Posterior Subcapsular Cataracts Induced by Corticosteroids in Patients with Rheumatoid Arthritis
Abstract
POSTERIOR subcapsular cataracts (PSC) are generally associated with exposure to toxic agents, posterior intraocular disease, ionizing radiation, or blunt trauma. As a rule these lenticular lesions are differentiated from senile cataracts by their location and appearance on slit lamp examination. The discovery of PSC, in the absence of any of the above etiologic factors, in four rheumatoid arthritis patients who were receiving prolonged administration of synthetic corticosteroids prompted a careful review and examination of rheumatoid arthritis patients available for study between June, 1959, and April, 1960. This survey revealed that 39% of patients with rheumatoid arthritis who had received long-term corticosteroid therapy developed PSC, whereas those who had not were free of this type of lenticular opacity. This ocular lesion, to date, has been relatively benign and has not caused severe impairment of vision. Since formation of PSC has not been described previously as one of the adverse effects of

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
