The influence of uterine leiomyomatosis on the onset of psoriasis: a nationwide population-based study of 2.5 million Korean females
Abstract Background Uterine leiomyomatosis and psoriasis are prevalent conditions and shared pathophysiological factors indicate a potential association. However, a direct correlation has not been established. We investigated the relationship between uterine leiomyomatosis and the risk of new-onset...

| description | Abstract Background Uterine leiomyomatosis and psoriasis are prevalent conditions and shared pathophysiological factors indicate a potential association. However, a direct correlation has not been established. We investigated the relationship between uterine leiomyomatosis and the risk of new-onset psoriasis in Korean females of reproductive age. Methods This nationwide population-based study used data from the Korean National Health Insurance System database. Data from 2,755,790 Korean females 20–39 years of age who underwent health check-ups from 2009 to 2012 were analyzed. Monitoring began at the initial national health assessment within the time frame and continued until either the diagnosis of emerging psoriasis or until December 2018. Results Among 2,503,769 females included, 1.96% were diagnosed with psoriasis and 0.72% with uterine leiomyomatosis. The incidence ratio for new-onset psoriasis was higher in uterine leiomyomatosis patients (3.13 per 1,000) than in subjects without uterine leiomyomatosis (2.72 per 1,000). The hazard ratio for psoriasis occurrence was 1.18 (1.07–1.31) in uterine leiomyomatosis patients, 1.22 (1.08–1.37) in subjects who did not undergo myomectomy, and 1.12 (0.94–1.33) in patients who underwent myomectomy. Conclusions Uterine leiomyomatosis patients, especially those not undergoing myomectomy, showed an increased risk of psoriasis. Lifestyle modifications and surgical intervention for uterine leiomyomatosis may also be beneficial for psoriasis occurrence. |
