| Summary: | Introduction: Studies on the association between immune-mediated disorders and lymphoid disorders have been very limited, especially in diverse populations. The objective of this study is to evaluate the relationship between a variety of immune diseases and lymphoid malignancies. Methods: The NIH “All of Us” database was utilized to perform a cross-sectional analysis between lymphoid disorders and various immune diseases. The adjusted multivariable logistic regression analysis was performed in R to examine the association between lymphoid disorders such as leukemia, lymphoma, and plasma cell neoplasms against a variety of autoimmune diseases. Results: In the study cohort of 316,044 patients, we found significant associations between lymphomas and the aforementioned immune-mediated diseases, with the exception of dermatomyositis and scleroderma. Lymphoid leukemias showed significant associations (<i>p</i> < 0.001) with several autoimmune conditions, including psoriasis, type 1 diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis, systemic lupus erythematosus, ulcerative colitis, and hyperthyroidism. In plasma cell neoplasms, significant associations were found in all but dermatomyositis, scleroderma, vitiligo, and atopic dermatitis (<i>p</i> < 0.001). Conclusions: In this population-level analysis, the majority of immune-mediated diseases were found to be significantly correlated with an increased incidence of lymphoid malignancies. As such, patients diagnosed with immune-mediated diseases should undergo close surveillance and early screening with the goal of early identification and treatment of lymphoid malignancies. |
