More results

The association between non-infectious uveitis and depression, anxiety, substance and opioid abuse was stronger in Black participants than White participants.

The frequency of PHQ-2 and PHQ-9 questionnaire usage was low among non-infectious uveitis patients with a total of 4.8% and 1.4% respectively.
