To study the association between the occurrence of peripheral arthritis and of acute anterior uveitis during the course of ankylosing spondylitis (AS).
Retrospective clinical follow up by both chart review and direct patient interview was performed on 271 individuals comprised of 222 local white and 49 Taiwanese individuals with AS.
Of 89 white patients with acute anterior uveitis, 36 (40.4%) also had peripheral arthritis, compared with only 33 (24.8%) having peripheral arthritis among the 133 who did not have acute anterior uveitis (p < 0.02). Thirty seven (78.7%) of 49 Taiwanese individuals with AS had peripheral arthritis and these included all 10 patients with acute anterior uveitis from the entire disease cohort (p < 0.05).
This cross-sectional survey of AS patients supports the view that patients who develop peripheral arthritis are also more likely to develop acute anterior uveitis.
研究强直性脊柱炎(AS)病程中周围关节炎与急性前葡萄膜炎发生之间的关联。
通过病历审查和直接患者访谈对271名个体进行回顾性临床随访,其中包括222名当地白人和49名台湾AS患者。
在89例患有急性前葡萄膜炎的白人患者中,36例(40.4%)也患有周围关节炎,而在133例没有急性前葡萄膜炎的患者中,只有33例(24.8%)患有周围关节炎(p<0.02)。49例台湾AS患者中有37例(78.7%)患有周围关节炎,其中包括整个疾病队列中所有10例患有急性前葡萄膜炎的患者(p<0.05)。
这项对AS患者的横断面调查支持以下观点,即发生周围关节炎的患者也更有可能发生急性前葡萄膜炎。
