Factors affecting the resolution of acute non-infectious anterior scleritis

CONCLUSION: Patient characteristics including a lupus diagnosis and Hispanic race were associated with faster times to symptom resolution and steroid sparing resolution, as were treatments including systemic NSAIDs and TNF-⍺ inhibitors. Due to limitations in the available data, this analysis did not account for disease severity. Future prospective studies will further elucidate the relationship between these factors and patient outcomes.PMID:34210671 | DOI:10.1136/bjophthalmol-2021-318808
