Comparative risk of glaucoma surgery in uveitis-associated versus primary open-angle glaucoma: a multicentre database study.

In the sensitive phenotype (n = 13 873 each), uveitis history was associated with greater risk of bleb-forming surgery (HR: 1.76 [95% CI: 1.60-1.93]), including aqueous shunts (HR: 2.67 [95% CI: 2.38-3.00]), but lower risk of noninvasive procedures and IOP-lowering drops.

Predictors of bleb-forming surgery included male sex, Hispanic ethnicity, anterior uveitis, nicotine dependence, higher body mass index, and immunomodulatory therapy use.
