Article Synopsis
- A study was conducted to determine how common ocular sarcoidosis (OS) is in Northern Ireland, using the IWOS criteria from 2019, as there was no previous data available for this region.
- The review identified 86 patients with OS, revealing a prevalence rate of 4.5 cases per 100,000 people, highlighting that panuveitis and ocular hypertension were the most common complications.
- The findings indicated a significant progression of ocular involvement to multi-organ disease in 80% of cases, with the lungs being the most frequently affected extra-ocular site, suggesting the need for further imaging and tests in suspected cases.

Our objective was to identify qualitative evidence to understand men's perceptions of osteoporosis and fracture.
