Berlinberg EJ, et al. - In this cross-sectional, case-control study including a self-administered survey, medical records review, and diurnal salivary cortisol test from December 1, 2017, to March 14, 2018, researchers analyzed the relationship between uveitis and psychological stress. They noticed an association between uveitis and a 4.3-point improvement in Cohen 10-item Perceived Stress Scale (PSS-10) score.

Overall, they suggested higher levels of psychological stress among subjects with uveitis.
