Multivariate Cox regression analysis was used to estimate the adjusted HRs and 95% CI of AMI, and was adjusted for age, gender, systemic comorbiditieBMJ openUveitis as a potential predictor of acute myocardial infarction in patients with Behcet's disease: a population-based cohort study.PMC7813367TCVGH-1096902BChen YYChen HHChou PLai YJYen YFfalseUveitis as a potential predictor of acute myocardial infarction in patients with Behcet's disease: a population-based cohort study.<h4>Objectives</h4>To investigate whether uveitis is a predictor of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) among patients with Behcet's disease (BD).<h4>Design</h4>Retrospective cohort study.<h4>Setting</h4>Patients with BD were retrieved from the whole population of the Taiwan National Health Insurance Research Database from 1 January 2001 to 31 December 2013.<h4>Participants</h4>Among the 6508 patients with BD, 2517 (38.7%) were in the uveitis group and 3991 were in the non-uveitis group.<h4>Primary and secondary outcome measures</h4>Kaplan-Meier curves were generated to compare the cumulative hazard of AMI in the uveitis and non-uveitis groups.
