Abstract

Background: Multiple sclerosis (MS) and other autoimmune diseases might cluster. Our aim was to estimate the relative risk (RR) of other autoimmune diseases among MS patients and their first-degree relatives in a population-based cohort study.

Methods: Using the Danish Multiple Sclerosis Register, the Danish Hospital Discharge Register, and the Danish Civil Registration System, we estimated RRs for 42 different autoimmune diseases in a population-based cohort of 12 403 MS patients and 20 798 of their first-degree relatives. Ratios of observed to expected numbers of autoimmune diseases, based on national sex-, age-, and period-specific incidence rates, served as measures of the RRs.

Results: Compared with the general population, MS patients were at an increased risk of developing ulcerative colitis (RR = 2.0 (95% confidence interval (CI): 1.4-2.8), n = 29) and pemphigoid (RR = 15.4 (CI: 8.7-27.1), n = 12) but at reduced risk of rheumatoid arthritis (RR = 0.5 (CI: 0.4-0.8), n = 28) and temporal arteritis (RR = 0.5 (CI: 0.3-0.97), n = 11). First-degree relatives of MS patients were at increased risks of Crohn's disease (RR = 1.4 (CI: 1.04-1.9), n = 44), ulcerative colitis (RR = 1.3 (CI: 0.99-1.7), n = 51), Addison's disease (RR = 3.4 (CI: 1.3-9.0), n = 4), and polyarteritis nodosa (RR = 3.7 (CI: 1.4-10.0), n = 4).

Conclusion:

Patients: with MS and their first-degree relatives seem to be at an increased risk of acquiring certain other autoimmune diseases.

多发性硬化症患者及其一级亲属的自身免疫性疾病:丹麦的一项全国性队列研究

背景:多发性硬化症(MS)和其他自身免疫性疾病可能聚集在一起。我们的目的是在一项基于人群的队列研究中估计MS患者及其一级亲属中其他自身免疫性疾病的相对风险(RR)。方法:使用丹麦多发性硬化症登记册、丹麦医院出院登记册和丹麦民事登记系统，我们在以人群为基础的队列中估计了12 403名MS患者及其20 798名一级亲属的42种不同自身免疫性疾病的rr。根据国家性别、年龄和特定时期的发病率，观察到的自身免疫性疾病数量与预期数量的比率，作为rr的衡量标准。结果:与一般人群相比，MS患者发生溃疡性结肠炎(RR = 2.0(95%可信区间(CI): 1.4-2.8)， n = 29)和类天疱疮(RR = 15.4 (CI: 8.7-27.1)， n = 12)的风险增加，但类风湿关节炎(RR = 0.5 (CI: 0.4-0.8)， n = 28)和颞动脉炎(RR = 0.5 (CI: 0.3-0.97)， n = 11)的风险降低。MS患者一级亲属发生克罗恩病(RR = 1.4 (CI: 1.04-1.9)， n = 44)、溃疡性结肠炎(RR = 1.3 (CI: 0.99-1.7)， n = 51)、Addison's病(RR = 3.4 (CI: 1.3-9.0)， n = 4)、结节性多动脉炎(RR = 3.7 (CI: 1.4-10.0)， n = 4)的风险增加。结论:MS患者及其一级亲属发生某些自身免疫性疾病的风险增加。
