  • The propensity scores were based on, age, sex, line of treatment and prior AU history, see the Methods section.

  • *Any registration of AU prior to treatment start.

  • †Any registration of AU in year prior to treatment start.

  • ‡Number of patients with an event (=first AU-diagnosis) during follow-up.

  • §Adjusted for patient global assessment.

  • ADA, adalimumab; AU, anterior uveitis; BASDAI, Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis Disease Activity Index; CER, certolizumab; ETN, etanercept; GOL, golimumab; IFX, infliximab; SEC, secukinumab.
