n = 214 eyes, 53 eyes of women and 161 eyes of men, unless otherwise stated.

*Generalized estimating equation models.

^†Fisher’s exact test.

^‡Two eyes with isolated scleritis were excluded from the classification.

^§Evaluation of posterior segment was not possible in 2 eyes (0.9%) of 2 patients due to media opacities.
