Characteristics and Outcomes of Patients with Scleritis in the IRIS® Registry (Intelligent Research in Sight) Database.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

To report patient characteristics and factors associated with poor visual acuity and abnormal intraocular pressure (IOP) in patients with scleritis in the American Academy of Ophthalmology's IRIS® Registry (Intelligent Research in Sight).

Design

Retrospective cohort study.

Participants

Patients in the IRIS Registry with at least 3 office visits associated with an International Classification of Diseases scleritis code from 2013 through 2019.

Methods

We evaluated demographic and clinical characteristics in scleritis and scleritis subtype cohorts. We conducted Cox proportional hazards and multiple logistic regression analyses to assess associations with poor best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA), vision loss, and IOP abnormalities.
