The Risk of Developing Ocular Involvement Among Behcet's Disease Patients Presenting with Mucocutaneous Involvement at Disease Onset: Data from the International AIDA Network Behcet's Disease Registry.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Behçet's disease (BD) frequently arises with exclusively mucocutaneous involvement, but some patients will develop major organ involvement, including ocular inflammation. This study aims to assess the patients' demographic and clinical characteristics that may be associated with the development of ocular involvement in patients with BD with exclusively mucocutaneous involvement in the early stages.

Methods

Patients' data were collected in the International AutoInflammatory Disease Alliance (AIDA) Network registry dedicated to BD.

Results

A total of 328 patients with BD were enrolled, 36 (11%) of whom developed ocular involvement over time. The following variables were significantly associated with the development of ocular inflammation at binary logistic
