Risk of Autoimmune Diseases Following Optic Neuritis: A Nationwide Population-Based Cohort Study

Abstract: ObjectivesOptic neuritis is (ON) is believed to be an immune-mediated disease; however, the association between optic neuritis and autoimmune diseases remains unclear. This study aimed to identify the incidence rate and adjusted hazard ratio (aHR) of autoimmune diseases in patients with optic neuritis.MethodsThis nationwide, population-based, retrospective cohort study collected patients’ data between 1999 and 2013 from the National Health Insurance Research Database in Taiwan. A total of 9,235 patients were i… Show more

“…The NHIRD consisted of data on reimbursement claims sourced from the National Health Insurance (NHI) program (10)(11)(12), a single-payer National Health Insurance (NHI) program which was instituted in 1995 and covered nearly 99% of Taiwan's population by the end of 2008 (13). Outpatient visits, hospital admissions, prescriptions, procedures, and disease diagnostic records were retrieved from NHIRD (14)(15)(16)(17)(18)(19)(20)(21)(22)(23)(24)(25)(26).…”

“…Lastly, we are interested in the possibility of utilizing ultrasound to diagnose other inflammatory arthritis or autoimmune diseases and their comorbidities, [14][15][16][17][18] such as ankylosing spondylitis (AS) 19 or psoriatic arthritis (PsA), [20][21][22][23] juvenile idiopathic arthritis, 24,25 osteoarthritis, 26,27 or fibromyalgia. 28 The early signs of AS often appear as enthesis inflammation, 29,30 which may be detected by power Doppler ultrasound (PDUS) through the presence of bone erosion, pathological structural changes, and thickening of the tendon at the site of insertion.…”

“…Uveitis is the most prevalent extra-articular manifestation, and there exists a correlation between certain ocular diseases and AS. Patients with optic neuritis are a high-risk population for autoimmune diseases, including AS ( 16 , 17 ). However, due to limited data on AS cases, there are few studies on the association between AS and glaucoma (even primary glaucoma).…”
