Key clinical point: Uveitis is far more prevalent in patients with axial spondylarthritis (axSpA) than in those with psoriatic arthritis (PsA). A family history of SpA, axial disease at diagnosis, and disease duration were important factors associated with the occurrence of uveitis in PsA.
Major finding: Uveitis was more frequent in patients with axSpA vs PsA (11.7% vs 2.7%), with a median uveitis recurrence rate of 0.205 episodes per year and 0.285 episodes per year for axSpA and PsA, respectively. Family history of SpA (odds ratio [OR] 6.35; P = .023), axial disease at diagnosis (OR 5.61; P = .038), and disease duration (OR 1.12; P = .004) were associated with the occurrence of uveitis in PsA.
Study details: Findings are from a retrospective study including 264 patients with axSpA and 369 patients with PsA.
Disclosures: This study did not receive any specific funding except open access funding by HEAL-Link Greece. The authors declared no conflicts of interest.
