British Journal of Ophthalmology Oct 07, 2020
Yang P, Wang C, Su G, et al. - Researchers conducted this retrospective non-interventional case series to investigate the prevalence, risk factors and treatment outcome of ocular hypertension (OHT)/glaucoma in Chinese patients with Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada (VKH). The sample consisted of 2,281 patients with VKH referred from April 2008 to April 2019. Of these cases, 1457 had a 3-month minimum follow-up period and were included in this analysis. Out of 2,914 eyes in 1,457 patients with VKH, 695 (23.9%) eyes in 425 patients (29.2%) developed OHT/glaucoma. In Chinese patients with VKH, OHT/glaucoma is a common complication. OHT/glaucoma risk factors included worse acuity at first and final visits, the longer interval between uveitis attack and referral, more recurrent episodes and posterior synechiae.
