| Abstract |
Abstract Purpose: To evaluate uveitis cases presenting at older ages for the first time. Methods: We retrospectively analyzed the clinical data related to the 90 eyes of 68 patients who presented with a first episode of uveitis at the age of ≥60 years and were seen at the Uveitis Division of the Ulucanlar Eye Hospital from 1996 to 2013. Results: The location of the uveitis was anterior in 51 (75%) patients. Nine patients (13.2%) presented with panuveitis, 5 (7.3%) with posterior uveitis, and 3 (4.4%) patients with intermediate uveitis. Idiopathic uveitis in 23 (33.8%) and presumed herpetic anterior uveitis in 23 (33.8%) patients were the most common diagnoses, while other diagnostic entities accounted for 22 (32.3%) patients. The most common complications were elevation of intraocular pressure in 17.7%, cystoid macular edema (CME) in 11.1%, and corneal scar in 11.1% of eyes. Conclusions: While idiopathic uveitis and presumed herpetic anterior uveitis were the most common causes, although in an endemic country, Behçet disease was not a common cause of uveitis in the elderly population. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 2. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 12 August 2014.
All research outputs
#16,580,596
of 25,374,917 outputs
Outputs from Ocular Immunology & Inflammation
#389
of 1,307 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#134,847
of 240,212 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Ocular Immunology & Inflammation
#5
of 11 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,374,917 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 34th percentile – i.e., 34% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 1,307 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 4.2. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 69% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 240,212 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 43rd percentile – i.e., 43% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 11 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 54% of its contemporaries.
