Association of vitiligo and inflammatory arthropathy in hospitalized US adults.
The purpose of this study was to explore the relationships between vitiligo and autoimmune arthropathies. The researchers analyzed data from the 2002-2016 Nationwide Inpatient Sample (NIS) according to Healthcare Cost and Utilization Project (HCUP) policies. Between 2002 and 2016, 96,970,768 admissions were captured, including 18,231 (0.02%) with vitiligo. The study found that vitiligo was significantly associated with higher odds of any inflammatory arthritis, psoriatic arthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, and other inflammatory arthritis, with a trend toward significance with reactive arthritis and ankylosing spondylitis.

Survival rates of cancer patients with and without rheumatic disease: a retrospective cohort analysis.
The researchers compared the outcomes of gastric, colon, lung, and breast cancer patients with and without rheumatic diseases. They found that rheumatoid arthritis and dermatomyositis/polymyositis seemed to be associated with a higher mortality in patients with lung or breast cancers, whereas systemic sclerosis seemed to be associated with decreased mortality in patients with lung cancer.
