  • Empty cells indicate that the factor was not statistically significant and thus was removed from the multivariable model. Risk factors with a prevalence of > 1% in the control population are included. Highlighted in yellow are risk factors with an effect size > 1.25 and a significant association with P < 0.01. Highlighted in blue are risk factors with an effect size of < 0.8 and a significant association with P < 0.01.

  • a General eye complaints were a broad category that included vision loss, blurry vision, retinal artery occlusion, and referral to ophthalmology.

  • * P value < 0.02.

  • ** P value < 0.001.

  • AS: ankylosing spondylitis; CAD: coronary artery disease; GI: gastrointestinal; GU: genitourinary; IBD: inflammatory bowel disease; MI: myocardial infarction; PsA: psoriatic arthritis; PsO: psoriasis; RA: rheumatoid arthritis.
