients who present with scleritis associated with inflammation.
比较巩膜炎相关性眼内炎症(SAI)患者和单纯巩膜炎(IS)患者的视力结果、眼部并发症和治疗方法。
共回顾了 52 名患者(36 名 SAI 和 16 名 IS)。SAI 组的平均年龄(标准差)为 48.4 岁(±15.4),IS 组为 53 岁(±17.1)(p=0.37)。与 IS 相比,SAI 患者的视力在就诊时和最后一次就诊时均较差(p=0.04)。与 IS 相比,SAI 组患者的后节并发症发生率更高(p=0.002)。
与单纯巩膜炎相比,伴眼内炎症的巩膜炎患者的视力受损发生率更高。对于出现巩膜炎相关性炎症的患者,可能需要更积极的治疗策略。
