Abstract
: PurposeTo identify systemic factors associated with the development of central serous chorioretinopathy (CSCR).: DesignRetrospective, case–control study. Participants and controls: 312 cases and 312 controls.: ResultsBy use of a multivariate analysis, the previously described risk factors, systemic steroid use (odds ratio [OR], 37.1; 95% confidence interval [CI], 6.2–221.8), and pregnancy (OR, 7.1; 95% CI, 1.0–50.7), were strongly associated with CSCR. Additional risk factors identified by this study include antibiotic use (OR, 6.2; 95% CI, 1.0–37.9), alcohol use (OR, 4.9; 95% CI, 1.5–16.3), untreated hypertension (OR, 3.3; 95% CI, 1.3–8.5), and allergic respiratory disease (OR, 2.5; 95% CI, 1.2–5.1).: ConclusionsA wide variety of systemic factors are associated with CSCR. Prospective studies are warranted to evaluate the nature and significance of these associations further. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]
