Individuals with AA, both with and without concomitant ADs, were statistically compared. Variables significantly associated with coexisting ADs were identified using univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses. Multinomial logistic regression analysis was performed to identify the specific risk factors for each concomitant AD.Results: Among the 615 patients with AA, comorbid ADs were found in 76 (12.4%). Autoimmune thyroid disease (AITD) exhibited the highest frequency (n = 42, 6.8%), followed by vitiligo (n = 15, 2.4%), and systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) (n = 12, 2.0%). Logistic regression analyses revealed that female sex (odds ratio [OR] = 2.45, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 1.24– 4.82; P = 0.011), nail abnormalities (OR = 2.49, 95% CI = 1.14– 5.46; P = 0.023), and atopic diseases (OR = 1.98, 95% CI = 1.09– 2.43; P < 0.001) were significantly associated with coexisting ADs. Regarding each concomitant AD, nail abnormalities were an associated factor for AITD (OR = 4.65, 95% CI = 1.96– 7.24; P = 0.01), whereas coexisting atopic diseases were demonstrated as a predictor of vitiligo (OR = 2.48, 95% CI = 1.43– 4.58; P = 0.02). Female sex (OR = 1.61, 95% CI = 1.18– 4.27; P = 0.04) and family history of AD (OR = 1.85, 95% CI = 1.26– 4.19; P = 0.03) were predictors of SLE.Conclusion: This study suggests that female AA patients with nail abnormalities and atopic diseases have increased rates of AD comorbidities. A thorough review of systems for associated factors can help physicians screen for concomitant ADs.Keywords: AA, comorbidity, hair loss, non-scarring alopecia, predictor, systemic disordersChanprapaph KMahasaksiri TKositkuljorn CLeerunyakul KSuchonwanit PDove Medical Pressarticleaacomorbidityhair lossnon-scarring alopeciapredictorsystemic disordersPathologyRB1-214Therapeutics.
