Thymic characteristics in patients with autoimmune diseases: a multicentre radiological observational studyResearch in context by Haoxiao Chang, Junqiang Yan, Anxin Wang, Ningning Wang, Peng Liu, Yemin Shi, Xin Zhao, Jinqiao Zhu, Yuan Cai, Xue Xia, Yunyi Hao, Shiyi Yin, Jing Wang, Xinli Wang, Lina Sun, Jia Ma, Xiaoyu Huang, Haonan Guan, De-Cai Tian, Kaibin Shi, Ganqin Du, Wenhao Huang, Guoyan Qi, Hao Li, Yongjun Wang, Fu-Dong Shi, Zhang Zhang, Wei-Na Jin

“…Notably, the subgroup for female patients of childbearing age (≤49 years) exhibited an especially prominent difference in thymic density (−16.23; 95% CI, −19.19 to −13.26; p < 0.0001 in all comparisons) and in the proportion of fatty replacement (85.37% vs 71.68%; p < 0.0001). Interpretation: Radiological assessments reveal a consistent pattern of exacerbated age-dependent thymic involution across 16 autoimmune diseases, suggesting a common underlying mechanism in the development of these diseases. …”
